Celebrities Attack Trump, Promote Hamas at Emmys, Remain Silent on Charlie Kirk’s Murder– slaynews.com The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was completely ignored during Sunday night’s 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, despite the show’s long history of using its stage for political grandstanding. Just four days earlier, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was assassinated at Utah Valley University during a Q&A session on his “American Comeback Tour.” The shocking political murder drew international headlines and condemnation from President Donald Trump, who called it a “heinous assassination” and an act of “political violence.” But when Hollywood’s elite gathered at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, not one actor, director, or host acknowledged Kirk’s death. Instead, the event was saturated with progressive politics. Viewers Furious at “Deafening Silence” The silence over Kirk’s murder did not go unnoticed. Social media users blasted the Emmys for refusing even a brief tribute.
