In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Republicans on Sunday criticized some Democrats, suggesting language used by them contributed to Kirk's killing, claims that Democrats rejected.
**SNIP**
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized Trump's threats that his administration would go after the "radical left" that he blamed for political violence.
"I want to be really clear about this. This is an example of something that is hurting," Buttigieg said. "We are not getting the leadership that we need to bring this country together from the White House."
"The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down on individuals or groups not because of violence, but because they challenge the government politically," he said. "We need to have free and open political debate and a healthy political process in this country."
Lawmakers did agree on the need for social media companies to do a better job regulating content circulating online -- specifically for children -- and criticized the ways in which videos of Kirk's killing were widespread.
"The ways in which folks are then taking the horrific images of these incidents and propagating them on the internet adds fuel to the fire we can and should pass bills," Coons said on CBS, advocating for Congress to pass the Kids Online Safety Act.
Lankford said social media algorithms push people to the extreme.
"The algorithm in social media is always pushing who is the angriest, who is the loudest, who says the craziest thing. That's what gets repeated over and over and over again," he said.
Cox blamed social media for helping to put the country into the "dark place" it's in and suggested a way out of it.

Those attending include House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.) and Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.). Arizona state Sen. Jake Hoffman (R) organized the event.
RATS still have poor optics.
Duh…RATS are the party of Satan. And Satan’s primary tactic is so deceive people into thinking he doesn’t exist.
Charlie Kirk was healthy until a round in his neck killed him.
The killer used the same language as Democrats calling Charlie a "fascist". Democrats call Trump and his supporters Hitler and fascists.
Anderson Cooper and Kamala Harris both used the word fascist. It's the word THEY use to dehumanize their opposition.
as if the Democrats would ever not reject the claim, no matter how much evidence supported it
I don't think there's any moderates left in the party except maybe for John Fetterman?
I said we all need to see the uncensored, graphic videos of the Iryna Zarutska murder on the train and Charlie Kirk's murder. NOT the censored ones that distance the observer. The victims cannot distance themselves and neither should the people who promote tolerance and forgiveness, thus enabling further killers to find new victims. Show the carnage. We've all seen John Wick and Denzel Washington's Equalizer films. No need to give us the children's TV versions.
Remember the leftist demanded and got total suppression of the video of planes hitting the World Trade Center and people jumping out to hit the sidewalks to die. Not one video of those has been shown outside of a CSPAN retrospective, one on the History Channel and a little on Fox News. Children grew up to voting age not seeing it.
They murder us, celebrate it, and call for more…and we aren’t supposed to notice/complain about it? F that $hit.
I’m pretty sure Charles Manson pleaded not guilty at his araignment too
Could have fooled me, I mean all the commies online having orgasms over Charlie’s death and wanting MORE bloodshed don’t vote Republican
.
Agreed. So much violence seems to come from the people yelling “tolerance!!!!!”
Your right, but just once I’d like to see them own their evil.
But then pigs don’t fly.
Vampires don’t like mirrors.
In before anyone starts calling for banning “social media”... Technically and legally on laws codified the FR is “Social Media” also. So we have to be careful what we ask for... If they pass laws against “social Media” the FR will be included.
Ok Dems then who did it, lets play clue. Let me guess, Putin. Because Trump told him to or some other bs 43 ex intelligence officials and Hillary say so. Wtf
Society is rather obviously breaking down completely from this technology. There are anti-social people and nations reveling in it.
I am not at all sure that free people can remain in its presence.
This is the primary reason Government promotes it.
I don’t blame the radical Left- I blame the ENTIRE Left. They are ALL complicit, either directly or indirectly.
People just need to be aware that laws passed against it will not be selective, they will be one size fits all. No site where users can communicate with each other will be immune or exempt.
social media
: forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)
