Far-left podcasters apologize after laughing at ‘insensitive’ joke about Charlie Kirk
Podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan apologised after receiving criticism for laughing on their show at a social media joke about exhuming Charlie Kirk’s body. They said the joke was insensitive, expressed regret and linked their apology to their opposition to gun violence.
The joke came during a discussion of online reactions to Democrats’ 2026 midterm victories. The hosts also made unsupported claims that the man accused of killing Kirk was a Trump supporter; voter records cited in the article show he was unaffiliated and did not vote in the previous two general elections. The hosts said they had donated to Everytown for Gun Safety.
In short
- Two podcasters apologised for laughing at a joke about Charlie Kirk.
- They said the joke was insensitive and donated to Everytown.
- The episode also included unsupported claims about the accused man’s politics.
