Erika Kirk had a devastating reaction to her husband, Charlie, being "cursed" just two days before he was assassinated.
In case you missed it, an article published by feminist website Jezebel detailed how it paid witches on Etsy to curse the conservative activist.
The article was published on September 8, and Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10.
A chilling curse and its aftermath
The article described how a Jezebel reporter paid witches on Etsy for “multiple curses” in retaliation against Charlie Kirk, for his "years of regressive rhetoric."
Megyn Kelly has since revealed Erika's reaction to these "multiple curses" on her SiriusXM show, The Megyn Kelly Show.
"This is what I want you all, and the people at Jezebel and Etsy, to know," Kelly said, expressing her outrage. "Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses, and that news genuinely rattled Erika, in particular. She knew Christian teaching on the subject, she loved Charlie, absolutely, and she was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up."
Two days after the publication of the article, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly shot and killed Charlie Kirk in a targeted attack during his speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10. The assassination has left the Kirk family in mourning.
Public outrage over the Jezebel article
Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back when condemning Jezebel for publishing the article. "Why torture a family like this, a Christian believing family?" Kelly exclaimed.
"Why do this vile thing to a young couple, parents to two babies living in accordance with the gospel, deeply in love, and yes, political, but doing nothing other than speaking publicly about their views and their desires to make other people’s lives better."
The article, which initially garnered attention, has since been removed from Jezebel's website, though it left lasting distress on the Kirk family.
The feminist site added an editor’s note condemning the violent act that followed, but Kelly is demanding more accountability.
"Who would do such a vile thing? Jezebel, that’s who, and unbelievably, Etsy. And the people behind this evil should be called out," Kelly added, calling for a public apology from both entities.
"Both entities should issue an immediate full-throated apology to Erika Kirk for introducing this awfulness into her beautiful family and causing her or Charlie any distress whatsoever in what would be the waning hours of his life."
Calls for accountability
Kelly urged Etsy to stop allowing the sale of curses and return to focusing on "arts and crafts and jewelry."
"I love Charlie and Erika, and the fact that something like this was even allowed to happen, publicly and so openly, is just wrong," Kelly said. "This needs to be called out. And I hope those responsible for this vile action realize the harm they've caused."
As the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination continues, the tragic incident has sparked widespread outrage, particularly about the potential influence of online platforms in such violent acts.
