Jamie Lee Curtis became emotional in Marc Maron’s podcast “WTF” when she was over the Death of the right activist Charlie Kirk Bung thought. “I am now putting it on because I’m just going around in my head,” said Curtis. “Charlie Crist was killed two days ago.” Maron immediately corrected: “Kirk, not Crist.”
“A father, a husband, a man of faith”
“Sorry, Kirk,” continued Curtis. “I probably call him Crist, because of Christian, because of his deep faith.” The actress, who has supported leftists for years, began to cry.
“I didn’t agree with almost every point he said,” she said. “But I think he was a man of faith, and I hope that at the moment he died when he died. Even if his ideas were hideous for me, I still believe that he was a father, a husband and a believing person. And I hope that he felt a connection to God in his last second.”
Curtis explained that her tears were not for politics, but the sheer force of the news situation. “Yesterday was September 11th,” she said. “I know that there are video recordings of his murder. I know people who saw it. And at the same time the pictures of the collapsing towers ran over the screens again.”
“We are over -saturated with pictures of horror”
“Today we are bombarded with pictures as a society,” continued Curtis. “We do not know what it means in the long term when we see these towers collapsed again and again or look at the shooting of this man again and again. We do not know enough about what that does with us. I never want to see these recordings.”
She recalled that John F. Kennedy was murdered exactly five years after her birthday. “I am connected to this terrible date – someone who is shot on TV,” she said. “Such pictures shape us, even if we don’t notice it.”
“We are dull, but the pictures are within us,” added Curtis. “Perhaps this is the reason why we all feel this feeling of a lack of humanity – because we are over -saturated by such pictures.”
Charlie Kirk was shot last week during a speech at Utah Valley University in Orem, Uem. The co -founder of Turning Point USA, who wanted to spread conservative values in schools, was only 31 years old. A suspected shooter is in custody, but does not cooperate with the authorities, according to Utah’s governor Spencer Cox.
