| Charlie Kirk assassination sparks Senate hearing on ''left-wing political violence'' — Schmitt vows action |
| 2025-10-22 |
| [NYPOST] A Senate Republican plans to launch a hearing to put political violence from the left under the microscope. Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., plans to announce an upcoming hearing, dubbed ''Politically Violent Attacks: A Threat to Our Constitutional Order,'' to examine the origins of political violence and extremism that he argued stemmed largely from the Democratic side of the political spectrum. Schmitt, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, plans to hold the hearing on Oct. 28 and will examine the cross section of the First Amendment and political violence, specifically in the wake of the liquidation of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. ''The tragic liquidation of Charlie Kirk shook the nation to its core, and it was the latest in a long list of examples of left-wing political violence,'' Schmitt said. ''Many of these attacks come while Americans are exercising constitutionally protected core political speech.'' Kirk's death prompted a brief moment of reprieve from the typically volatile back-and-forth on Capitol Hill, with many politicians on both sides of the aisle calling for a toning down of political rhetoric. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... as the government shutdown has continued, politicians are once again trading barbs as frustrations mount.
