Fatima Payman declares that Charlie Kirk was an 'awful person'

Senator Fatima Payman has described Charlie Kirk as an 'awful person' in a video in which she appears to make light of his assassination.

Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two and controversial conservative commentator, was shot in the neck last week during a rally at Utah Valley University. He died a short time later.

The independent senator for WA responded to Kirk's death in a live TikTok video, recorded at some point over the last week.

'What do I think about Charlie Kirk and obviously his assassination?', she told her nearly 195,000 followers.

‘I think he was a pretty awful person and he doesn’t deserve all the recognition he’s getting.’
