JD Vance Hints At Crackdown On Mainstream Liberals While Hosting Charlie Kirk's Podcast

Vice President JD Vance hosts an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show at the White House, following the assassination of the show's namesake, Monday, Sept., 15, 2025, in Washington. Vice President JD Vance ramped up the divisive rhetoric following the killing of Charlie Kirk as he hosted the late conservative activist’s radio show and podcast.Vance took charge of The Charlie Kirk Show from the White House on Monday, with administration officials who knew Kirk featuring in a two-hour broadcast that made repeated calls for retribution.Among the guests were White House adviser Stephen Miller, who vowed to channel “righteous anger” to go after “left-wing organisations” in the aftermath of Kirk’s death.The vice president continued in a similar vein during his outgoing monologue as he made claims about left-wing violence and implied, without evidence, that Kirk’s killer was motivated by far-left ideology.In a sign that the Trump administration is preparing for a crackdown on liberal and leftist groups, Vance said unity in America would only emerge “when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.”Among many pointed remarks, Vance falselyclaimed it was a fact that “people on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence.” “This is not a both-sides problem. If both sides have a problem, one side has a much bigger and malignant problem, and that is the truth,” he said.He went on to argue that “while our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.”Vance also attacked The Nation, a progressive magazine, and accused it of misquoting Kirk.He blasted the “well-funded, well-respected magazine whose publishing history goes back to the American Civil War. George Soros’ Open Society [Foundations] funds this magazine, as does the Ford Foundation and many other wealthy titans of the American progressive movement.”“Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight, and well-funded institutions of the left lied about what he said so as to justify his murder,” Vance claimed.Vance noted the Ford Foundation and the nonprofit run by Soros, a Democratic mega-donor, receive “generous tax treatment,” suggesting they could be targeted in any crackdown.Bhaskar Sunkara, president of The Nation, made clear the magazine is “not funded, not one dime, by Soros or Open Society Foundation.” In his broadcast, Vance also asked his followers to identify anyone rejoicing in Kirk’s death to get them fired from their jobs.“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out, and hell, call their employer,” he said. “We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility.”Earlier in the show, Trump aide Miller promised to “use every resource we have” to “identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy” left-wing networks and “make America safe again for the American people.”“It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name,” he added.Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left." pic.twitter.com/EmNTQ9o0nD— The Bulwark (@BulwarkOnline) September 15, 2025Related...Trump’s Alleged Birthday Message To Epstein Just Got Released — And It Sure Is Embarrassing For JD VanceJD Vance Doesn't 'Give A S**t' If People Call Venezuelan Boat Strike A War CrimeJD Vance Lobs Strange Attack After Trump Death Rumours
