Leftist Media Outlet Bragged About Paying Witches to 'Curse Charlie Kirk' Two Days Before His Death
On Wednesday afternoon, the editors at the far-left outlet Jezebel put this editor's note at the beginning of a piece: "This story was published on September 8. Jezebel condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms. We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind."
But not enough, apparently, to delete and don apologetic sackcloth for a Monday story titled, "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk."
The Turning Point USA founder was shot and killed Wednesday on the campus of Utah Valley University during his "American Comeback" tour.
FBI Director Kash Patel reported Wednesday evening that a suspected shooter was in custody.
At least for today, even the left had to admit that it was mostly against political demonization. There were statements deploring "this kind of despicable violence" (Barack Obama), saying how there was "no place in our country for this kind of violence" (Joe Biden), or noting that "[p]olitical violence has absolutely no place in our nation" (Nancy Pelosi), as CNN noted.
