Kirk finds Dave Chappelle’s joke about husband’s murder ‘beyond disgusting’
Erika Kirk said laughter over Charlie Kirk’s killing normalizes political violence and reflects a culture of moral decay, she posted.
- On Sunday, Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk condemned comedian Dave Chappelle after he referenced her husband Charlie Kirk's killing during a Madison Square Garden performance, decrying a culture that "laughs at assassination" as "profound moral decay."
- Chappelle's Madison Square Garden set included remarks about Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in September 2025, with the comedian stating he felt "fucked up" discussing the murder publicly.
