President Donald Trump will be praised and feted by the British royal family this week during a rare state visit as his presidency enters a new phase following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk: “Dismantling” left-leaning organizations, creating new heartburn for Democrats.
Top White House officials on Monday spoke passionately about such groups without naming any, contending they have been radicalizing young people and promising to punish them criminally and by turning off the spigot of federal funding.
“Importantly, we have to talk about this incredibly destructive movement of left-wing extremism that has grown up over the last few years. And I believe it is part of the reason why Charlie was killed by an assassin’s bullet,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday as he guest-hosted Kirk’s popular podcast. “We’re going to talk about how to dismantle that and how to bring real unity.”
