A leftwing podcaster is facing backlash after saying Democrats should “get on board” with celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. The shocking statement came as conservatives mourned the Turning Point USA founder and condemned growing political violence.

On “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed the disturbing call to mock Kirk’s death and the wider cultural trend it reflects. He described the reaction from leftwing voices as proof that hatred toward conservatives has reached a new level.

“Their reaction is that they need to use a bunch of swear words, celebrate people who love murder and love death, and yell at their politicians for not sufficiently celebrating death,” Alex Marlow said.

Marlow’s show, produced by Breitbart News and the Salem Podcast Network, has been tracking leftwing media reactions since the tragedy. He pointed out that while conservatives called for calm and prayer, many progressives online turned to cruel jokes and applause.

Listeners were outraged by remarks from Jennifer Welch, a liberal podcaster who mocked the killing and told Democrats they should “get on board with this sh*t.” The phrase spread across social media, where conservatives condemned her words as dehumanizing and dangerous.

Marlow said the episode revealed how far the cultural divide has grown. He added that the left’s rhetoric around violence has intensified in recent years, while conservative voices calling for civility are often ignored or attacked.

Charlie Kirk, known for building a national youth movement centered on conservative values and free speech, was assassinated earlier this month while speaking to supporters. His death shocked the political world and led to tributes from leaders including former President Donald Trump.

Trump called Kirk “a warrior for America who never stopped fighting for our country.” He said the attack should remind everyone “what happens when hatred is encouraged instead of stopped.”

Kirk’s killing has since become a rallying point for conservatives who say political violence and online dehumanization must end. Breitbart’s coverage has focused on how the left’s language has normalized celebrating death when it targets ideological opponents.

In his broadcast, Marlow noted how the left’s silence over Welch’s comments was almost as telling as the comments themselves. He said mainstream Democrats refuse to condemn rhetoric that would be considered unacceptable if directed at anyone else.

He described the response as a pattern — one where leftwing figures openly embrace violence when it serves their politics, then move on as if nothing happened. “It’s about power, not morality,” he told listeners.

The discussion struck a chord with audiences across conservative media, many of whom see the treatment of Kirk’s death as symbolic of a wider collapse in empathy from the left. Commentators on X and Rumble said the coverage proved that many progressives have lost any sense of shared decency.

Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, released a statement vowing to continue his mission and calling his killer’s motives “the natural result of a culture that rewards hate and silences faith.” The group said Kirk’s memory will be honored by redoubling efforts to engage young Americans and defend the values he stood for.

For conservatives, this latest controversy is another reminder that America’s political divide is not just ideological — it’s moral. The idea that anyone would laugh about murder, they say, shows how much darker the discourse has become.
