- Republicans including Reps. Don Bacon, Thomas Massie, Mike Lawler, Stephanie Bice, and Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the president’s comments as wrong, disrespectful, or inappropriate.
- Conservative media figures and commentators such as Jenna Ellis, Piers Morgan, Meghan McCain, and Riley Gaines also rebuked the remarks and urged deletion of the post.
- CNN’s Brian Stelter and Jake Tapper joined broader media condemnation, highlighting the contrast with the administration’s response to criticism following Charlie Kirk’s death.
