The Inside Politics Sunday show, hosted by Raju Charlie, delves into the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, highlighting the United States' escalating political violence and the differing responses from leaders. The script discusses President Trump's aggressive rhetoric blaming the 'radical left' for the violence, contrasted with Utah Governor Spencer Cox's call for calm and moral clarity. Additionally, the show examines Trump's stance on Russia and NATO sanctions, criticized for appearing weak. Democratic Senator John Fetterman provides a critique of his party's current strategies, particularly regarding their handling of crime, immigration, and their response to Trump's administration. The show also previews Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK, emphasizing the ceremonious aspects of the trip.
