'Find each and every one': Trump pledges crackdown on 'radical left political violence'

In a video address to the nation posted to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump pledged a massive crackdown on "radical left political violence" in the wake of the killing of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials and everyone else who brings order to our country," said Trump, who has so far not addressed the pattern of MAGA activists threatening federal judges".

"Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives," he added.
