"STUDENT: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years? CHARLIE KIRK: Too many. STUDENT: It's five. Now five is a lot, I'm going to give you credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years? CHARLIE KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence? (FATAL GUNSHOT)"
"See, because here's the thing. Now, bantering the word assassination around Charlie Kirk was not a political figure. I mean, he might have been influential to political figures, he wasn't a political figure. He wasn't assassinated, he was shot. He was shot. And that's unfortunate. Unfortunately, that happens to far too many people. But those other two congressmen, they were political figures and they were shot because of their political beliefs."
Charlie Kirk was shot during an event at Utah Valley University and later died from his injuries. Social media videos captured an exchange in which a student cited five transgender Americans as mass shooters, Kirk replied "Too many," then asked "Counting or not counting gang violence?" immediately before the fatal shot. On The Don Lemon Show podcast, D.L. Hughley lashed out at Kirk, called him a horrible human being, and said Kirk used his last words to lie about Black people. The segment contrasted reactions from the right with past shootings of political figures and debated empathy and political violence.
