Greene added that she believed that Kirk was “killed for the words he said and the things he defended”.

When he was asked if he was concerned about the security of other political figures and members of the congress, Swalwell said: “We do not have enough resources to protect people who are threatened here. But I don’t want to get there right now. It’s just, it’s horrible.

“It has no room in our policy, and we cannot normalize political violence.”

Representative Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., Blamed Kirk’s death in the media and democrats whom he accused of having “fueled political violence”.

“Each member of this party who publishes politically violent statements, and so many, should be censored, and they should be withdrawn from each of their committees or more people will die,” said Orden.

“It shouldn’t happen. This is not the case,” he added. “But that happened because of violent political rhetoric leaving the left which is amplified by you in the press. You are partially responsible for this. For the two assassination attempts for President Trump and for Charlie Kirk to be shot.”

So, until these people stop doing it, and until you stop trying to lead neighborhoods between the Republicans and the Democrats and the American Americans, it will happen again and again,” he said.

“So each of you needs to go home tonight and make a deep intruder.
