American voters have shown considerable patience towards Republicans, but recent events have pushed them to demand action. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has marked a turning point for many. There’s a palpable sense of urgency among voters—when will the promised work for Americans finally begin?

Every now and then, certain moments can spark significant change. I caught JD Vance, the Vice President, making noteworthy closing remarks on the “Charlie Kirk Show” recently. He emphasized the need for unity, even reaching out to those who celebrate violence against political opponents.

If you want to stop political violence like what happened to Charlie Kirk, you have to be honest about the people celebrating it and the people funding it.

On the other hand, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments on the Kate Miller Podcast regarding free speech and hate speech came across as rather careless. She stated, “There’s freedom of speech, then hate speech, not now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.” To many, this use of left-wing terminology in a serious discussion felt misguided. Many Americans affected by the consequences of what they term “hate speech” see Bondi’s statements as a betrayal of sorts.

This morning, she provided clarification saying, “Hate speech that crosses the line of threats of violence is not protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime…” She further criticized what she called the normalization of political violence by the radical left. In a way, it almost seems as if her repeated use of “hate speech” reflects a misunderstanding of the situation at hand. This battle feels so critical; it’s about the very fabric of our country, which seems under siege by far-left organizations urging violence against political adversaries.

Hate speech that crosses boundaries with the threat of violence is not protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime… Those days are over.

Trump weighed in on the situation as well, directing Bondi to investigate accusations against the funders of left-wing groups under RICO statutes. He emphasized the need for stronger measures, feeling that labeling these organizations as domestic terrorists is essential. However, many voters feel disappointed; after handing Republicans control, they expected firm action against various issues, from crime to illegal immigration. There’s been a strong outcry for decisive steps to address these concerns.

A nagging question remains: where are the Senate and House Republicans? It feels as though they’re letting valuable opportunities slip away. If the Democrats were in a similar position, it seems likely they would have acted swiftly. Currently, Republicans have a significant backlog of presidential appointments waiting for confirmation—even after considerable time has passed since Trump made those selections.

This issue isn’t obscure; it’s easy enough to check if someone wanted to see the status of these appointments. Yet, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has faced criticism for not pushing harder for confirmation, and there are worries that they might be stalling. Who knows? Perhaps they’re hedging their bets for the upcoming elections.

There’s time for the Democrats.

Frustrations are growing towards Republican leadership. As we face looming government shutdowns and escalating federal spending, the situation calls for immediate action rather than temporary solutions. There’s a pressing need for Republicans to deliver, especially following Kirk’s shocking death, which has sparked renewed fervor among their supporters. Now is the moment for Republicans to step up and fulfill the priorities they’ve sketched out. For the party, for the supporters, and in memory of Charlie, making substantial strides feels crucial.
