Donald Trump Jr. reflects on Charlie Kirk’s life and discusses the current climate on political violence:

DONALD TRUMP JR.: The violence only goes one way. It only goes one way. We have seen that now, whether it’s the assassination attempts on my father’s life, whether it’s Charlie Kirk, whether it’s the threatening of a Supreme Court justice or doxing ICE agents, that goes one way. It is entirely owned by the left. So when I watch the radical left television right now, well, it’s really the fault of both sides. No, it’s not. It is not the fault of both sides. What was Charlie’s fault? What were the things that he did there were so radical and so terrible? He talked about God, family, country, the Constitution is good, men can’t be women. These are not radical ideas. But they are radical if they’re effective against the agenda of the left. You saw that. Trump was effective against the agenda of the left, so you take him out. But they don’t talk about the softball shooting of Congress. You have Steve Scalise and the others. Again, violence against Republicans. They don’t talk about — I can’t, frankly, name a mass shooting in the last year or two in America that wasn’t committed by a transgender lunatic that has been pumped up on probably hormones since they were three years olds because they want to normalize that, and if you say something about it is verboten because we are supposed to trust the science even if it’s not science and even if everyone understands it. Those people are protected, they are hidden, they are beyond reproach. You will never see the manifesto. Now you are reading about trans paraphernalia written on the cartridges of this rifle that killed one of my dearest friends in life. It is absolute sickness. And I think the one thing that Charlie perhaps did better than anyone is Charlie actually brought people together. He brought people together that didn’t necessarily agree with him. They showed up at those events. They heard him. They saw the exuberance of all these other youth, and they said, you know what? This guy is right. There’s nothing wrong with family or loving your country or loving America and being a patriot, believing in the Constitution. And the fact that he was able to be that effective is exactly why they had to take him out. Just like my father was willing and is willing to take on the swamp, to take on the establishment, to take on the globalists and the world elite and do what is right for the hardworking men in America. You know what, you can say those things, but if you actually start doing it, if you are effective at doing it, we are going to take you out. This is a constant theme. Charlie was one of the kindest and mildest souls I have ever seen. He did those things, he have those conversations with a smile on his face. Again, as I said earlier, he gave his biggest detractors, the people who hated him the most in the world, he literally gave them his platform on a daily basis to argue their ideas. And they couldn’t do it effectively, so they had to kill him. And that’s a sad, sad place to be as a country, as a civilization, and certainly in America.
