President Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends on September 12, 2025, two days after right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk‘s assassination in Utah. And rather than take the opportunity to deliver a message of unity to an ideologically divided country, Trump blamed the “radical left” more so than the “radical right” for the country’s problems.
Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt left the door open for the president to cross party lines when she asked, “What do we do about our country? We have radicals on the right and left. People are watching videos and cheering; some people are cheering that Charlie was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?”
