Former President Bill Clinton today said he was "disturbed" by the recent rise in acts of political violence, specifically mentioning the fatal shootings of conservative activist Charlie Kirk this month and Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband earlier this year.

Clinton said that political violence in the U.S. is "the product of our disagreements in America becoming so deep" that people want to not only win elections, but dominate their opponents "at any cost."

In remarks to attendees of the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting in New York, the former president also said he was worried that the weight of government is being used to suppress free speech and free expression in journalism, comedy and elsewhere — an apparent reference to Trump and his administration's attacks on news organizations and television networks over their coverage.

Clinton joked, "Look, no politician likes the press on bad days,” but he added that a tough press corps "makes our ideas stronger and our politics better."
