The website Jezebel has released a statement after paying witches to put a curse on conservative activist Charlie Kirk – just two days before he was shot and killed Wednesday at a Utah college event.
What happened to Charlie Kirk?
An article published on September 8 was titled ‘We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk’.
As news trickled in of Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday, the left-leaning website issued a statement clarifying the timing of the post.
‘This story was published on September 8,’ the website said in the statement following the death of Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump who played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters.
The outlet continued: ‘Jezebel condemned the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms.
‘We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind.’
‘Don’t want it to rain on your wedding day? There’s a spell for that.
‘Want the man who cheated on you to develop an incurable rash? Or premature balding? The Etsy coven has you covered.’
The author subsequently tagged Kirk as one of the ‘downsides’ of the Internet, citing his politics.
‘Maybe it’s his obsession with telling women what to do or his aggressively large head, but the far-right podcaster’s presence is more irritating than most,’ the author said.
The author posed the question, ‘Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he’s shouted at America’s youth and anyone within earshot?
‘Here at Jezebel, we’re about to find out if there’s a spell for that.’
