Vice President Vance Attributes Charlie Kirk's Assassination to Left-Wing Extremism

Vice President JD Vance hosted a special edition of 'The Charlie Kirk Show' from the White House, honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10. Vance attributed Kirk's assassination to left-wing extremism, stating, 'This is not a both-sides problem. One side has a much bigger and malignant problem.'

During the broadcast, Vance announced plans to target non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that, according to him, 'foment, facilitate, and engage in violence.' He emphasized the administration's commitment to dismantling these networks to prevent future incidents.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller echoed Vance's sentiments, asserting that the administration would use all available resources to 'identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks.'

Vance also urged the public to report individuals celebrating Kirk's death, suggesting they contact the employers of such individuals. He stated, 'We don't believe in political violence, but we believe in civility. There is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.'

The suspect in Kirk's killing, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is currently in custody. Authorities have indicated that Robinson had an 'obsession' with Kirk and had been tracking his events, though the exact motive remains under investigation.
