Chiefs owner's wife slams Charlie Kirk critics celebrating his assassination

Those dismissing or celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder are only revealing their own shortcomings, according to a viral Instagram post from the wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.

'When a man's life ended in public for having different beliefs, leaving a wife without a husband and 2 children without a father and you dismiss it or celebrate it, that has nothing to do with who he was, that is a reflection of who you are,' Tavia Hunt wrote on Instagram.

She was specifically responding to a Libs of TikTok post revealing comments by a University of Kansas employee about the slain conservative podcaster. The student access center staffer claimed the pro-second amendment Kirk is 'better in the ground as worm food than up here preaching that murdered children are a necessary sacrifice for 2A rights.'

The comment appeared to reference something Kirk said in 2023, when he argued that some gun deaths are 'worth it' for Americans to have firearm protections under the second amendment.

The University employee's comment was shared by Libs of TikTok and reposted by Tavia, who received a positive reception for her response. 

'Glad someone's standing up for the victims here,' one supporter wrote online. 

Another added: 'Celebrating loss of life is never the answer.'

Tavia has since shared a Fox News post trumpeting her comment. The re-post included her quote, a photo of herself and the handle of her makeup artist.

In addition to their philanthropic efforts, like donating to disaster relief funds, the Hunts are also major Republican donors with a history of supporting conservatives like Senator Ted Cruz (Republican — Texas) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Much like Kirk, Tavia's social media presence centers on her Christian faith. The 54-year-old mother of three frequently shares bible quotes and prayers before each Chiefs game.
