Podcaster Jennifer Welch claims Charlie Kirk 'justified' his own death

Far-left podcast host Jennifer Welch said during a conversation with ex-CNN host Don Lemon on her "I've Had It" podcast that Charlie Kirk "justified" his own killing.

Far-left podcast host Jennifer Welch claimed on her show Saturday that Charlie Kirk "justified" his own killing, reacting to a clip of his widow, Erika Kirk, condemning people for mocking or rationalizing his assassination.

"The person that I heard that justified his death was him," Welch said. "He’s the one that said on tape that if school kids die, but it means he gets to have a Second Amendment, then that’s what it’s going to be. He’s the one that justified it."

"And I believe at the time of shooting, he was talking about gun violence at the time. That’s wild to me, number one. And then for her — I want to get your opinion on this as a Black man — for her to say that people are dehumanizing Charlie Kirk," Welch told former CNN host Don Lemon on her "I've Had It" podcast.

CBS' Bari Weiss asked Erika Kirk during a town hall that aired Saturday about people mocking and celebrating her husband's assassination. Kirk called those people "sick," and said the internet was dehumanizing people.
