Jamie Lee Curtis broke the death of Charlie Kirk despite his political disagreement.
“I’m going to raise something with you just because it’s in front of my heart. Charlie Christ was killed two days ago,” the “Freakier Friday” star shared on “WTF” on the “WTF and Marc Maron” podcast.
When Mark Maron corrected her saying that his last name was Kirk, not Christ, she said, “Sorry, Kirk. I called him Christ.”
Curtis, 66, began to sob, “I mean, I oppose him at almost every point I heard what he said, but I believe he is a man of faith.
She said, “Even if his ideas find something abominable to me, I believe he is a father, husband and man of faith.
During the podcast, she also criticized “as a society, we are being hit by images” after a viral video of Kirk’s shooting death on September 10th surfaced online.
“So I don’t know that the longitudinal effects of seeing those (twins) towers repeat over and over again,” she said.
The “Knife Out” actress also said that she was assassinated exactly five years after the day President John F. Kennedy was born.
“I have something to do with this terrible day when someone is assassinated on television,” she said, explaining she fears we have “fallen” into such violent images.
“We’re paralyzed by them, but they’re there. We don’t know. We don’t know enough psychologically about what it does. What does it do?”
Curtis said he didn’t want to see footage of Kirk being assassinated.
Kirk was shot dead on September 10th and spoke outside on an American comeback tour at Utah Valley University in Orem. He was 31 years old.
Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, was booked at the Utah County Jail last week after being arrested for a felony discharge of firearms, worsening shootings and obstructing justice in the shooting.
Robinson is also charged with capital murder. Additionally, President Donald Trump and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox both called on suspects to receive the death penalty.
