Erika Kirk blasted jokes about the murder of her husband, Charlie Kirk, as “beyond disgusting” after Dave Chappelle poked fun at his death at a sold-out Madison Square Garden show over the weekend. Chappelle told the New York City crowd on Friday that he’s felt “better” ever since conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at a Turning Point USA rally last September.
“And I mean, look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but I feel better,” Chappelle said. “I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling,” he continued. “I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!” Erika Kirk condemned “leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators” for using her late husband’s public assassination as a “punchline” in an X post following the viral clip of Chappelle’s joke.
