This post from Monday did not age well. As Twitchy has reported, Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot and killed at a Turning Point USA event on Wednesday at Utah Valley University. One student there had even posted on Tuesday that "something big will happen," and then he doubled down when people called him out on it: "It's so f**king deserved," he added.
On Monday, Jezebel, which we're surprised is still around, published a piece called, "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk."

Jezebel writes (there's no byline):
But the internet has its downsides. Exhibit A: Charlie Kirk. Maybe it’s his obsession with telling women what to do or his aggressively large head, but the far-right podcaster’s presence is more irritating than most. That’s when I remembered: there’s Etsy.
These days, witches cater to more than just personal grudges. And it’s not uncommon for them to channel their energy toward thwarting Republicans (there’s even a subreddit devoted to casting nightly hexes on Trump). Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he’s shouted at America’s youth and anyone within earshot? Here at Jezebel, we’re about to find out if there’s a spell for that.
…
Throughout history, society has branded bold and assertive women as witches to silence them. Since Kirk already assumes every liberal, college-educated woman is a feminist witch hellbent on destroying civilization—even recently declaring that the “Jezebel spirit has just infected an entire generation of young ladies” (shoutout!)—we’re reclaiming it. If Kirk wants a villain, I’m more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.

Jezebel has since added this worthless addendum:

This is the only engagement Jezebel ever gets, and they shut down replies.
