Brittany Mahomes' Enigmatic Post on Hatred Surfaces After Charlie Kirk's Shooting
Brittany Mahomes appears to have weighed in on the passing of Charlie Kirk.
The 30-year-old Mahomes posted a somewhat enigmatic message concerning hatred on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, September 11.
The message stated, “Hatred will not resolve our current predicament.” It continued, “While your emotions may deceive you into believing otherwise, hate lacks the capacity to mend or construct, capable only of inflicting damage or devastation.”
Sharon McMahon, the author who originally shared the post, included in her caption, “Evidence throughout history demonstrates that hate consumes all it encounters. It annihilates societies, countries, and those who employ it. To achieve an alternative outcome, we must select a different course.”

Although Kirk was not explicitly named in the post, it surfaced a day following the conservative political commentator’s fatal shooting during an address at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old.
Numerous public figures, such as Chris Pratt, Jimmy Kimmel, and others, have subsequently commented on Kirk’s demise.
“My prayers are with Charlie Kirk, his wife, and young children, and our nation at this moment,” the 46-year-old Pratt shared on X. “We are in need of divine grace. May God assist us.”
“Rather than engaging in furious blame, could we perhaps agree for a single day that shooting another human being is a terrible and barbaric act?” the 57-year-old Kimmel posted on Instagram. “My family and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to the Kirks and to all the children, parents, and innocent individuals who tragically suffer from irrational gun violence.”
“There is no room for political aggression in our nation. We must denounce this appalling assault,” Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders stated on X. “My deepest sympathies are with Charlie Kirk and his loved ones.”
Footage disseminated across social media depicted a projectile seemingly striking Kirk as he responded to an attendee’s inquiry regarding firearms violence at the gathering on Wednesday, September 10. The assailant discharged a single round from roughly 200 yards distant, according to CNN’s report.
The originator of Turning Point USA was transported urgently to a nearby medical facility and subsequently declared deceased.
“It is with profound sorrow that we, the leadership collective of Turning Point USA, inform you that Charlie passed to his eternal rest with Jesus Christ in Heaven earlier this afternoon,” a declaration from Turning Point conveyed on Wednesday evening.

Former President Donald Trump similarly posted about Kirk’s passing on Truth Social.
“The remarkable, and indeed iconic, Charlie Kirk, has passed away,” he stated. “No individual comprehended or possessed the essence of America’s youth more profoundly than Charlie. He was cherished and respected by EVERYONE, particularly by me, and now, he is gone. Melania and I extend our condolences to his wonderful wife Erika, and his family. Charlie, we hold you in our hearts!”
Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika Kirk (born Frantzve) and their two children, a daughter aged 3 and a son who is 15 months old.
On Friday, September 12, the 79-year-old Trump disclosed that the individual responsible for Kirk’s shooting had been apprehended. The assailant was subsequently identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, as verified by a law enforcement representative, according to The Associated Press.
“Fundamentally, someone intimately connected to him reported his whereabouts,” Trump explained during an interview on Fox News. “Our photographic evidence was quite good, though not exceptional or flawless. An individual who knew him well recognized him and said, ‘Hmm, that’s him.’”
