The representative Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, rejected the idea that the extreme left rhetoric led to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, defending his right to refer to President Donald Trump as “Wannabe Hitler.”
Kirk's death has caused a national conversation about political violence, particularly if referring to the opposition of one as “fascist” or “Hitler” encourages unstable radicals to attack them in lone wolf attacks. According to the reports of the law, the bullet covers found near where Kirk was killed was registered with anti -fascist messages.
Since the attempted murder of July 2024 against Trump, Republicans have accused members of the media and democratic opponents of feeding violence by comparing it repeatedly with the Nazi leader.
Crockett, however, argued during his appearance on Friday at the “The Breakfast Club” that is actually Trump who has encouraged a culture of political violence. While she denounced political violence, she also condemned the Republicans for “presuming that [the assassin] He is someone who came from our side of the hall. “

“Even if you came from someone from our side of the hall, suppose the worst, ok, so let's talk about it,” he said. “Let's talk about what radicalized it.”
She continued with Trump's finger.
“So, we have to talk about what it means when you run for president, or postulate for one of these upper offices, and you go out and talk about hitting people, you go out and say things like: 'I could shoot someone in the middle of the street in New York and could still win,'” he said.
“We have to talk, that's the next level,” he said. “I do not agree with you, I call you, you know, 'aspiring Hitler', all those things are like, not necessarily saying: 'salt and hurt someone.'

During the same interview, he argued that the vast majority of mass shootings are linked to the “ideology of white supremacy.”
“It is always a thing of the white supremacy that is happening. It is not the blacks who are dating, those who are dating are not immigrants. But in which cities we are entering? Black cities, because we are supposedly the ones who commit all crime,” he said.
When he was contacted to comment on Fox News Digital, the White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, demanded Crokett to clarify his comments.

“What the hell Jasmine Crockett wanted to say when he said he was not” necessarily “encouraging his followers to hurt Republicans? Sounds as if justifies political violence,” Jackson said. “She needs to clarify this immediately. Her comments are not only deeply worrisome, but they only serve to divide and radicalize their supporters on the left, and it is negligible that she would try to point to the fingers to President Trump for the murder of her beloved friend, Charlie Kirk.”
