Walter Hudson, a public official and commentator, posted a series of tweets on September 11, 2025, addressing the circumstances surrounding an individual's death and criticizing political opponents for their rhetoric and associations.

In his first post at 00:53 UTC, Hudson stated: "A life wasn't lost to 'gun violence.' It was lost to 'by any means necessary' socialism."

Shortly after, at 00:55 UTC, he added: "Doesn't resonate. Kumbaya is not possible with people who celebrate our deaths. If you're sincere about 'appealing to our better angles,' fight your own sides glorification of violence."

At 00:58 UTC, Hudson continued his criticism by writing: "The pivot to 'gun violence' is abhorrent. Charlie was murdered by a 'by any means necessary' socialist... ... you know, of the type you promote, advocate for, accept campaign contributions from, and serve."

These statements reflect ongoing debates in U.S. politics regarding the framing of violent incidents and the language used by political groups when responding to such events. Hudson's remarks are part of broader discussions about how acts of violence are attributed or described in public discourse.
