White House Presses Rep. Jasmine Crockett After She Defends 'Wannabe Hitler' Rhetoric in Kirk Killing Debate

Law enforcement reported anti-fascist inscriptions on shell casings, with the motive still under investigation.

Overview

  • On The Breakfast Club, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said calling President Donald Trump a 'wannabe Hitler' does not equate to urging violence and accused Trump of fostering a 'culture of violence.'
  • She asserted that the vast majority of mass shootings are linked to white-supremacist ideology and said such attacks are not primarily committed by Black people or immigrants.
  • White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called on Crockett to clarify her remarks, saying they sounded like a justification of political violence.
  • Fox News reported law enforcement findings that shell casings at the scene of Charlie Kirk’s killing bore anti-fascist messages, while authorities continue probing the shooter’s motive.
  • Republicans argued that repeated comparisons of Trump to Hitler encourage violence, as partisan media offered sharply different interpretations of Crockett’s interview.
