JD Vance Blames Charlie Kirk’s Death on ‘Left-Wing Political Radicalization’

Sep 17, 2025 | Politics

Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday in a preview for his interview that will air tonight on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” that the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was caused by “left-wing political radicalization” of the killer.

Vance said, “You talk to the shooter’s mother, you talk to the shooter’s father. You talk to the local district attorney. You talk to the FBI director or the deputy director of the FBI. You look at every ounce of evidence that we have, and it is clear this is a person who grew up in a pretty normal family, actually had a pretty good home life, who was radicalized by the far left, by the social networks of the far left, by the ideas of the far left, and got so far down the path of radicalization that he killed my friend.”

He added, “That is not a both sides problem. My friend is dead because of left-wing political radicalization, and if you want to cut that sh-t out, then be honest about it and look yourself in the mirror.”
