‘Couldn’t muster a word!’ MAGA melts down as Charlie Kirk snubbed at the Emmys



MAGA is criticizing the Emmys for snubbing Charlie Kirk, a conservative podcast host and Turning Point USA founder, who was shot and killed last week during a speaking event at a Utah university.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday attacked Hollywood and reshared a Hollywood Reporter article, apparently upset over how Kirk was not mentioned during the award show acceptance speeches Sunday night, Politico reports.

“Hollywood claims they’re all about free speech,” Cruz wrote on social media. “And yet not even ONE of them could muster a word about @charliekirk11 being assassinated because of his speech.”

Cruz turned his attention to Hannah Einbinder, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, and declared, “F--- ICE and free Palestine!”

The event mainly dodged politics and avoided Kirk's name, Politico reports.

And MAGA wasn't happy.

“The Emmys made ZERO reference to Charlie Kirk who was assassinated... This is the Hollywood left,” a user on X with more than 36,000 followers wrote.

Another conservative voice on X called Hollywood "evil" and "a joke," saying "it ignored a political voice with a major media presence who was gunned down just 5 days earlier."

"Charlie Kirk lost his life debating in the open for all to see and challenge. These clowns get paid millions to tell partisan “jokes” to their partisan audiences while losing money for their employers," a Salem Radio network affiliate posted on X, calling the show "insulting."

Cruz and other MAGA lawmakers have criticized people who have spoken out against Kirk's rhetoric, even calling for the firing of people who spoke out against right-wing extremism.
