Host Sara Sidner requested Jennings how he squares this with the rhetoric that adopted the Charlie Kirk assassination earlier this 12 months, with Trump and fellow Republicans blasting these celebrating Kirk’s demise.
“I don’t,” Jennings mentioned, per The Daily Beast. “I disagree with the assertion. I want he hadn‘t made it.”

“The correct answer here, and the advice I would have given, is just put it in your pocket,” he continued. “You‘re allowed to harbor opinions and feelings about people, but in this particular case, someone was tragically murdered.”
He went on to say that “thousands and thousands of liberals celebrated” the murder of Kirk. “They shouldn’t have carried out that both,” he acknowledged, “and so, you know, in this particular case, putting it in your pocket would have been the right thing to do.”
