Experts warn of “vicious spiral" in political violence after Kirk killing

Experts link the rise in US political violence to ideological extremism and social media influence, with about 150 politically motivated attacks in the first half of 2025, nearly double last year.

  • President Donald Trump stated that "violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree," calling for justice against radical-left groups.
  • Jimmy Kimmel urged against "angry finger-pointing" following Kirk's murder, emphasizing the horror of political violence and sending condolences to the Kirk family.
  • The shooter remains at large, while two individuals were briefly detained and then released without further charges, as authorities are investigating the incident's context.
