U.S. Vice-President JD Vance hosted The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday and claimed “left-wing extremism” was “part of the reason” Charlie Kirk was shot and killed last week while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

During his opening monologue on the livestream, Vance said, “We have to make sure that the killer is brought to justice.”

“And importantly, we have to talk about this incredibly destructive moment of left-wing extremism that has grown up over the last few years and, I believe, is part of the reason why Charlie was killed by an assassin’s bullet.”

Vance, hosting from his ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House, encouraged listeners to respond to social media posts that mock Kirk or celebrate his death online.
