If any other president said something like this in a speech to a military academy, it would be a massive scandal. Instead, it isn’t among the ten most dangerous things he’s done this week.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Kirk was a good man. He had morals, beliefs, stood for freedom and equality. He was rowdy at times and boy was he a hypocrite, but you knew he was reliable when it counted.
Which is why I think he’d be disappointed by how many people seem to think Charlie Kirk was a saint. James T Kirk never would

Three students were shot at a high school in Colorado, and Charlie Kirk was just shot and killed at a university in Utah.
Gun violence and political violence cannot continue to devastate our communities. We need gun reform now.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.

My mom gave me her original copy of this album when I was in Jr High School. Mom was no prude, but she was a bit sheepish about giving this record to a preteen boy (and Boy Scout)… because of the conclusion of “Be Prepared”!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
