Joel Webbon rejects blaming Jews for mockery of Charlie Kirk's death

Aug 19, 2026

A fight inside the American right over who to blame for online celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder is pulling antisemitism into the open, and pushing back on it is now a live dividing line.

  • Pastor Joel Webbon argues the people mocking Kirk's killing online were largely white Americans, not Jews.
  • The pushback targets a growing habit on parts of the right of pinning any hostile reaction on Jewish people.
  • Kirk's murder has become a flashpoint, with viral clips of people laughing at his death fueling the anger.
  • The dispute is less about Kirk himself than about how far antisemitic framing spreads inside conservative media.

Outlook: Expect the split over antisemitism on the right to keep widening as Kirk's death stays a rallying point.
