Leftist podcast host Jennifer Welch has accused Charlie Kirk of “justifying” his own assassination through his pro-Second Amendment stance.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during a September speaking event at a college campus in Utah.
Tyler Robinson, 22, a leftist with a transgender furry boyfriend, has been charged with the murder.
During a recent episode of her podcast I’ve Had It, featuring disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon, Welch played a clip from CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss interviewing Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.
In the clip, Weiss asked Erika how she responds to those who “justified” her husband’s death.
Erika replied, “You’re sick. He’s a human being. You think he deserved that? Tell that to my three-year-old daughter.”
Welch, responding to the clip, insisted that Kirk himself provided the justification.
Referencing Kirk’s past comments on gun rights, she said, “The person that I heard that justified his death was him. He’s the one that said on tape that if school kids die, but it means he gets to have a Second Amendment, then that’s-, that’s what it’s gonna be. He’s the one that justified it.”
“And I believe at the time of shooting, he was talking about gun violence at the time,” Welch continued.
Welch was alluding to Kirk’s statements, where he argued that some “gun deaths every single year” are an unfortunate but necessary cost to preserve the Second Amendment and protect other God-given rights.
As noted by Mediaite, Kirk had also advocated for armed guards in schools, rhetorically asking, “If our money and our sporting events and our airplanes have armed guards, why don’t our children?”
Lemon wildly claimed he didn’t “know anyone who justified his death.”
His ridiculous claim ignores the reality of mass celebrations of Kirk’s murder. Celebratory comments were so widespread among leftists that dozens of teachers, professors, coaches, and others were fired for their remarks on social media.
