ReutersTrump’s niece blames him inciting violence

After the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump’s niece, Mary L. Trump has publicly placed direct responsibility on her uncle for creating the violent political environment that led to Kirk’s death.Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent right-wing figure, was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. In a televised Oval Office address, President Trump called Kirk a “martyr” and accused the radical left of spreading the rhetoric “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.” Trump vowed to find those responsible and condemned the violence.Mary Trump’s critiqueContrasting sharply with the President, Mary Trump wrote in a post on her Substack The Good In Us that political violence in America stems overwhelmingly from the Republican Party, and particularly from Donald Trump himself.“Political violence and the rhetoric that drives it are almost entirely on the side of the Republican Party, and no person is more responsible for it than Donald Trump,” she asserted.Mary Trump accused her uncle of purposefully dividing the nation through Republican rhetoric and criticized his history of inciting violence. She cited the reckless pardon of approximately 1,600 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot as evidence of his ongoing role in enabling political violence.Live Events“He has incited violence against his perceived political enemies as well as against his own government and then pardoned those who committed it on his behalf,” she wrote.Moreover, she argued that the political right often fails to condemn acts of violence unless directed at themselves, sometimes even celebrating it. She pointed to instances such as the attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, during which President Trump made a joke mocking the incident.Mary was clear to condemn the killing of Charlie Kirk itself but maintained to point a finger at the President for creating a political environment that breeds such behaviour. The feud between Mary Trump and President Donald Trump is longstanding and deeply personal. Mary, a clinical psychologist and author, has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump for years. Their conflict traces back to disputes over family inheritance following the death of Mary’s father, Fred Trump Jr., Donald Trump’s older brother. Mary claimed that Donald and other family members defrauded her out of her inheritance.FAQsQ: What did President Trump say after Charlie Kirk’s assassination?
