Video Trevor Noah says it's 'funny' that Charlie Kirk got shot while defending guns Comedian Trevor Noah said he found it "funny" that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot while defending guns during a recent set at the Comedy Cellar in New York City.
Comedian Pete Davidson faced backlash after an explicit rant on Sunday during Netflix’s "The Roast of Kevin Hart" at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
"Tony Hinchcliffe is here, looking like both a child molester, and the doll they give the child to show where he touched them," Davidson said of the fellow comedian.
He continued, saying, "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat."

One X user wrote on Sunday, "Anything goes in comedy, but this ain’t it. Charlie was murdered just 8 months ago and we wonder why people have become so desensitized to political violence."
Another user wrote, "Pete Davidson just showed what kind of person he is. Pathetic, sick, no decency. He has a right to say it and I have a right to criticize him and never listen to him ever again."
In a Monday X post, another user said, "What makes this even worse is that he lost his father on 9/11. He understands the pain of growing up without a dad, but he’s joking about a man whose children will now grow up without theirs."
