An dress accompany is veneer monolithic backlash online after they unveiled 2 tee-shirts in the wake of Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting. The 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was shot in the neck during an event at the Utah Valley University on September 10, and later succumbed to his injuries.
Kirk, a Trump ally, has been remembered for his openness to debate. However, the apparel company twists this with an image of a cartoon Kirk, being hit in the neck by the bullet. The tee is captioned ‘Debate this’.
Another addition to this collection is a graphic depiction of Kirk in the ‘freedom’ tee-shirt he was wearing at the Utah event, being shot in the neck. The tee is captioned ‘Protect Ya Neck’ after the famous Wu-Tang Clan track.
Both tees are priced at $22.99 and come in various size and color options. The designs are also available for hoodies and full-sleeved tees. On their X posts, promoting these products, the apparel company said “Because tyranny doesn’t take a day off.” In another post, they wrote “For those who don’t back down. Ever.”
Most people have not taken kindly to the designs, which were promoted immediately the day after Kirk's shooting. One person on X called them ‘disgusting’ and asked how ‘dare’ they ‘rejoice in assassination’.
Meanwhile, several flocked to the posts to say they've reported it. Another person slammed the company as ‘filthy degenerates.’
Notably, the company also has tees which glorify Kirk as a ‘patriot’ and one which says ‘rest in peace’. They also put out a post showing a white tee with ‘freedom’ emblazoned across the chest, like the one Kirk was wearing when he was shot.
While outrage continues after Kirk's killing, and theories do the rounds, the FBI has announced that they have identified a ‘person of interest’ in the case.
They released a photo of the individual and have offered $100,000 to anyone who may have information pertaining to the same.
