Vice President JD Vance revealed polling data on Monday that showed a stark divide of how Americans view political violence.

Hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show” from the White House, Vance warned that the nation must face some hard truths if unity is ever to be restored.

Vance pointed to findings from a recent YouGov survey that reveal a sharp contrast between liberals and conservatives on the subject.

According to the poll, 24 percent of those identifying as “very liberal” said it was acceptable to feel joy at the death of a public figure they oppose.

In comparison, only three percent of “very conservative” respondents felt the same.

The numbers were slightly higher among other groups, with ten percent of liberals and four percent of conservatives agreeing with the idea.

The gap widened even further when participants were asked if political violence could be justified as a means to achieve political goals.

Among liberals aged 18 to 44, 26 percent said they believed there were circumstances where violence was warranted.

Only seven percent of conservatives in the same age range and 12 percent of moderates gave a similar response.

“In a country of 330 million people, you can of course find one person of a given political persuasion justifying this or that, or almost anything, but the data is clear, people on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence,” Vance said.

“This is not a both sides problem,” he added. “If both sides have a problem, one side has a much bigger and malignant problem, and that is the truth we must be told. That problem has terrible consequences.”

Vance said that it was a “statistical fact” that the majority of “lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left.”

The vice president referenced the assassination attempts against President Donald Trump and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, as well as last week’s shocking killing of Charlie Kirk.

Vance warned that the left is creating a climate where violence is more likely to occur.

“This violence, it doesn’t come from nowhere,” he explained. “Any political movement is a collection of forces. It’s like a pyramid, stacked one layer on top of another.”

Vance said the “foundation” of the pyramid consists of donors, activists, journalists, social media influencers, and politicians.

He pointed out that most members of the pyramid would never commit murder, but by celebrating it, excusing it, or lying about what someone actually said, they create the environment where events like this are “inevitably going to happen.”

Vance accused wealthy left-wing donors such as George Soros and large nonprofits of fueling this dangerous culture.

He pointed to a piece in The Nation about Kirk’s assassination, claiming the author deliberately misrepresented Kirk’s comments on race.

The article labeled Kirk an “unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist” and argued he should not be honored.

Vance said the piece, backed by money from Soros’ Open Society Foundation and the Ford Foundation, was a “disgusting article” that essentially justified Kirk’s death.

The vice president pledged that the federal government would take action against what he called institutions promoting terrorism and violence inside the United States.

He asked supporters to be patient but assured them progress was on the way.

“There is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers,” Vance declared.

He then urged people watching the show to call out anyone celebrating Kirk’s death.

“When you see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder, call them out. Hell, call their employer!” he said.

“We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility. And there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”

Not everyone welcomed Vance’s words. On CNN’s “OutFront,” former Rep. Adam Kinzinger accused the vice president of making Kirk’s assassination into a wedge issue.

“Only one group of people [are] trying to make this a very divisive thing and that is people like JD Vance,” Kinzinger said.

He argued that while anonymous social media users may have celebrated Kirk’s killing, most Democratic leaders he observed had shown sorrow and compassion.

“Nobody wanted this to happen to Charlie Kirk. This is awful,” he said, warning that framing the tragedy as politically motivated without evidence could be “really dangerous.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) moved to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after Omar mocked the tributes to Kirk.

“Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: someone who defends political violence and refuses to condemn the loss of innocent lives when it doesn’t suit her agenda, even the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk,” Mace said.

“If you mock a political assassination and celebrate murder, you don’t get to keep your committee seat, you get consequences,” she added.

Omar, speaking to a progressive outlet a day after Kirk was gunned down, sneered at those praising him.

“There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate. These people are full of s—t and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness,” Omar said.

She insisted Kirk had a long record of “hateful rhetoric” and rejected what she called efforts to sanitize his legacy.

In a video posted later, Omar branded Kirk a “reprehensible human being” and a “stochastic terrorist.”

Mace’s office said Omar’s remarks “demeaned Charlie Kirk, belittled his grieving family, and all but blamed him for his own assassination.”

Her resolution calls for Omar to be stripped of her committee assignments if passed.

President Trump echoed the calls for consequences, telling reporters Omar should be removed from her posts.

“I think she’s a disgraceful person,” Trump said. “You know, I think she’s a disgraceful person, a loser. It’s amazing the way people vote — I know it’s people from her area, maybe all over the world. They got here, and they vote her in. It’s hard to believe, but I think she’s a disgusting person.”
