The Trump administration is calling out Democrats—who haven’t been content to insult, lie about, or wage lawfare against their political opponents—saying they now have blood on their hands and have gotten a number of people killed.
Charlie Kirk’s close, personal friend Vice President J.D. Vance is pulling no punches after a left-wing extremist assassinated Kirk during a college lecture in Utah, pinning the ultimate blame with Democratic politicians’ over-the-top slurs of conservatives—and the legacy media’s decision to amplify every word that falls from the Democrats’ mouths.
Democrats calling their opponents fascists, Nazis, and Gestapo agents “have gotten somebody killed, namely my friend Charlie Kirk and a number of other folks, as well,”Vance told Fox News host Laura Ingraham last Thursday.
“Look in the mirror and stop this craziness, or you’re gonna get somebody killed,” Vance asked Democrats on The Ingraham Angle. Then he corrected himself: “In fact, I think a lot of them already have gotten somebody killed, namely, my friend Charlie Kirk and a number of other folks.
“It’s not just the Democrats,” he warned—and it’s not just Kirk.
“The media is participating in this,” said Vance.
“The Democrats and the media — because they so hate the idea of a real border — are engaging in a kind of blood libel against ICE agents. They’re accusing them of engaging in crimes, they’re accusing them of being part of the Gestapo. They’re actually inciting violence against our law enforcement,” Vance warned.
He spoke just one day after a fatal attack on an ICE facility in Dallas by 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who reportedly wrote “ANTI-ICE” on some of his unspent bullets.

Democratic politicians from Gov. Tim Walz to Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasi0-Cortez have accused ICE agents of “kidnapping” people,” “disappearing” American citizens, and worse—and it’s leading to violence, Vance said.
“They know exactly what they’re doing, and now it’s time to stop,” Vance told Ingraham.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped. It has intensified.
Last Wednesday’s attack was the recent in a long string of violence against ICE agents and others protecting the border.
On Friday, September 19, radical left-wingers surrounded the Broadview Processing Center in Broadview, Illinois, where rioters assaulted law enforcement, threw tear gas cans, slashed tires of cars, blocked the entrance of the building, and trespassed on private property. Police under JB Pritzker’s sanctuary jurisdiction refused to answer multiple calls for assistance,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. “Disturbingly, in recent days, two ICE officers’ have had cars used as weapons against them.”
“Our ICE enforcement officers are facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them,” DHS reported.
But even after anti-ICE rhetoric turned violent yet again, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker verbally assaulted the law enforcement officers. “The aggression (is) coming from ICE.,” he insisted “That’s where it’s coming from—not from the protesters.”

On August 26, 36-year-old Bratton Dean Wilkinson said he left a bomb inside the Dallas ICE office.
On July 7, 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda injured three Border Patrol agents while firing off dozens of shots at the Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas.
On Independence Day, the Fourth of July, left-wing radicals wearing black clothes and military fatigues carried out a “planned ambush,” launching explosive fireworks at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.
Vance has tried to save the Democratic Party from the moral—and legal—ramifications of its incitement to violence for some time.
Vance, a front-runner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, has called for the radical Left to tone down phony charges that conservatives are fascists, neo-Nazis, or guilty of “systemic violence.”
And he pushed back against Democrats saying that “both sides” need to regulate themselves.
Charlie Kirk’s shooter, Tyler Robinson, “was radicalized by the far-Left by the social networks of the far-Left by the ideas of the far-Left. and got so far down the path of radicalization that he killed my friend. That is not a ‘both sides’’problem,” Vance told Jesse Watters.
🚨 WOW! JD Vance just CALLED IT LIKE IT IS: “This is a person [who] was radicalized by the far LEFT and got so far down the path of radicalization that he killed my friend [Charlie Kirk]! That is not a 'BOTH SIDES' problem.” pic.twitter.com/H1biO4uHEB

“My friend is dead because of left-wing political radicalization. And if you want to cut that s**t out, then be honest about it.”
At least one man in politics is being honest about it—and the Democrats have nowhere left to hide.
