Greene Calls for "National Divorce" After Kirk Assassination

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman, has proposed a "national divorce" between conservatives and those on the left, citing the current state of division in the U.S. as the reason. She stated her desire for a peaceful separation, claiming that communication with the left is no longer possible.

This call for division followed the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The killing has generated strong reactions across the political spectrum. While politicians from both sides have condemned the violence, the event has also led to repercussions for individuals who celebrated Kirk's death, with some losing their jobs.

Greene's statement on social media expressed her belief that the left harbors hatred and celebrated Kirk's death. She emphasized her desire for a peaceful separation, citing the country's deep divisions and lack of safety as the driving factors.

Echoing Greene's sentiments, others within the political sphere, including Vice President JD Vance, have attributed blame for Kirk's death to "left-wing extremism." Police investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the killing, with the suspect, Tyler Robinson, reportedly not affiliated with any specific political party.

Vance, during an episode of Kirk's podcast, asserted that data indicates a greater likelihood of those on the left defending and celebrating political violence. However, this claim has been disputed, with various analyses suggesting that right-wing extremists have been responsible for more deaths.

In her post, Greene also expressed skepticism about Republicans' ability to combat perceived "evil" and urged people to turn to their faith and protect their families.
