Vice President J.D. Vance used his closing remarks on The Charlie Kirk Show to issue a blunt warning against attempts to normalize political violence, declaring there can be “no unity” with those who defended or celebrated Kirk’s assassination.
“There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents’ politics,” Vance said. “There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There is no unity with people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.”
Vance also condemned media organizations and donors he claimed supported those defending the killing. “There is no unity with people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words which they disagree,” he said.
The vice president called for Americans to stand together in rejecting political violence. “I am desperate for our country to be united in condemnation of the actions and ideas that killed my friend,” Vance said. “We can only have it with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable. And when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.”
Elon Musk echoed the vice president’s message, writing on X: “Unity is impossible with evil fanatics who celebrate murder.”
