Whoopi Goldberg began Thursday’s episode of “Scenery” by calling Charlie Kirk’s shooting death “devastating.” Conservative activist Donald Trump’s allies and co-founder of Turning Point USA passed away Wednesday at the age of 31 after being shot in the head at a university event in Utah.
“Of course, our hearts go out to Charlie Kirk’s family,” Goldberg said before praising “politicians from both sides of the aisle,” who said after Kirk’s assassination, “opposed violence” and “urged Americans to gather.”
“Isn’t the basic part of being Americans that we can express ourselves to each other that fear and this kind of fear is not happening?” Goldberg asked. “It seems like something we’ve seen more and more. It’s not the left or right. It’s just people being taken away because of their beliefs and ideas.”
“No matter your politics, we have to get to where this country is, not as enemies, but as fellow Americans with different perspectives that we need to be involved in,” co-host Alisa Farrah Griffin added, “He’s really stubborn because he’s been in real trouble because he was thought to be polite, so he’s called a really influential young activist, “an incredible young activist,” and call Kirk while calling Kirk. The only Republicans were OK to speak out and say their perspective. ”
Sunny Hostin said, “I can’t believe someone will kill another person because they are talking about their beliefs. This is relative to who we are as Americans. The first correction is the first correction for reasons.
Goldberg concluded the segment with an urgent plea to the Americans. “Everything we saw – the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, the aggression he went after the Minnesota couple Paul Pelosi. This is not the way we do it. Scary.
Many of Trump’s Hollywood’s most vocal enemies spoke out against Kirk’s gunfire in the aftermath of the killing. Jimmy Kimmel wrote on Instagram: “Instead of angry finger pointing, can we just agree that shooting another person is a scary and monster?
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert recorded a stern message that aired before Wednesday’s episode of “Late Show.”
“Our pathetic dol means going out to his family and all his loved ones,” Colbert said. “I’m old enough to personally remember political violence in the 1960s. I hope it’s clear to everyone that American political violence doesn’t resolve our political differences. Political violence leads to more political violence.
