Obama Implies Trump Responsible for Murder of Charlie Kirk - JD Vance Responds

Barack Obama addressed the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk while speaking at theJefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania , and instead of blaming Kirk for his own death as thousands of leftists have done, decided he’d blame Donald Trump instead. 

After leading by saying that Kirk’s death was horrific, he then listed off a bunch of out-of-context controversial quotes from Kirk as qualifiers. 

Obama then claimed Trump wanted to use Kirk’s assassination as “a rationale for trying to silence discussion around who we are as a country and what direction we should go.” He then claimed that when he had been in the White House, “those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the United States government behind extremist views.”

That’s coming from a man who weaponized the IRS against right-wing groups, armed drug cartels, and employed Van Jones, Anita Dunn,  John Holdren, and Cass Sunstein, among others. He sided with Black Lives Matter radicals during the justified shootings of Trayvon Martin (who he infamously said would be his son, if he had one) and Michael Brown, leading to race relations when he left office being the worst since the LA race riots. 

JD Vance slammed the comments after being informed of them during an interview with Jesse Watters. 

"We're not exploiting Charlie Kirk's death to do anything except for achieve justice," Vance fired back. "And I think if Barack Obama - I haven't seen that comment, Jesse, but if he said that, that's absolutely disgusting. What we're trying to do is understand how young people are being radicalized and who is funding all these efforts of radicalization."

"We saw this in the summer of 2020," Vance continued. "Now, thank god that wasn't primarily, actually 20 people, over 20 people died in the riots in the summer of 2020. That is political terrorism. But it's not just the people who were killing the cops. It's not just the people who were engaging in throwing the Molotov cocktails in the riots. Where was the money coming from? Who was organizing this violent activity?"

"That is not going after Democrats, unless, by implication, you're saying every single Democrat is involved in planning political violence. If that's true ... then we're going to get to the bottom of the truth, and we're going to stop the political violence," he added. "And we're going to do it however we have to do it, of course, within the constitutional limits that Charlie loved so much."
