While many questions surrounding the assassination of conservative thought leader Charlie Kirk in Utah last week remain, there's no question who to blame for the horrific murder, according to U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn).
"There's no doubt whose fault it is. It's the fault of the left because they have preached this hate against Americans across this country, that believed in the Constitution and the things that this country was built on," Tuberville said Monday on Newsmax's "American Agenda."
Tuberville said the rhetoric from Democrats over the last several years demonizing their political opponents led to Kirk's death, with some leftists now trying to shift blame to Republicans by claiming the assassin, Tyler Robinson, was right-wing.
"Charlie was trying to bring the good out in people. And somebody took his life because he [the killer] was, I don't know whether he was mad, whether he was just indoctrinated," Tuberville said. "But at the end of the day, let's quit blaming this on the Republican right. This is definitely on the hands of the left, because I've been here five years in the Senate. I've been here five years in the Senate. And let me tell you something, they have preached nothing but hate, nothing but violence. And we have got to stop this rhetoric. The Democrats do, and we've got to stand up for our country. And that's what you're seeing the Americans do right now."
