What do you expect? Their parents are brainwashed members of the violent radical right MAGA cult.

In an interview with Fox News earlier this morning, Donald Trump said: “I hope he’s going to be found guilty – I would imagine – and I hope he gets the death penalty”.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox also said officials will “pursue the death penalty”.

They want the death penalty ? They don't seem to think it relevant to find if he is guilty first ?

She used the term "battle cry" too.

She's definitely dog whistling the violent mobs.

Dangerous stuff.

And Trump will do the same thing, you can bet on that.

No, they don't.

These guys are all for summary executions.

Such hypocrites too.

"You did a very bad thing by killing someone - that's totally unacceptable. So, we're going to ... um ... kill you".

Violence is the answer to everything for those on the right.

They don't want to stop violence - they want to perpetuate it.

It’s making me think of that fairly recent movie called “Civil War”….

This is exactly what Trump wants.

This will give him an excuse to increase the military presence on the streets and to suppress basic constitutional and human rights.

He'll be rubbing his tiny little hands together in glee today.

Back to Kirk's wife though, she seems every bit as bad as Kirk.

A brainwashed, ultra-conservative, religious extremist.

Scary stuff.

I really do feel for those poor kids.

'pursue' the death penalty.... meaning it will be on the table fair and square from Day One - unlike - say - a Charlie Kirk gathering where the expectation would be an attempt at reasoned debate...

The Long Drop will only apply WHEN this guy is found guilty...

Typical twisted right-wing "logic".

"Killing is bad - to show you how bad it is, we're going to kill".

Why is violence always the answer to everything for those on the right?

Maybe I’m getting cynical as I get older, but her speech looked staged, contrived and her emotions looked fake to me.

https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/trump-says-kirk-shooting...

From a female perspective, I see her as composed rather than contrived.
She’s still in shock and feelings can numb. One of the stages.
Having it all written in front of her to read helps to focus.
I recall when needing to get up to talk in front of everyone after each of my parents died, I took 4 Panadols to cope through it, helped to soften the grief so to do a better speech.

She has lost her husband and her childrens father that she loved dearly, people who are incapable of empathy (psychopaths) will take the opportunity add to her pain.

Well, I'm sure she loves his real estate portfolio and his money.

Charlie Kirk said himself that he believed empathy was fake.
