Governor Josh Shapiro Calls for National Unity Amid Surge in Political Violence

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro urged all Americans to “universally condemn political violence” after recent fatal attacks, including the killing of conservative youth organizer Charlie Kirk and a deadly shootout in York County that claimed three police officers. Shapiro warned the U.S. is at an “inflection point,” calling for shared values to guide the nation rather than division. He recounted his own experiences, including the firebombing of the governor’s mansion in April, and referenced the murder of Minnesota state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. While rejecting efforts to silence offensive political speech, Shapiro emphasized that there’s a clear difference between protected speech and incitement to violence. He pushed for healing, unity, and focusing on common ground in what he described as a deeply polarized moment.
