Political analysts and observers sharply criticized President Donald Trump's comments to reporters on Sunday evening.
Trump was asked whether his administration had begun revoking visas of foreign travelers who celebrated the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week. Trump said officials are"looking at names" and that Republicans wouldn't celebrate if a Democratic activist were killed.
"That's not right," Trump said. "We wouldn't celebrate if something happened like this, and we don't. These are sick people. These are really derranged people."
Commentators and observers replied to Trump's comments on social media.
"He's a disgrace," author John Pavlovitz posted on X.
"Trump mocked Paul Pelosi getting attacked," Democratic activist Harry Sisson posted on X. "He’s a total liar."
"Trump is absolutely delusional," political commentator and entrepreneur Ed Krassenstein posted on X. "He is gaslighting you. Tell Melissa Hortman’s family that there’s no hate or violence on the right. Tell Paul Pelosi that!"
"Does Trump think everyone forgot when he mocked Paul Pelosi being attacked?" Republicans Against Trump posted on X.
