The news of Charlie Kirk’s tragic killing sent shockwaves throughout the world.
The 31-year-old conservative political activist, commentator, and Trump supporter was shot in the neck during a campus debate at Utah Valley University on September 10. He was shot with a single rifle shot from a rooftop around 200 yards away from where he was seated.
Authorities made an arrest in the case. The alleged killer, identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, now “faces single counts of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and violent offense in the presence of a child, along with two counts each of obstruction of justice and witness tampering,” People reported.
While thousands are mourning Kirk’s passing, there have been a number of celebrities who made inappropriate comments about the tragic passing of the right-wing activist.
Dwayne Johnson’s daughter, Ava Raine, faced backlash for sharing a post that many saw as indirectly referencing Kirk, while UK punk band Bob Vylan openly labeled him a “piece of s***.” Meanwhile, MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd was axed after discussing “hateful thoughts” in relation to Kirk.
Actor Michael Keaton has been among those who came under scrutiny online because of the comments made about Charlie Kirk.
At the Investigative Reporters and Editors’ 50th anniversary gala on Monday, September 15, the Pennsylvania-born actor noted the “irony” of Kirk’s death, given his pro-gun stance and frequent opposition to gun control. In his full remarks, Keaton seemed to both acknowledge Kirk’s family and reflect on the broader issue of gun violence.
“Before we start to get into the meat of this thing, I’m going to take a minute to say that, regardless of how I probably — not probably — have disagreed with many things he said, Charlie Kirk leaves behind two kids and a wife,” he said in his speech. “You gotta remember that.
“Because in the end, shooting people will never answer anything, and the irony that he was killed with a gun is unbelievable.”
Kirk’s fans labeled Keaton ‘a moron’ and ‘garbage’ for his remark.
“This right here is why sooo many people checked out of watching anything Hollywood creates,” one person wrote. “Third grade education on display again.”
Another added, “The only irony is that far left subhumans who scream for gun control keep using guns to hurt innocent law abiding Americans. Hypocrite.”
Truth is that few figures drew as much debate as Charlie Kirk did, and his death has only amplified the split in public opinion.
