Crockett Defends Extreme Rhetoric After Charlie Kirk
Crockett Defends Trump-Hitler Comparison
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) stood by her comparison of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler during an interview on The Breakfast Club,
saying Trump’s language contributes to political violence.
“This is a man who said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose support,”
she said, referencing Trump’s past comments.
Violence and Rhetoric
Her remarks followed the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk by a suspected leftist, Tyler Robinson.
Crockett emphasized her comments weren’t a call to violence but warned of Trump’s role in fueling aggression:
“He encouraged people to beat up others at his rallies.”
Criticism of Escalating Language
Critics say Democrats often use extreme rhetoric, portraying Trump and Republicans as threats to democracy.
President Biden once joked about fighting Trump, and some argue such language could radicalize unstable individuals.
Suspect’s Background
Robinson, described as increasingly extreme by a former friend, is under investigation.
Trump confirmed the arrest on Fox News.
