Overview
- A clip from the I’ve Had It podcast showed hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan reading a social media post that said “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again,” and then laughing for more than 20 seconds before saying “No comment.”
- The exchange, aired Thursday, also included the hosts suggesting the person who shot Kirk was linked to MAGA, comments that media reports quoted as part of their coverage.
- Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10, 2025 at a Turning Point USA event and the suspect, Tyler Robinson, is charged with aggravated murder with prosecutors seeking the death penalty, facts that continue to shape how the clip is received.
- Reaction split along ideological lines, with conservative outlets and figures such as Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet condemning the hosts and other commentators urging broader criticism of joking about political violence.
- The viral spread of the clip has intensified public scrutiny of political speech online and could increase pressure on podcasters, platforms, and advertisers to respond to content that appears to celebrate real violence.
