Jamie Lee Curtis fought through tears to make the remarks on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast
The actress has made poignant comments about the mu:r:der of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, remarking on how watching viral videos of the incident could affect our psyche.
On September 10, Kirk, 31, was f:atally sh:0t during an outdoor speaking event at an educational institute in Utah.
An investigation into his assa:ssin:ation is still ongoing, as per FBI officials.
Recently, in an interview with Marc Maron on his WTF podcast, Knives Out actress Jamie Lee Curtis condemned the shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University.
“I’m going to bring something up with you just because it’s front of mind,” the Freakier Friday star said on the episode, published on Sunday (September 15).
After that, she mistakenly named the Turning Point USA founder as ‘Charlie Crist’, claiming it was a slip-up due to his ‘deep, deep belief’ in religion.
“I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected with his faith,” Curtis continued.
“Even though his ideas were abhorrent to me. I still believe he’s a father and a husband and a man of faith. And I hope whatever connection to God means that he felt it.”
Fighting tears, the 66-year-old said that she recognized there was a video of his assassination circulating on the internet, and that she knew people who had watched it.
“Yesterday [on 9/11], we watched again these images of those buildings coming down. … Today, we as a society are bombarded with imagery. So we don’t know what the longitudinal effects of seeing those towers come down over and over and over and over again, or watching his execution over and over and over again.”
