Jay Leno said the murder of Charlie Kirk is “the death of free speech.”
Leno, the former host of “The Tonight Show,” called into Tim Conway Jr.’s radio show Wednesday, the day of Kirk’s death.
“It’s not a random shooting,” Leno told Conway. “It’s a death of free speech. And to think that you are so illiterate and so stupid that you can’t answer verbally, that you have to shoot somebody with a gun to quote win the argument.”
He said he remembers when he was in school, political debates were “lively,” adding that school shootings are “stupid.”
“But this is a political assassination of a man I didn’t necessarily agree with, but I certainly enjoyed listening to because, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that.’ I don’t have to agree on everything,” Leno said. “We’re in a point in this country where if you don’t agree with everybody and everything, you take out a gun and you shoot them, and especially on a college campus?”
