ESPN host Stephen A. Smith spoke out against people who openly celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
During an episode of his podcast on Thursday, Smith aggressively condemned anyone celebrating the murder of Kirk.
“I don’t care about his political convictions! I don’t care what he felt!” Smith added that he felt pain for Kirk and his family. “That he died at the age of 31. That his wife is a widow. That his children are without a father because his ideas and his beliefs differ from someone else, apparently.”

“And then I’m going online, and I see people celebrating it!” He continued. “Shame! Shame on you!”
Smith also congratulated New York Yankees for Honoré Kirk on Wednesday evening before the match against the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees had a moment of silence for Kirk and showed an image of him on the Jumbotron stadium.
“The accessories for the organization of New York Yankees last night to have a moment of silence,” said Smith. “We are not supposed to tolerate things like that. We are not supposed to say that it’s okay. I do not give a D – n that you are, black, white or anything between the two!”
Smith added that he hoped that the FBI will find the suspect.
“I hope that the FBI and the police catch this person and will do what should be done with him.”
