Obama warns of Trump team’s ‘extremist views’

President Barack Obama attended the 17th World Summit of Jefferson Educational Society in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, where he was requested About the right -wing activist The murder of Charlie Kirk Last week.

Attack the Trump administration answer to the murder of Kirk – who was known to promote racist,, transphobeAnd misogynist opinions – Obama highlighted the differences struck between the Trump administration and his own staff.

“I would say that these extreme views were not to my white house. I did not kiss them. I did not empower them. I did not put the weight of the United States government behind extremist views,” he said. “When we have the weight of the American government behind extremist views, we have a problem.”

Although Obama admitted that he did not know Kirk personally, he said he was “generally aware of some of his ideas”.

“I think these ideas were false, but that does not deny the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I cry for him and his family,” he said. “It is a young man with two small children and a woman who – and a large number of friends and supporters – who cared about him, and we must therefore exercise grace to people during their period of mourning and shock.”

He continued to shed light on the nuance of the situation – that Kirk was a bad person and that he should not have been murdered.

“We can also, at the same time, say that I do not agree with the idea that the civil rights law of 1964 was a mistake,” continued Obama. “It’s not me to politicize the problem is to make an observation on who are we as a country. I can say that I disagree with the suggestion that my wife or my justice [Ketanji Brown] Jackson has no power to treat adequate brain, “he said, referring to a comment Made by Kirk in 2023.

Under the attack of authoritarian impulses of the right, democratic legislators worked To reintroduce rationality and common sense in public discourse around political violence and the border between rhetoric and politics.

At the same time, the law has not only sought to vilify any political dissentWhile too whitening Kirk’s heritage to create a more pleasant martyr for their political ambitions.
