Trump says he wants national healing -- while blaming the 'radical left' as a barrier [View all]

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he hopes the nation will heal following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, though he suggested in an exclusive interview Saturday with NBC News that a “radical left” contingent in the country stands as a barrier to reconciliation.

“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said in a brief telephone interview. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”

The suspect arrested in Kirk’s murder is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah. He is alleged to have shot the conservative activist during a speaking event Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Public records show that Robinson’s last voter registration date was July 13, 2021, with no political party declared.

Officials said Robinson had only recently shown interest in politics. A relative recalled him criticizing Kirk during a dinner ahead of the Utah Valley University event.

It's because the Whitehouse is occupied by an idiot who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
