‘You Caused This!’ Clay Travis Blames Liberals’ ‘Nazi’ Rhetoric for Kirk Assassination

 

Outkick host Clay Travis unloaded on high-ranking Democrats and liberal media, blaming them for “lighting fires” of political violence by repeatedly calling MAGA supporters “Nazis” in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Travis appeared on Fox News following Kirk’s murder at a campus speaking event in Utah on Wednesday, which prompted an outpouring of bipartisan condemnation.

Speaking to host Sean Hannity, Travis slammed statements released by former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as hollow, arguing that Democrats had spent “10 years” calling President Donald TrumpAdolf Hitler” and branding people like Kirk as “Nazis”:

Let me hammer something home here. I am sick and I am tired of hearing people say, like Barack Obama did, like Hillary Clinton did: ‘oh, we condemn this violence.’ Guess what? You can’t call the president of the United States for 10 years Adolf Hitler and you can’t say that he is a fascist dictator and you cannot say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him – like you, me, Riley and Charlie Kirk – are Nazis and then when someone tries to kill us, you cannot suddenly say we condemn this violence. You caused it!

Calling out those watching, he continued:

Look at me right now! You caused this! When you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people, ‘go kill them.’ And I’m sick of pretending that is anything other than what they are doing. That guy in West Palm Beach, what did he say? He was killing Trump because he believed Trump was Hitler. This is what they do, all right? This left-wing violence is out of control. And Charlie Kirk bore the brunt of that left-wing violence. And guess what? But for the twist of his head at the last minute, Donald Trump’s head would have been blown off on live television.

And that is intentional. They are lighting fires and then claiming: ‘Oh, what do you know, there is a fire there!’ They’re doing it on purpose.

Travis turned his rage on MSNBC, who just hours earlier fired senior political analyst Matthew Dowd, who appeared to blame Kirk’s views for his own assassination moments after the activist had been shot:

MSNBC! Sean, you watched this. They were live on the air saying, one of their guys said, they put out a PR statement, he said well Charlie Kirk was basically riddled with hate and when you put hate out into the world, this kind of thing happens.

He continued, paraphrasing:

‘Oh tough break, you get shot and killed even though you were completely innocent and all you were doing is making arguments for the betterment of the country. Tough break for your young daughter. Tough break for your son, for your lovely wife that will never get the opportunity to see you grow old with them.’

I am so angry. And I understand everybody out there says we have to keep down on the anger, I’m not willing to do that right now because I get angrier the more I think about this Sean, they put the wheels of motion and order.
