King Charles condemned acts of political violence in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday.

‘So, ladies, gentlemen, you meet in times of great uncertainty in times of conflict, from Europe to the Middle East, which pose immense challenges for the international community and whose impact is felt in communities,’ he said.

‘We meet two in the aftermath of the incident, not far from this great building that sought to harm the leadership of your nation and to foment wider fear and discord,’ he continued.

‘Let me say with unshakable resolve, such acts of violence will never succeed.’

King Charles noted the importance and consequences of the actions of the United States.

‘America’s words carry weight and meaning, as they have since Independence,’ he said.

‘The actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well, with his reflection in the magisterial Gettysburg Address that the world may little note what we say, but will never forget what we do.’

The Office of the First Lady shared a video of the highlights from the King and Queen’s second day of visiting the White House.

California Democrat Ro Khanna is not happy that King Charles did not mention convicted deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his speech before the US Congress on Tuesday.

‘It’s very disappointing after the British Ambassador told me that the King would talk about the survivors and sex trafficking. The King’s failure to acknowledge the pain his brother had caused is a moral failure and emblematic of an elite impunity that is an ongoing affront to survivors,’ said Representative Khanna.

In an exclusive comment to the Daily Mail, Khanna also noted that the omission was ‘disrespectful to the survivors, including to Sky and Amanda Roberts — Virginia Giuffre’s family — who I held a roundtable with this morning.’

King Charles scorned for ‘moral failure’ after Epstein omission

California Democrat Ro Khanna is not happy that King Charles did not mention convicted deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his speech before the US Congress on Tuesday.

King Charles joked about the tradition of taking a ‘hostage,’ or a designated survivor, during his addresses to lawmakers.

‘Now, as you may know, when I address my own parliament at Westminster, we still follow an age old tradition and take a member of parliament hostage,’ he said.

‘Holding him or her at Buckingham palace until I am safely returned. These days we look after our guests rather well, to the point that they often do not want to leave.

‘I don’t know, Mr. Speaker, if there are any volunteers for that role here today.’

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi beamed ahead of Tuesday’s speech in a striking lilac suit as King Charles and Queen Camilla took the stage.

Pelosi was also seen mingling with Republicans on the other side of the House chamber in a friendly manner before the address.

Last month, Pelosi argued in a video posted to Facebook that ‘NO KINGS – that was the WHOLE POINT of the American Revolution and our Constitution.’

‘No Kings’ Dems who showed up for King Charles’ Capitol speech exposed

Some Capitol Hill liberals attended Tuesday’s speech by King Charles III despite previously pushing a ‘No Kings’ message in the US in opposition to President Donald Trump.

The White House shared a photo of King Charles and Donald Trump on X, captioning the post ‘Two Kings.’

A man dressed as George Washington listened to King Charles III speak to a Joint Meeting of Congress in the House Chamber while US Vice President JD Vance and US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson listened behind him.

King Charles quoted Donald Trump during his speech to Congress.

‘As President Trump himself observed during his state visit to Britain last autumn, “The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It is irreplaceable and unbreakable,”‘ Charles said.

‘The Alliance that our two Nations have built over the centuries – and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people – is truly unique.

‘And that alliance is part of what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s soaring vision of an Atlantic partnership based on twin pillars: Europe and America. That partnership, I believe Mr. Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been.’

Despite facing calls to address the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles did not directly acknowledge them during his address to Congress.

However, he did include a nod to ‘victims’ of ‘ills’ that exist in society.

‘In both of our countries, it is the very fact of our vibrant, diverse and free societies that gives us our collective strength, including to support victims of some of the ills that, so tragically, exist in both our societies today,’ he said.
