US EditionRepublicans call for committee to investigate ‘radical left’ in wake of Kirk assassination
Twenty-three House Republicans demand a select committee with subpoena power to investigate alleged 'radical left' networks behind violence targeting conservatives, citing past attacks including on President Trump.
- On Wednesday, Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University and died hours later; authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson after a 33-hour manhunt, prompting 22 House Republicans led by Rep. Chip Roy to demand a select committee to investigate the 'radical left'.
- Rep. Chip Roy led a letter urging a committee to 'follow the money' behind the radical left, targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center , George Soros, and Antifa for scrutiny.
- Data cited show 3,599 politically motivated deaths since 1975, with 76% attributed to right-wing extremists, prompting conservative students at Boston University to call for increased security.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul urged dialing down rhetoric and said she will convene bipartisan leaders next week for a security briefing, while Rep. Elise Stefanik pressed for investigations into teachers' conduct.
- Critics noted House Republicans' baseless focus on the 'radical left' ignores data showing 76% of politically motivated killings involve right-wing extremists, per Cato Institute's Alex Nowrasteh.
