Amanda Seyfried told Who What Wear on her press tour for The Testament of Ann Lee that she refuses to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk hateful after the Turning Point USA co-founder was shot and killed earlier this year.
Im not fucking apologizing for that, Seyfried said. I mean, for fucks sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and Im free to have an opinion, of course. Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualizedwhich is what people do, of course.

(48 posts)What is the most hateful thing Charlie Kirk said?
IbogaProject
(5,518 posts)He said many doozies over his insipid career.
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that it does a lot of damage."
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
"I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it," Kirk said. "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."
He also said that women should get married as young as possible and have lots of kids otherwise they become bitter and undermine society and that every single word of the Bible is literally true.

It's like their hero, who spoke to the Reichstag 1 Sept 1939
I have now put on the same uniform that was once my dearest and holiest. I will only take it off after the victory, or else I will not live to see that end.
Prophets, they are.
And hateful.

I guess they think he was on a mission to recruit young males, and turning him into a dashboard Jesus means his "good work can continue."
