What is happening?
Political tensions in the U.S. have escalated after the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The 31-year-old was fatally shot last Wednesday while attending an event at Utah Valley University.
His accused killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has since been arrested and charged.
Trump blames the Left within hours
President Donald Trump quickly reacted to Kirk’s death, squarely blaming the political left.
In a video released just hours after the shooting, he claimed that years of left-wing rhetoric comparing conservative voices to Nazis had fueled this violence.
“This must stop right now”
In his address, Trump declared that the assassination was the result of “terrorism” stoked by liberal attacks.
“It must stop right now,” he urged, reiterating that the left bears responsibility for what he called a growing wave of political violence.
Republicans rally around Kirk’s legacy
Many Republicans are honoring Kirk as a martyr and a champion of free speech.
His death has intensified conservative outrage, with GOP leaders using the moment to galvanize their base and double down on culture war issues.
Marjorie Taylor Greene renews “National Divorce” call
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene reignited her push for a so-called “national divorce” between red and blue states.
In the wake of Kirk’s killing, Greene declared, “The left and right have nothing left to talk about.”
Greene’s longstanding secession rhetoric resurfaces
Greene previously floated the idea of breaking up the U.S. in 2023, posting on social media: “We need to separate by red states and blue states.”
Her remarks were widely condemned at the time, even by fellow Republicans like Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who called the idea “evil.”
“They want all of us dead”
In a new statement, Greene alleged that millions on the left celebrated Kirk’s death and claimed it revealed a broader desire to “kill” conservatives.
She described Kirk as a peaceful man who debated ideas and accused the left of crossing a deadly line.
Frames Kirk’s death as a spiritual turning point
Describing Kirk as a martyr, Greene said his death had sparked a “spiritual revival” to “build the kingdom for Christ.”
She claimed that real change wouldn’t come from government, but from outside it—and through faith.
“The Government is not the answer, God is”
Greene criticized Congress and Republican leadership for failing to enact Trump-era policies.
She expressed frustration over the latest budget continuing to fund “transgender policies,” arguing that the federal government had lost its way.
A nation divided
As rhetoric intensifies, calls for a national split—once fringe—are now being voiced by sitting lawmakers.
Whether Greene’s calls gain traction or remain symbolic, the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination is pushing the U.S. political divide into dangerous new territory.
