WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Vice President JD Vance and another top official in President Donald Trump's administration on Monday argued that serving the memory of Charlie Kirk means pursuing left-leaning groups they portray as bent on undermining national unity.

Vance, who guest-hosted the slain conservative activist's livestream show, amplified right-wing calls for a broadside against leftist groups after Kirk was assassinated last week as he addressed college students.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Vance's guest on the program, said Kirk's final message to him called for a coordinated effort against unnamed left-wing groups accused of promoting violence, pledging the federal government would use "every available resource" to dismantle them.

"With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people," he said. "It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name."

1. Where are these leftist groups?

Where's their contact information, headquarters, newsletters, websites, podcasts...anything?

[newdeal2]

2. This site could be one

They will abuse their power to crush their enemies. They want to be in power permanently.

8. Easy to take the site name literally.

And weren't there threats to ActBlue at one point?

3. Who incited political violence?

Laura Loomer, President tRump's alleged mistress had said Kirk was a traitor to MAGA. Fuentes called him an enemy. The hateful rhetoric that incited the political violence was from right-wing.

6. Since when did the truth ever matter to these people?

4. Seriously!????

How convenient!

"Kirk's final message to him called for a coordinated effort against unnamed left-wing groups accused of promoting violence..."

But of course their cult members will fall for the line.

5. What do they even classify as a "leftist group"?

If a group's not clearly violating the law, then going after it is clearly unconstitutional. Is the Constitution even operative anymore?

Are they going to shut down DU?

7. Anyone they disagree with including their own

9. *CAN'T* be, because KRASNOV/MAGAts are such unifiers!1 - ("sarcasm" really needed? )

10. I'm not familiar with left leaning groups inciting violence

Name me one group on the left that foments violence against their perceived enemies?


I definitely haven’t heard or seen any.

They are the violent ones they always have been, even when I was growing up there were the haters on the right who hated the “hippies” and their way of life. Made them mucho mad and angry and the right wingers were more than willing to stoke that hostility to the younger generations. Nixon and Reagan played a pivotal role in shaping our country to what it is today.

They had help along the way to recruit their massive army of stupid and gullible idiots who are extremely easy to manipulate. We are witnessing the results of generations of political extremism from the republicans.

11. See reply #6, above. nt

12. How about the groups that the shooter came from ?

Shut down the school he went to. Shut down the religion he came from.

How about the family he came from ?
