In an interview with NBC News, Trump talked about the Charlie Kirk assassination, criticized “a radical left group of lunatics” and called for Democratic donor George Soros to be jailed.

Donald Trump said he hopes the nation will heal following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, though he suggested in an exclusive interview Saturday with NBC News that a “radical left” contingent in the country stands as a barrier to reconciliation.

“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said in a brief telephone interview. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”

The suspect arrested in Kirk’s murder is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah. He is alleged to have shot the conservative activist during a speaking event Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Public records show that Robinson’s last voter registration date was July 13, 2021, with no political party declared.

    So, basically all of conservatism. Taco has his brand on the place, but they’ve been this awful for a long, long time. They just had a “respectable” mask that they kept on.

    I don’t see them going back to that. They will have to be kept out of office for years if we are to get back to normalcy.
