Vice President JD Vance on Monday insisted that the right could not pursue unity and rapprochement with the multitude of people who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

“Something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe, a minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far-left," Vance said Monday while hosting the "Charlie Kirk Show." "There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents' politics. There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder."

"There is no unity with people who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination," he added. "And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot to the neck, because he spoke words with which they disagreed."

Kirk was killed Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University. He sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the neck and died at the hospital shortly after. Posts celebrating his death garnered hundreds of thousands of likes while tens of thousands posted their own celebrations. Charlie's supporters, meanwhile, held prayer vigils across the nation.
