The tragic and unexpected assassination of activist, Charlie Kirk has left the entire United States in deep shock. In the past few days, Charlie’s death has sparked debates about violence and an increasingly toxic culture of online reactions. Amid that, comedian, Bill Maher opened up about the death of Charlie Kirk and expressed his frustration at the mockery and celebratory remarks.
Bill Maher believes it is an ‘ugly week’ in America
According to The Hollywood Reporter, in the latest episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the comedian and commentator addressed the political issues and division in America and called it an ugly week. Then, he continued to address the assassination of Charlie Kirk and mentioned that the civil war doesn’t look civil to him. He shared:
“And then today in Congress, because Charlie Kirk got assassinated, Lauren Boebert stood up and said, ‘We need to have a prayer.’ So they started to have a silent prayer. And then she started screaming, ‘No! Silent prayers get silent results.’ As if praying out loud gets big results. Then the Democrats started screaming at her that there was a school shooting in her state. I tell you, so far, the civil war is not very civil.”
