President Donald Trump and his allies are threatening to prosecute liberals and left-wing groups in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
But who, exactly? And for what? The specifics are hard to come by. In a CNN appearance Tuesday night, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration would go after “organized groups raising money with the intent to organize individuals to commit acts of violence.” When Kaitlan Collins asked him which groups he was referring to, Blanche said: “I’m not going to name groups here, that wouldn’t be fair to them.”
On X, Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales said the “radical left” killed Kirk. “Just look at the facts on some of the attacks that occurred, and where they’ve occurred, and who they’ve occurred from,” Gonzales told NOTUS. “We should not be having organizations that fuel that in any form or fashion.” Like who? “I can name a lot of them, yeah, but I’m not going to,” Gonzales said. “Because I don’t want to.” “Stay tuned,” he added. “It’s bigger than me.”
