A Los Angeles woman is facing backlash online after sharing a social media post showing off her Halloween costume that appeared to mock the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
In a post that quickly went viral, the woman wrote:
“Wearing my Charlie Kirk costume to the gym because that’s what he would have wanted.”
The post, which included photos of her in the costume, drew widespread condemnation across social media, with many calling it disrespectful and deeply inappropriate, especially so soon after the tragic event involving Kirk.
Critics accused the woman of celebrating violence and using a national tragedy for attention. Others called for the gym to take action after she allegedly wore the costume during her workout.
Authorities have not announced any investigation into the incident, but online users continue to debate the limits of free expression versus incitement and mockery in sensitive situations.
As of now, the woman has not responded publicly to the backlash or taken down the post.
