A single photo from Charlie Kirk's memorial turned 120,000 people against young influencer

https://www.9news.com.au/world/charlie-kirk-memorial-hannah-brown-tiktok-scandal/17d1fd9c-887e-4ecd-a909-93bbae949d5b

Hannah Brown, who goes by the handle @.hannahbrown on the app, was best known for her comedic skits about working in the service industry.

That changed when another TikTok user shared a photo of Brown at the Kirk memorial to the platform earlier this week.

The image, which appeared to be taken from a broadcast of the memorial, showed Brown sitting in the front row of one section looking tearful.
A video of TikTok user @bradleychicago reacting to the photo went viral soon after, amassing more than 4 million views and counting.

Though she rarely mentions politics online, many fans believed Brown had liberal or left-leaning views and were shocked to discover she had attended the memorial.


Brown responded to the backlash in a video posted on Wednesday, where she rejected the speculation about her political views.
"First of all, I am not MAGA. I was not at a MAGA rally," she said.

My social feeds are full of leftists and I didn't see 100s of people celebrating his death.

This will make the rounds in MAGAworld and she will get a whole new list of subscribers.

Because it is all about owning the libs for them.

Did she miss the pyrotechnics and Cantaloupe Caligula blaming the left for Kirk's death? It was most definitely a MAGA rally.

..."Weren't you with him? I saw you with Jesus in the Garden!"

Three times Peter denied being Jesus' best pal for years...and then the rooster crowed.

"First of all, I am not MAGA. I was not at a MAGA rally," she said. Hey liar? We saw the video. That so called "memorial service" was 100% a MAGA rally. Not a single family member or friend who was not a politician or political operative spoke except his wife. Every single speaker was either a MAGA politician or a MAGA operative and they all spouted MAGA nonsense. If you truly were not MAGA, you could have gotten up and walked out as soon as it became obvious that every speaker was spouting MAGA nonsense.

Then you lied about being so disturbed because so many people were "celebrating" Kirk's death. Didn't happen. Repeating Kirk's own words is not celebrating his death.

I've been unable to verify where she is from, but it doesn't appear she is from Phoenix. So she expects people to believe she traveled all the way to Phoenix and somehow got in the front row for a memorial for someone whose politics she disagrees with? I don't think so. She tried to keep her MAGA support secret because she knew it would cost her tons of followers. She was just stupid and assumed nobody would know she attended.
