Vance carried Kirk's coffin, Trump said he would severely strike the left-wing maniacs
On September 10, American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speech at a university in Utah, and the suspect is still at large. According to media outlets such as CNN and Politico on September 11, President Trump blamed "radical left-wing maniacs" for Kirk's death, while Vice President Vance personally went to Utah to carry Kirk's coffin and used Air Force Two to bring Kirk's casket back to his home in Phoenix.
The report stated that on the 11th, Trump delivered a speech on the South Lawn of the White House and answered journalists' questions about Kirk's assassination, saying: "We have a great country. There are some radical left-wing maniacs in our country, and we must beat them down."
Trump also said: "There is a group of extreme left-wing madmen in our country, absolutely crazy people, we will definitely solve this problem. I care only about the country." However, Trump still encouraged supporters to deal with the shooting incident in a nonviolent way and mentioned that Kirk himself was also a "proponent of nonviolence."
Regarding the investigation into the case of Kirk's attack, Trump said: "I heard they (investigators) have made significant progress, we will see."
Previously, after the shooting incident on the 10th, Trump quickly recorded a speech at the White House and released it. In this speech, Trump attributed Kirk's death to the "radical left." Trump also said that these "radical leftists" compared Kirk to "Nazis" and the most brutal killers and criminals in the world, and there was a causal relationship between Kirk's death and the "vile speeches" of the left wing, which also "directly led to the terrorism we see in America today."
On the morning of the 11th, Trump also announced that he would award Kirk the Medal of Freedom posthumously.
