“People don’t have any intention of saying something that’s going to lead to something dangerous, but we cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.”
— Nancy Pelosi, September 13, 2025
Absolving herself and her fellow Democrats of responsibility for inciting murderous hatred, Nancy Pelosi insinuated Friday that somehow Donald Trump himself is actually to blame for the murder of Charlie Kirk, saying that change needs to come “from the top” of the government. No matter what happens, the explanation is always: Orange Man Bad!
Jonathan Turley recites some recent history:
For years, Pelosi and other Democrats have blamed President Donald Trump and Republicans for their “inciteful rhetoric.” In seeking Trump’s impeachment, Pelosi bellowed that the use of “words such as a cry ‘to fight like hell’” produces violence and added, “words matter. Truth matters. Accountability matters.” . . .
When a mob destroyed statues, Pelosi brushed aside the criminal conduct and said, “People will do what they do.”
Pelosi’s latest pivot comes as Democratic leaders whip supporters into a frenzy over the impending death of democracy and the need to “fight back.”
Despite objections from many of us that the rhetoric was pushing supporters to violence, Democrats have continued to call for resistance to tyranny or oligarchy. . . .
Many are using the very words that Pelosi previously said were not just impeachable but criminal incitement. Democrats ratcheted up claims of a “coup” and called for Democrats to “fight in the streets.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) has called for people to take to the streets to save democracy and posted a picture brandishing a baseball bat.
Jeffries has also called for Democrats to fight “in the streets.”
Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Minnesota attorney general, once said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. . . .
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “I’m going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.” It follows other violent rhetoric from Democratic leaders.
Much of this Trump Derangement Syndrome behavior can be traced to the simple problem of Democrats actually believing their own campaign rhetoric. If you go back to 2016, what was Hillary Clinton’s campaign platform? What signature policy did she offer voters? In other words, what was she asking them to vote for? You can’t answer that, except with vague phrases about being on “the right side of history” and electing The First Woman President. As a policy vehicle, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hollow, with no real selling-point. Instead, Team Clinton offered an entirely negative message about Donald Trump being a Putin puppet and an Existential Threat to Our Democracy. Nine years later, Democrats still have no other message and, living inside that echo chamber of negativity, they’re trapped in a doom-loop, a labyrinth of their own construction.
OPINION | If Kirk was a victim of a pernicious culture of violence in America, it also must be acknowledged he was an author of that culture.https://t.co/n95wYGXNaT

Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.https://t.co/Qv5TsM8AXy

This is their message: Charlie Kirk deserved to die, because all Trump supporters deserve to die. Democrats have nothing else to say, so they’ll just keep yelling “fascist,” knowing full well the likely consequences of their rhetoric. Democrats are now the Murder Party.
