\n

A majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans agree that “extremist political rhetoric<\/a>” contributed to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a new poll.<\/p>\n

The survey from NBC News found that 54% of Democrats agree that extreme rhetoric from “some in the media and by political leaders” was a major factor in Kirk’s killing. An overwhelming majority of Republicans, 73%, expressed the same sentiment, while 53% of Independents agreed.<\/p>\n

Across all respondents, 61% of Americans said they believe rhetoric contributed to Kirk’s death.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 28% said they believed Kirk’s killing was caused more by the lone actions of a disturbed individual than the broader political climate. Another 4% said it was a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

EXPERTS WARN LEFTIST CELEBRATIONS OF CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH SIGNAL A DANGEROUS MAINSTREAM SHIFT IN POLITICS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The poll marks the first time in 15 years of NBC News polling that majorities of all major American political groups agree that extreme rhetoric was a major factor in causing a violent incident.<\/p>\n

Polls going back to the 2011 shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., show a steady rise in Americans blaming political rhetoric for violence, rather than just a lone individual.<\/p>\n

In Giffords’ case, 71% of respondents blamed the lone attacker, while 24% blamed rhetoric. By the time of President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s second assassination attempt, however, 37% blamed the attacker and 54% blamed rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, faces a capital punishment trial in Utah. Members of his family say he became politically extreme and moved further and further to the left in the year leading up to Kirk’s assassination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robinson faces a slew of charges, including aggravated murder, which carries the potential the death penalty. He has not yet entered a plea.<\/p>\n

Judge Tony Graf<\/u><\/a>\u00a0granted a defense motion to allow Robinson to wear civilian clothes in court, citing his constitutional presumption of innocence, but denied a motion to allow him to appear without shackles.<\/p>\n

Robinson’s next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 16, 2026, when he is expected to make his first in-person appearance.<\/p>\n
