Erika Kirk’s Message For Dave Chappelle After His Chilling Remark About Charlie’s Assassination

Erika Kirk has posted a response to Dave Chappelle’s viral comments about her husband’s assassination. 

“To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting,” the grieving widow shared on X. 

“My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives. A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.”

“You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard,” Kirk continued.

“Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates,” she concluded.

Kirk’s statement comes days after Chappelle, a stand-up comedian, made waves for saying he “feels better” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.

“I feel f*cked up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. 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 during a stand-up set in New York City Friday night, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

Chappelle has reportedly made similar comments celebrating Kirk’s death at other events throughout his “Karmageddon” tour.

“I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling,” Chappelle also said. “I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!’”

This type of rhetoric has become a trend among leftists more than a year after Kirk’s political assassination. Last week, leftist podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan discussed a social media post about “digging up” Charlie Kirk’s body on their podcast “I’ve Had It.”

While reading social media posts mocking conservatives following massive Democrat gains in Tuesday’s election, Welch could not contain her laughter after reading a post saying, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”

Multiple sponsors have since dropped Sullivan and Welch’s show, including Cash App, Zenni Optical, and Chewy. After significant backlash, the hosts issued a formal apology Saturday on Instagram.
