Chris Kluwe lashes out at GOP, defending Elizabeth Warren
Chris Kluwe, who was dismissed earlier this year from his high school coaching job after calling the MAGA movement a “Nazi movement,” did not hold back his anger. In a blunt post, he praised Sen. Elizabeth Warren for rejecting claims that Democrat rhetoric led to Kirk’s assassination. He wrote, “F**ing finally. Fight back against the bulls framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is choosing to create this kind of societal environment.
They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not f***ing children (except when, well, you know).”
This forceful statement underscores Kluwe’s belief that the political climate has been deteriorating due to the GOP’s actions.

Earlier, Kluwe added that Charlie Kirk helped create “the kind of society he currently lives in.” He posted, “It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time: 1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society 2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth.”
Kluwe’s comments have drawn both criticism and support, fueling intense debate over the responsibility of public figures in shaping national discourse.Also Read: NFL’s silence on Charlie Kirk’s tragic death is sparking controversy and raising questionsCurrently campaigning for a California state assembly seat, Kluwe remains unyielding in his activism, even after his controversial firing and multiple public arrests protesting MAGA initiatives.
