U.S. — Hours after the brutal assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Democrats rushed to forcefully condemn all the violence they incited.

Elected representatives on the Left urged the nation to turn down the temperature before all the hatred and violence they had been encouraging for the last several years got out of hand.

"I unequivocally condemn all violent attacks against evil Nazi transphobes who are an existential threat to democracy and who must be eliminated at all costs," said Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to reporters. "Charlie Kirk was an evil, violent fascist who loved genocide and wants trans kids to die, but that doesn't mean we should shoot him or anything."

Democratic leaders were unanimous in their condemnation of the violence.

"The political violence wrought by the psychopathic bloodlust we've whipped up among our followers has no place in this country," agreed representative Ilhan Omar. "We urge Democrats to refrain from attacking monsters like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, or any other subhuman bigoted waste of oxygen."

"Now is a time for healing and civility."

At publishing time, Democrats published a list of prominent conservative leaders they promised to condemn violence against if violence were ever committed against them.
