In a video address to the nation posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump pledged a massive crackdown on "radical left political violence" in the wake of the killing of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Even though the gunman responsible for Kirk's death on a Utah college campus remains at large and the motive remains unknown, Trump insisted that the "radical left" was behind the shooting. He added that it was "long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible."

"This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now," Trump said.

"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials and everyone else who brings order to our country," said Trump, who has so far not addressed the pattern of MAGA activists threatening federal judges.

"Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives," he added.

Trump went on to praise Kirk as "the best of America," and declared that "the monster who attacked him attacked our whole country." He then said that he and others would "ensure that his voice, his message and his legacy will live on for countless generations to come."

Kirk — one of the most influential figures in the MAGA movement — was answering a question about "mass shooters in America" during a question-and-answer session on Utah Valley University's campus in Orem, Utah just before he was fatally shot by an unknown gunman. A 71 year-old man was initially arrested in the aftermath of the shooting, but was later released.
