Furor Over Charlie Kirk Shooting: Video Footage Sparks Outrage
Washington (The Uttam Hindu): US President Donald Trump issued a video message on Thursday expressing deep sorrow and anger over the killing of his colleague Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. He called it a "heinous crime and dark moment" for America. Trump promised that his administration would bring everyone involved in this atrocity to justice. The video of Charlie Kirk being shot is also going viral on social media.
“Radical Left’s Rhetoric Responsible”
In a video posted on his social media platform Truth, Trump said that the radical left has long compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s most dangerous criminals. He said that this poisonous rhetoric promotes violence and terrorism in America. Trump also mentioned some past events – like the attack on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, attacks on ICE agents, the killing of a health official on the streets of New York, and the shooting of four people, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. He said that “political violence has not only taken the lives of innocent people but has also hurt the soul of America.”
President Trump reiterated that his administration will find everyone involved in this murder and other political violence. This will also include those organizations that support and finance such crimes. He clearly said that "Anyone who acts against our judges, police force and people who maintain law and order will be brought to justice." Paying tribute to Charlie Kirk, Trump said that his sacrifice will not go in vain. He appealed to the public to unite and raise their voice to end political violence and anarchy in America.
