Kirk\u2019s death<\/a>
\n\u00a0has sparked a nationwide conversation about political violence, particularly whether referring to one\u2019s opposition as “fascist” or “Hitler” encourages unstable radicals to target them in lone wolf attacks. According to law enforcement reports, bullet casings found near where Kirk was killed were inscribed with\u00a0anti-fascist messages.<\/p>\nSince the July 2024\u00a0assassination attempt\u00a0on Trump, Republicans have accused members of the media and Democratic opponents of fueling violence by repeatedly comparing him to the Nazi leader.<\/p>\n
Crockett, however, argued during her Friday appearance on the\u00a0“The Breakfast Club”\u00a0that it is actually Trump who has fostered a culture of political violence. While she denounced political violence, she also condemned Republicans for “presuming that [the assassin] is somebody that came from our side of the aisle.”<\/p>\n
\n“Even if it came from someone on our side of the aisle, let\u2019s assume the worst, OK, so let\u2019s talk about it,” she said. “Let\u2019s talk about what \u2018radicalized\u2019 him.”<\/p>\n
She went on to point the finger at Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“So, we’ve got to talk about like what it means when you’re running for president, or you’re running for one of these higher offices, and you go out there and you talk about beating people up, you go out there and you say things like, ‘I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York and I could still win,'” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We got to talk about, like that, that is next level,” she said. “Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know,\u00a0\u2018wannabe Hitler,\u2019\u00a0all those things are like, not necessarily saying, ‘Go out and hurt somebody.’ But when you’re literally telling people at rallies, ‘Yeah, beat them up’ and that kind of stuff, you are promoting a culture of violence.”<\/p>\n
