The co-creator of Two Broke Girls may have provided the most off-the-wall take on the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, 31, was killed while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Police have arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the killing. Almost immediately after the shooting, conservatives blamed Kirk’s death on liberals over their criticisms of him.
But as liberals and conservatives argued over which side needs to tone down the political rhetoric, actress and comedian Whitney Cummings offered a downright bizarre take in which she took issue with the public nature of the killing.
“The person who killed Charlie Kirk could have done it privately but chose to do it publicly in front of kids,” she tweeted on Thursday. “If you are happy about this you’re also pro child trauma.”
Cummings’ viral post spawned a few viral posts in kind.
“You mean like they could’ve set up an intimate assassination appointment?” one user wrote in a post retweeted more than 1,000 times. “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU FUCKING DINGBAT? I HATE HOW GODDAMN STUPID EVERYONE IS NOW!
“Charlie Kirk could have been murdered privately” has been taking me out all morning. Girl what?” another person wrote.
“charlie kirk should have been killed in private instead” is the sensible middle ground take we’ve needed,” another user wrote sarcastically.
On Friday night, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, gave her first public address since the shooting. In her remarks, she blamed unspecified “evildoers” for killing her husband. Police have not indicated that more than one person was involved in the shooting.
