Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson used Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart to mock the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was killed just eight months ago.
During the live-streamed roast on Sunday, Davidson turned his attention to fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and said:
“Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”

The crude remark was a direct and deeply disturbing reference to the September 10 assassination of Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, where he was shot in the neck during a campus event.
The assassination was captured on video and immediately broadcast all over social media, where his young children will one day see it.
The audience reaction was immediate and audible, with gasps and scattered boos filling the venue as Davidson delivered the line.
Social media erupted almost instantly, with users across platforms condemning the joke as “shockingly deranged,” “gratuitous and cheap,” “zero % funny and 100% vile,” and reliant purely on shock value rather than actual comedy.
Many pointed out that Davidson himself has spoken publicly about the trauma of losing his father on 9/11 yet showed zero empathy for Kirk’s grieving young children.
Davidson’s gross remarks did not stop at mocking the death of a young father.
The “comedian” continued his set by calling Hinchcliffe “looking like both a child molester and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them.”
He also called for someone to kill Hinchcliffe, playing on his stage name “Kill Tony.”
“Oh, you don’t know me? Yeah, kill Tony. Please, someone, fucking kill Tony,” Davidson said. “Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was in a beef with Kanye, so I’ve taken shots from better gay Nazis.”
It appears that Kirk’s assassination is now open for jokes, as far as the left is concerned, as just last week, washed-up has-been Kathy Griffin also took jabs at him and his family on her podcast.

“I knew Charlie Kirk. I did a panel with him one time, and his squished-in face,” Griffin said.
She continued, “And, yeah, I said that, because that dude was a straight-up Nazi.”
“And that is my opinion,” the hate continued. “But, you know, the way we’ve deified him is bizarre. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
