In an interview with Katie Couric, Senator John Fetterman refused to back down when pressed about whether Charlie Kirk should have been condemned for his rhetoric. Couric asked Fetterman if he believed the body of Charlie Kirk should have been flown on Air Force Two, to which Fetterman responded that it was [Trump’s/Vance’s] choice. He also addressed concerns about hindsight regarding some of Kirk’s statements, stating that debate would never justify what happened. Fetterman emphasized that he chose not to argue his views after children lost their father in the most violent public way. Couric suggested that some people might consider Kirk’s rhetoric extreme, noting that his words could lead to violence, to which Fetterman replied that they likely didn’t agree with much of what he said but both agreed that you shouldn’t execute them in public.
