CBS Sports reporter Ashley Nicole Moss whined about people supposedly showing more sympathy for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk than for black people who get killed by police.
Moss showed no sympathy toward Kirk following his assassination and instead made his death about black people getting shot by police. She also complained that the Green Bay Packers and the National Football League (NFL) held a moment of silence for Kirk.
āPolitics donāt belong in sports, though, right?ā Moss wrote on X.
After the NFLās moment of silence, she then lamented how Americans somehow do not have āthe same level of compassionā for black people when they are shot by police.
āJust wish yāall had that same level of compassion for human life when Black people were getting gunned down at the hands of law enforcement every other week vs. saying āthey deserved it because they didnāt listen,āā Moss wrote.
Unlike when George Floyd died, conservatives and other mourners of Kirk have not rioted or set anything ablaze. Instead, vigils have been held across the U.S. to pray and peacefully mourn for Kirk. In 2024, police killed 445 white people and 227 black people, according to Statista.
Some liberals have celebrated Kirkās death, including a University of Michigan assistant professor, Charles H.F. Davis, who stated publicly that Kirkās assassination is a āsolutionā to āviolent rhetoric spewed by empowered people.ā He did not name a single example of any so-called violent rhetoric made by Kirk.
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) also fired its assistant dean, Laura Sosh-Lightsy, for writing on Facebook that she had āzero sympathyā for Kirk.
