Justin Bieber has sparked online debate after posting about “family values” days after Charlie Kirk’s death. The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University last week.
Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, linking his DNA to the rifle used in the attack. Investigators also found a note referencing plans to “take out Charlie Kirk.”
Vice President JD Vance hosted a special podcast tribute, calling on Americans to unite. “I’m desperate for our country to be united in condemnation,” he said. Stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Josh Duhamel urged followers to reject political violence.
Bieber’s Instagram post featured framed statements like, “We value HUMAN beings and believe in their dignity.” Some fans accused him of ignoring Kirk’s assassination. “SAY HIS BEAUTIFUL NAME!” one follower wrote. Others defended him, noting he may have prayed privately.
Do you think celebrities have a duty to comment on political violence — or should they keep their grief private?
