NFL Bad Boy Chris Kluwe Celebrates Charlie Kirk’s Death In Shocking Online Rant

Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has never shied away from controversy, but his latest outburst has pushed him into uncharted and dangerous territory. Following the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah, Kluwe unleashed a tirade on Blue Sky that has left critics, supporters, and political observers stunned. His posts, ranging from “F-ck. Charlie. Kirk.” to mocking memes about Kirk’s final moments, have ignited a firestorm of debate about where free speech ends and reckless incitement begins. The NFL bad boy turned political activist has long been a polarizing figure, but his incendiary rhetoric is raising new questions about his judgment, his political aspirations, and the troubling intersection of sports celebrity and extreme activism.

Kluwe wasted no time responding to news of Kirk’s assassination. In one of his most blunt posts, he wrote, “F-ck. Charlie. Kirk. I’m tired of coddling Nazis.”

That sentiment was quickly followed by a series of mocking, meme-style posts, including one that read, “ ‘Hahaha yes! This rules!’ ‘what the f-ck ’”

The callous tone stunned many, with critics pointing out that his words came within hours of Kirk’s death. What might have been dismissed as tasteless shock humor instead looked like outright celebration of violence, a perception that is now dogging Kluwe as his comments continue to circulate online.

For those who have followed Kluwe’s post-NFL life, his behavior is nothing new. Earlier this year, he was arrested during a heated Huntington Beach City Council meeting after shouting that “MAGA is a Nazi movement” and refusing to yield the floor. The incident, which saw him forcibly removed by police, cost him a local high school coaching job, a firing he promptly challenged with a lawsuit.

Kluwe has also used his social media platforms to call for actions many deem irresponsible or dangerous. From suggesting that disgruntled Dodgers fans pelt the field with trash to encouraging followers to pull fire alarms at hotels housing federal agents, his pattern of incitement rages on.

Despite the uproar, no prominent Democratic leaders have spoken out against Kluwe’s remarks. That silence is striking given the gravity of his statements and the national attention Kirk’s assassination has garnered.

Kluwe is currently running for California’s 72nd Assembly District, and his campaign claims to have raised nearly $100,000. His unfiltered social media rants, far from sinking his political career, appear to be fueling his fundraising efforts. The lack of condemnation from Democratic leadership has led critics to accuse the party of tacitly endorsing his rhetoric by refusing to draw a line.

The backlash to Kluwe’s comments hasn’t been confined to conservatives. In fact, some Democrats in Orange County have expressed dismay at the former athlete’s celebratory tone.

One Democratic voter told The Blast exclusively, “I liked how he challenged MAGA right out of the gate because Orange County needs that. But this is just wrong. That kind of rhetoric, especially with what seems to be a gleeful attitude, is disgusting. There’s no place for that in politics.”

Another added, “I liked what he was standing up for in Huntington Beach, but after the whole Charlie Kirk thing, I started going back through his Blue Sky account, and honestly, it’s a little scary.”

If there’s one undeniable takeaway, it’s that Kluwe has mastered the art of shock politics. Every outrageous comment fuels headlines, which in turn drives fundraising and attention to his campaign. But this strategy is a double-edged sword. While controversy keeps him in the spotlight, it also risks alienating the very voters he needs to secure victory in California’s 72nd district.

As his campaign barrels forward, the question remains whether or not Kluwe is a fearless truth-teller challenging extremism, or a reckless agitator exploiting outrage for personal gain? What’s certain is that his Blue Sky tirades following Charlie Kirk’s death will follow him into the political arena. And with emotions running high on both sides of the aisle, the battle lines in his Assembly race have never been more sharply drawn.
