The death of Charlie Kirk has really affected a lot of people, including some celebrities who have talked about the terrible murder. On Monday, actress Jamie Lee Curtis was on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast and she got really emotional, even crying when she talked about the late conservative media figure.
Charlie Kirk is going to be buried on September 21. There was a memorial for him at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC over the weekend, and many people across the country have been mourning and paying tribute to him.
Not everyone agreed with Charlie Kirk's strong opinions, but the fact that he was killed during an open discussion is a tragedy that should upset both the left and the right.
On Monday, actress Jamie Lee Curtis was on the WTF with Marc Maron Podcast, where she cried over the shocking murder of Kirk. Even though the Freaky Friday star said she disagreed with Kirk “on almost every point I ever heard him say,” the way he was killed really impacted her.
“I want to mention something because it's been on my mind,” Curtis said, according to TMZ. “I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I think he was a man of faith.”
Jamie Lee Curtis's voice changed with emotion as she continued: “I hope that in the moment he died, he felt close to his faith. Even though I think his ideas were really bad, I still see him as a father, a husband, and a man of faith, and I hope whatever connection to God means, he felt it.”
Jamie Lee Curtis breaks down in tears over Charlie Kirk murder
With tears in her eyes, Jamie Lee Curtis talked about 9/11 and the videos of Kirk being shot, which have both been shared on social media.
“Yesterday [on 9/11], we saw those images of the buildings falling down again. … Today, we are constantly faced with so many images. We really don't understand the long-term effects of seeing those towers collapse repeatedly, or watching his execution over and over again,” she mentioned, before going back to the videos of Kirk's death.
“We don't know enough about how this affects us mentally. What does it do? I really don't want to see this footage of this man being shot again.”
Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.
