Former President Barack Obama The death of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk is “terror and tragedy” while also shooting at the president Donald Trump The country sows allegations of political division as the country faces an unprecedented “political crisis”.
“No matter where you are in the political arena, everything that happens to Charlie Kirk is horror and tragedy,” Obama said Tuesday night at the Jefferson Education Association’s 17th annual global summit in Erie, Pennsylvania.
“Obviously I don’t know Charlie Kirk,” Obama said. “I usually know some of his thoughts. I think these thoughts are wrong, but that doesn’t deny that what happened is a tragedy, and I mourn him and his family.”
Obama said Tuesday that the country faces “Political Crisis About the kind we have never seen before,” Trump was not mentioned in his speech.

Kirk, 31, was killed after suffering a gunshot wound on his neck during a September 10 return tour at the Utah University in Utah. The shooting suspect Tyler Robinson was charged Monday with aggravated murder, among other charges.
The assassination once came a year after two attempts to take the president’s life.
Although Obama admits that extremists exist at both ends of the political divide, he is out of reach from the left-wing ideological government.
“Those extreme views are not in my White House,” Obama claimed. “I didn’t empower them. I didn’t put the weight of the U.S. government behind them. When we put the weight of the U.S. government behind it, we had problems.”

Additionally, Obama said the current White House attempted to “silence” discussions after Kirk’s death, a comment Trump and administration officials vowed to take action to act against those who cheered Kirk’s death on social media and to create “radical responsibility” for recent political violence.
“When I not only hear the aides of our current president, they have a history of pests calling for political opponents, ‘need to be’ with targeted enemies, which shows the broader problem we are facing right now, and we will have to work hard – all of us – all of us -” Obama said.
In response, the White House said Obama was the “architect” who established a political department in the United States.

“Barack Hussein Obama is the architect of modern American political scientists – famously devalued millions of patriotic Americans who opposed his liberal agenda for “troublesome.” “Obama took every opportunity to sow division and bring Americans against each other and follow his presidency, and more Americans think Obama split the country rather than he thinks he united.” ”
“His department has inspired generations of Democrats to slander opponents as ‘tragic’ or ‘fascists’ or ‘Nazi’,” Jackson said. “If he cared about solidarity in the United States, he would tell his party to stop their destructive behavior.”
Obama previously imposed trade-offs after the shooting, expressing condolences to Kirk’s family.
“We don’t know yet what motives drive the people who shot Charlie Kirk, but this mean violence has no place in our democracy,” Obama said in post X on September 10.
