John Kennedy Rips Journalist Over Charlie Kirk Killer Report
"Once again, some people some people needs a shock collar. Touching? The guy just murdered another human being. And he is talking about it to his love interest, the senator said. I mean it reminded me of something my dog would bring up, touching? The guy murdered a human being. You know, I try to be tolerant of other points of view I really do. That wasn't touching and no fair minded person can call it touching."
"Some of this is the fault of the media. A lot of it is the fault of social media, Laura, in my opinion. I mean, let's face it, social media has lowered the cost of being appear a-hole, he said. People do things on social media that they would never do to each other's face. And it's become just rage bait."
Sen. John Kennedy criticized a report that described text messages sent by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to his romantic partner as "touching." Robinson has been charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk at a Utah college event. Kennedy told Laura Ingraham that labeling the messages as touching was inappropriate, suggested some reporters need a "shock collar," and blamed media and social media for lowering the cost of abusive behavior. Kennedy said social media encourages people to act like jerks and creates "rage bait." The reporter said he regretted unclear wording and unequivocally condemned the crime.
