Charlie Kirks assassination is one of the most shocking incidents in recent memory and it has even affected those in wrestling. This includes Gail Kim, who has received a lot of racist attacks for condemning his murder and she has now pushed back against the racist attacks.
It all started when Gail Kim took to Twitter and made it clear she did not condone what happened to Charlie Kirk and some fans attacked her for mourning Kirk, who accused him of being a misogynist and racist and called out Kim for supporting Kirk while condemning WWE for the same things.
Gail Kim then took to Twitter and responded to backlash after she mourned Charlie Kirks murder, explaining that her message was about peace and dialogue, not politics. She said she doesnt condone violence and feels people are so divided by hate that they think shes choosing sides, when in fact shes asking for the opposite.
In another tweet, Gail Kim followed up by addressing racist comments, saying it shocks her how much hate people spread when she simply calls for peace and dialogue. She pointed out that some accuse one side of racism while, in the same breath, attack her for marrying a white man, which she finds deeply frustrating. Kim added that it shows how damaging social media has become.
Gail Kim added that she married her husband out of love, not money, and that he wasnt rich when they met. She said the hateful comments about her marriage come from people unwilling to hear anything that doesnt match their own views.
Kim added that when she promotes peace and love, some people respond with slurs and insults, which only proves where the real hate lies. She stated that she refuses to give in to negativity and will always stand against division and hate.
Gail Kims response to the tragedy around Charlie Kirks assassination shows how tense and divided things are right now, even for people outside politics. Its totally unfair to see Kim getting racist attacks over her stance on Kirks assassination and we hope people stop attacking her.
Do you believe public figures like Gail Kim should speak out on political violence, even at the risk of backlash? Sound off in the comments.
