Interview with Nancy Mace

Mace: “I'm gonna say this. Democrats own what happened today. I am devastated. My kids have called panicking. Every conversative around the country has called panicking. Just because you speak your mind on the issues doesn't mean you get shot.”

Reporter: “By that logic doesn't the Republican Party own the shooting of two Democratic representatives in Minnesota?

Mace: “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You don't know what condition Charlie Kirk is in right now. Some raging leftist lunatic put a bullet through his neck and you want to talk about Republicans right now? NO. No not at all. No. Democrats own this. Democrats own this. We're talking about Charlie Kirk right now. That's the subject of this that we're talking about right now. Democrats own this. 100%.

Commentary Jesse Waters, Fox

“This hits differently because Charlie was one of us. And Trump gets hit in the ear. Charlie gets shot dead. They came after Kavanaugh with a rifle to his neighborhood. They went after Musk's cars. They just shot 2 Jews outside the embassy. Think about it. Scalise got shot. Barely survived. …

They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not. They are at war with us. What are we going to do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate? And that's the question we're just going to have to ask ourselves. Charlie would love us to put as much pressure on these people as possible.

Dana nailed it. This is unacceptable and has to stop. And it has to stop now. And everybody's accountable. And we're watching what they're saying on television and who's saying what--the politicians, the media …. This can never happen again. It ends now. This is a turning point. And we know which direction we're going.
