Marjorie Taylor Greene Revives Call for ‘National Divorce’ After Charlie Kirk Killing
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has renewed her call for what she describes as a “peaceful national divorce,” tying the appeal directly to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Greene said the United States is “too far gone and too far divided,” and argued that separation between red and blue states is the only viable option. According to Mediaite her remarks framed the political divide as irreconcilable and suggested that only structural separation could provide relief.
Her comments came at a tense moment in Utah, where investigators are still examining the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University that left Kirk dead. Governor Spencer Cox confirmed that the 22-year-old suspect remains in custody and has not cooperated with authorities. Full interview NBS News,
Officials have stated they are working to establish a motive and to reconstruct the sequence of events surrounding the attack. According to Reuters, investigators have not yet identified whether the killing was politically motivated or linked to personal grievances, but they have released surveillance footage and appealed for public assistance in gathering evidence.
Greene linked her call for political separation directly to the incident, writing on X that “there is nothing left to talk about with the left.” In a short video message posted the same day, she said she was “shocked and devastated” by Kirk’s death and argued that the United States is “no longer safe for any of us.” According to her posts and coverage by multiple outlets, she presented the idea of a national divorce not as a violent rupture but as a peaceful restructuring that would allow states to govern according to their own political and cultural values.
The Georgia Republican’s remarks quickly drew national attention, both from supporters who share her frustrations and from critics who see the rhetoric as reckless. While Greene has made similar arguments in the past, she tied this latest call more explicitly to Kirk’s killing, saying her position at a time when the political climate is already strained. Mediaite reported that Greene emphasized any separation should be nonviolent, though opponents warned that the language itself risks inflaming tensions and deepening polarization.
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was a prominent voice on the American right. He was shot during an outdoor event that drew thousands of attendees, and officials described the attack as targeted assassination.
prosecutors are preparing formal charges against the suspect, though no timeline has been set for court proceedings. The incident has shocked conservative circles and prompted tributes from political leaders and activists across the country.
