President Trump said on Friday that the “radical left” was responsible for much of the political violence in the country, and walked to the edge of excusing violence on the right, saying that most on the extreme right of the political spectrum were driven there because “they don’t want to see crime.”

The killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at a college in Utah is the latest in a string of acts of political violence in recent years that have spanned the political spectrum.

“The left has declared LITERAL WAR on us. DEMOCRATS AND THEIR VlOLENT RHETORIC OWN THIS!” wrote pro-Trump journalist Nick Sortor, sharing a video of a man being detained, who Sortor claimed was the shooter—though it has since been reported that a suspect is not yet in custody. Charlie Kirk was shot dead at a college event in Utah Wednesday.

Following the death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert took to their respective late-night shows to address the tragedy -- and the turbulent aftermath.

The finger-pointing over the shooting bubbled up even as the identity and motive of the killer remained unknown on the day after the killing.

In interviews from across the country, people expressed fear and wariness, and said that the country seemed to be spinning out of control.

Once a left-wing fetish, the heckler’s veto has gained conservative adherents.

Political polar opposites may be more alike than they think, according to a new study. Extreme liberals and far-right activists process political information similarly, say scientists. American researchers found that the brains of politically extreme individuals - whether left- or right-leaning - appear to respond to and process political information in "surprisingly similar" ways.

Across the political spectrum, young people are reckoning with what Charlie Kirk's death means for their generation and grappling with how to feel.

Kirk's assassination has renewed attention to escalating threats of political violence in the United States that cut across the ideological spectrum. His killing is drawing bipartisan condemnation, with influencers on both the left and the right expressing concerns that they could be similarly targeted.

As voices across the political spectrum call to lower the temperature following the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, many in the MAGA world are mourning his loss, with some enraged and escalating their rhetoric online.
