In the almost two weeks since Charlie Kirk's assassination, the Democratic Party has continued to ramp up the inflammatory rhetoric against Republicans and conservatives. Earlier today, we told you how Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) continued to call Republicans "Nazis" (after several calls for violence against Republicans).
She's not alone, with social media users posting vile calls to violence against the Kirk family, President Trump, and even the attendees of Kirk's memorial service, which was held on September 21 in Arizona.
Now, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is fighting back against this extremism by launching a portal to "Combat Violent Extremism."
The idea of someone being assassinated for peacefully opposing radical ideals is vile and anti-American.

Here's more from the Cape Coral Breeze:
Floridians now have a government portal through which they can report threats of public violence.
Attorney General James Uthmeier joined Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas at Valencia College in Orlando this morning to announce the launch of the “Combat Violent Extremism Portal” to “help identify and combat politically-motivated violence.”
“The secure online portal allows the public to submit screenshots, videos, and other evidence of threats of violent extremism directly to Attorney General Uthmeier’s Office of Statewide Prosecution,” a release from Uthmeier’s press office states. “Submissions may be anonymous. Prosecutors will review each report and, where appropriate, prosecute those responsible for the threat.:
The portal is not intended for emergencies. Citizens facing an immediate threat should call 911, officials said.
In a press conference, Uthmeier added, "The idea of someone being assassinated for peacefully opposing such radical ideals is vile and anti-American. Threats of political violence will not be tolerated in Florida. That is why today we are launching a new tool, simply named the Combat Violent Extremism Portal, to report acts or threats of political violence.”
Statewide Prosecutor Brad McVay said, “Any individual who makes a threat that violates Florida law will be dealt with immediately. We look forward to working closely with our law enforcement partners to enhance the efforts to safeguard the Free State of Florida from political violence.”
This portal would also apply to educators. Florida Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas told reporters, "Any educator who makes vile, despicable comments celebrating and encouraging violence in schools will be investigated and held accountable."
One X user posted, "It is a shame that this is something that has become necessary. I think of my parents who were happily, blissfully married for 60 years. For 50 of those years my Dad was a Republican and until the Lewinsky "thing" my Mom was a Democrat. There is something terribly wrong that we've allowed politics to divide us."
Another applauded the move and said, "This needs to be done across the country."
