‘YOU Caused This’: Barack Obama Faces Fury For His Reaction To Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

A brouhaha on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives over the death of Charlie Kirk was just the beginning of partisan bickering between Republicans and Democrats over culpability for the latest mass shooting to grip the nation.

Now, former President Barack Obama is being targeted after claiming on Wednesday that he “doesn’t know” what motivated Kirk’s killer.

“We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy,” Obama wrote in a post on X.

Outkick founder Clay Travis, appearing on Fox News, had harsh words for the Democrat, whom he accused of emboldening deranged, violent individuals who have heard endlessly over the past decade that President Donald Trump and his supporters are Nazis and fascists undermining the fabric of American democracy.

“You can’t call the president of the United States Adolf Hitler for 10 years, and you can’t say that he’s a fascist dictator,” Travis angrily responded to news of Obama’s note.

“You cannot say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him like you, me, Riley, and Charlie Kirk are Nazis, and then when someone tries to kill us, suddenly say, ‘Oh, we condemn this violence.’ You caused it!” he screamed, pointing straight ahead.

Back in 2016, Obama privately referred to Trump a a “fascist” during a phone call with Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate, NBC News previously reported. At an event with Kaine, Clinton said she “echoed” Obama’s sentiment that they must do everything they can to “keep a fascist out of the White House.”

“Look at me right now! You caused this! When you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people: Go kill them. And I am sick of pretending that is anything other than what they are doing,” Travis said.

The conservative critic pointed to the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old would-be assassin who told authorities he tried to kill Trump in West Palm Beach because he equated him with Hitler.

“This is what they do. This left-wing violence, it’s out of control, and Charlie Kirk bore the brunt of that left-wing violence,” he added.

Other Democratic politicians, like U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), recoiled in disgust when asked on Wednesday whether her party’s rhetoric played a role in Kirk’s murder.

“Oh, please,” she exclaimed outside the Capitol. “Why don’t you start with the President of the United States?”
