Digital Desk, Washington. Politics in America is heating up after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Questions are constantly being raised about the Trump administration, and Kash Patel is facing Congress. Former President Barack Obama has responded. He said that the United States is at a "turning point" after Charlie Kirk's murder, and that instead of uniting people, President Donald Trump has further divided the country.
Trump was speaking at an event
According to the Associated Press, during an event in Erie, Pennsylvania, organized by the Jefferson Education Society on Tuesday night, Obama said, "There's no doubt about it: The central premise of our democratic system is that we should be able to disagree and have truly contentious debates without sometimes resorting to violence."
People like Trump are a threat to us
He said, without naming Trump, that he poses a threat to all of us. Obama has kept his activism somewhat subdued since becoming president. Responding to questions from a moderator on Tuesday, he addressed Trump's rhetoric and other administrative actions following Kirk's murder.
Obama reminded
Obama, a Democrat, spoke about his leadership after the 2015 killing of nine Black parishioners at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and also about the actions of then-Republican President George W. Bush after the September 11 terrorist attacks. He said he sees the president's role in times of crisis as "constantly reminding us of the ties that bind us together."
Obama said that Trump and his allies' tendency to call political opponents "vermin, enemies..." after Kirk's murder points to a broader problem.
White House statement
The White House, in support of Trump, responded to Obama's remarks on Wednesday, blaming him for the hostility in the country and calling him the architect of America's modern political divide.
