PHNX Sports’ lead writer for their Phoenix Suns coverage is alleging that assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk lived a life that was dedicated to “hateful rhetoric,” and that he refuses to “mourn” a “bigot spreading genocidal propaganda.”

While at a speaking event Wednesday at Utah Valley University, Kirk was murdered after being shot by an assassin. He was sent to a local hospital in Utah, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder passed away due to his wounds. (RELATED: Sports World Honors Charlie Kirk After Assassination)

In several Twitter posts, Gerald Bourguet, PHNX Sports’ lead Suns writer, alleges that Kirk spread hate on a “daily basis.”

“‘Political differences’ are not the same thing as spewing hateful rhetoric on a daily basis, and refusing to mourn a life devoted to that cause is not the same thing as celebrating gun violence,” wrote Bourguet. “Just so we’re 100% clear on that.”

Afterwards, Bourguet criticized people who are sympathetic about Kirk over him being a father.

“He was a father,” posted Bourguet. “Half of y’all didn’t give a DAMN about doing anything to stop gun violence when the victims of mass shootings were LITERAL children. And those kids weren’t bigots spreading genocidal propaganda, or a mindset he directly fed into with this Holy Grail of Ironies.”

“If you’re saddened by today’s ‘political violence,’ horrified by the video, or repulsed by my response, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to school shootings, mass deportations or the HUNDREDS of videos of horrific murders in Gaza (which Kirk cheered on),” continued Bourguet.

“Truly don’t care if you think it’s insensitive or poor timing to decline to respect an evil man who died. Too many of you are more concerned with being polite and *appearing* to be good people rather than showing some damn backbone and standing on principle to condemn hate.”
