Political commentators and analysts on Sunday slammed the MAGA-led memorial service for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk was killed almost two weeks ago when he was struck by a single bullet while speaking at a Utah university campus, while giving a speech. His death has become a political flashpoint, with conservatives seeking to lionize Kirk while some Democrats have criticized some of Kirk's ideas.

A memorial service for Kirk was held in his hometown of Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. It was attended by multiple high-profile MAGA members like President Donald Trump, his son Donald Jr., and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Several left-wing commentators and analysts responded to the memorial service on social media. "MAGA is a cult," left-wing analyst Wajahat Ali posted on Bluesky. "Normies around the world, the majority, rightfully look at them as unhinged. We have the numbers. Don't bow down or be silenced. Also, don't make Charlie Kirk into a saint. Use your free speech to accurately call out his life that was lived in hate."

"Thing about this is that Charlie Kirk *was* a racist transphobic neonazi creep," podcaster Andrew Hickey posted on Bluesky. "Also misogynist and antisemitic. He was pure distilled hatred and evil. It's bad that he was shot, but that doesn't mean he was any less of a monster."
