Her response came after comedian Ryan Long shared a satirical video. The sketch mocking those who were engaging in the conversation without offending their fan base was subtitled “Actor Not Sure His Charlie Kirk Post Has En Enough Qualifiers” by him.
Although the video didn’t specifically target any particular stars, it appeared as though Anne was getting frustrated. It followed her earlier assertions that “I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before Wednesday night.”
You just said WHAT, and I guess the conversation would have ended where we had been. You’re talking about my friends, and “and” Scuse me.
She continued, “I join Bernie Sanders in deploring his murder.”
Her remarks received mixed responses. You’ve never heard of him, yet you make erroneous assumptions, one user said. If you take the time to listen, there is nothing in his words that is controversial.

Last week, Tyler Robinson allegedly used a bolt-action rifle to shoot the activist in the neck. According to reports, he is alleged to have carried out the murder from a nearby campus building’s roof. Robinson’s father recognized him from the CCTV footage that was released by authorities after a 33-hour manhunt and surrendered to the police.
