progressive U.S.-based website paid online witches to curse conservative activist Charlie Kirk days before he was fatally shot during a student question-and-answer session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Why It Matters
Political figures from both sides, including former President Barack Obama along with other prominent Democratic leaders have condemned the shooting of Turning Point USA co-founder Kirk but the article published by online magazine Jezebel, which has also since condemned the shooting, is likely to stir anger.
What To Know
The Jezebel article, titled "We paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" was published on Monday.
It is intended as a humorous, wry look at the reach and influence of the internet on our lives, saying that while Kirk, who built up a huge online following, is one of the "downsides" of the internet, it also has its "gifts."
"I can now buy a curse as easily as I can buy a phone charger. On the mystical website Etsy, you can find a spell for just about anything," the article says.
"These days, witches cater to more than just personal grudges. And it's not uncommon for them to channel their energy toward thwarting Republicans…Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he's shouted at America's youth and anyone within earshot? Here at Jezebel, we're about to find out if there's a spell for that."
As the writer sets about buying a suitable curse from an online witch on e-commerce site Etsy, they clearly state they do not want to harm Kirk.

What is all this nonsense being put forth.
A planned, deliberate coordinated assassination took place.
Shut up with witches hexed him idiocy.
Etsy is mystical? I thought it was hand-crafted stuff. Sounds like some “witches” are scamming idjits.

I agree.
Let’s get real. This is stupid.
My comment was meant for you.
I agree.
Let’s get real. This is stupid.
Lol. Can’t get it right.
You wrote the comment, it was directed to Nickcarraway. I thought he wrote it.
Your comment is good.
Jeez, what a load. Boycott Halloween, then.
To my knowledge Etsy is an online sales platform.
Yeah it is stupid.
Every Sunday and frequently at least once a week in between!
What comment? I didn’t make one.
Yes it got confusing but he was replying to my #2.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Liberal Website Paid Witches to Hex Charlie Kirk Days Before Assassination, Governor Dinwiddie wrote: Godly people are not affected by demons, try as the demons might. Keep your spiritual armor in good repair! Amen. God is far mightier than those who seek evil, dress up and prance around caultrons.
To me, the story about the witches is proof this was a planned hit and people knew about it ahead of time. THere are some Tweets of people saying ‘something big’ was going to happen at Charlie Kirk’s speech, some people wishing online that he would ‘vaporise’ the day he was to speak, and the whole ‘witches’ thing is to give that trash more credibility than it deserves. They knew about the hit in advance and therefore bragged they put a ‘curse’ on him.
I’ve done searches for error coins, and remember a bunch of etsy stuff coming up...coins that were obviously just “parking lot coins,” with exorbitant asking prices. I guess you only have to find the right sucker.

Regards,
Spells, hexes and curses- It’s what b*tches only wish they could do.
100% Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do. Charlie knew his enemies. He walked among them and tried to save as many as he could. Now let us comfort his family, loved ones, each other in Hope, Peace, Love, Faith.
This is what they hate, Love. They just can’t make us hate them. Like Charlie, we just want to save them because our love for them is stronger than their hate.
