Vice President JD Vance responded to a question about the controversial joke comedian Pete Davidson made about the late far-right influencer and podcast Charlie Kirk during “The Roast of Kevin Hart.”
“Charlie was a very, very dear friend, but more importantly than that, Charlie was a father of two beautiful kids and he did not deserve to have all those moments with his kids, those moments with his beautiful wife taken from him in the way that that happened,” Vance said at Tuesday’s White House press briefing.
During Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart,” which premiered more than a week ago, Davidson compared comedian Tony Hinchcliffe to Kirk, saying, “Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”
Vance went on to say that people with different politics should talk it out and not shoot one another.
