Charlie Kirk's old post condemning attack on Dave Chappelle resurfaces after comedian jokes TPUSA founder's murder made him ‘feel better’

Charlie Kirk's old X post criticizing an attack on Dave Chappelle has resurfaced following the comedian's recent joke about Kirk's murder on stage. Chappelle made the comment during a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 7, 2025, with the audience reacting to his statement. The incident sparked criticism from various figures, including Elon Musk, Benny Johnson, and Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk.

Johnson pointed out that Kirk had previously condemned an attack on Chappelle by an armed man during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 3, 2022. At the time, Kirk had posted on X, "By refusing to charge the armed maniac who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage, George Gascon is sending a clear message that public acts of political violence are justifiable—and even encouraged—against anyone who dares speak out against The Regime.

It’s Sinister & Un-American." In response to the joke, Erika Kirk described it as "beyond disgusting" in a separate X post, emphasizing the moral decay of a culture that finds humor in political assassination.
