Kaitlin Bennett Confronts “No Kings” Protester Who Celebrates Charlie Kirk’s Death: “You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself”
Conservative activist and reporter Kaitlin Bennett confronted a protester at the No Kings rally in Bradenton, Florida, after the woman openly celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder and said she’d “maybe” be glad if Bennett died too.
Bennett, known for her on-the-ground interviews at political protests, approached the woman to ask why she was at the rally. What followed was a disturbing glimpse into how normalized political hatred has become on the Left.
Protester: “Whatever his name was?”
Kaitlin: “Charlie Kirk, ma’am.”
Protester: “Yeah, him. He’s horrible. Horrible.”
Kaitlin: “Charlie Kirk is horrible?”
Protester: “Yes, I’m glad he’s not here.”
Kaitlin: “You’re glad he’s dead?”
Protester: “Yes.”
Bennett pressed her further, shocked at the admission.
Kaitlin: “You would be glad if I would die?”
Protester: “Maybe. I’d have to think about it.”
When Bennett reminded the woman that Charlie Kirk’s work was peaceful — hosting events, engaging students, and promoting conservative ideas — the protester doubled down:
“Why do you think he got shot? Because he wasn’t a good person.”
The exchange quickly drew attention from others in the crowd, who defended the woman rather than condemning her comments. One protester scolded Bennett for “pointing a finger,” while another called her “a horrible person” for simply asking questions.
Kaitlin: “You have got to watch the things you say. Because what you just did — that’s disgusting.”
The woman eventually tried to walk away, saying, “I don’t mean it, but he was a horrible person,” before refusing to explain why she believed that.
After the confrontation, Bennett turned to the camera, visibly shaken but resolute.
“Let this be proof right now — these people are not peaceful. Just because they’re not committing physical acts of violence doesn’t mean they wouldn’t celebrate if you died. If you believe even a modicum of what Charlie Kirk believed in, they’d cheer your death. That is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
The footage quickly went viral, sparking outrage among conservatives online. Many called the incident another example of the Left’s growing moral rot — where hatred for political opponents has replaced basic decency and empathy.
Bennett ended her segment with a message of defiance:
“This is what a conservative woman has to deal with just to have a conversation with liberals these days. But we make it happen — because they’re not going to intimidate me or stop me. And honestly, I just have too much fun doing this.”
In an era where political disagreement too often turns into dehumanization, the clip serves as a chilling reminder of how far some “activists” are willing to go — celebrating death while calling their side “peaceful.”
