One day after blaming the ‘radical left’ for the shooting and vowing a crackdown, President Trump praised Charlie Kirk’s call for nonviolence, saying, ‘that’s the way I’d like to see people respond.’ Here are Thursday, September 11’s key developments in U.S. politics.
Donald Trump urged his supporters to remain peaceful after the fatal shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, as the gunman remained at large more than 24 hours into an intensive manhunt.
A day after delivering a fiery address blaming the "radical left" for the killing and vowing a sweeping crackdown, President Trump endorsed a conservative reporter’s call for his supporters to remain nonviolent.
Trump said Kirk had been “an advocate of nonviolence” and “that’s the way I’d like to see people respond”.
The president touted "big progress" in the investigation even as authorities confirmed the gunman was still at large, a day after 31-year-old Charlie Kirk—a key Trump ally who energized youth support for the MAGA movement—was fatally shot while speaking at a Utah university.
