Grieving widow Erika Kirk was “genuinely rattled” after feminist website Jezebel published an unsettling story bragging how the author paid witches on Etsy to curse her husband, Charlie, just two days before the conservative icon was assassinated, Megyn Kelly revealed Tuesday.
Kelly ripped the lefty outlet for publishing the “vile” article, which left the couple shaken and seeking prayer from a Catholic priest the night before the right-wing influencer was gunned down in Utah on Sept. 10.
“This is what I want you all, and the people at Jezebel and Etsy, to know,” Kelly seethed on her SiriusXM show.

She knew Christian teaching on the subject, she loved Charlie, absolutely, and she was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up.”
The twisted Sept. 8 Jezebel article slammed the 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder as a “far-right misogynist,” with the unnamed reporter detailing how she paid witches on the global online marketplace for “multiple curses” to punish him for his “years of regressive rhetoric.”
Two days later, alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, fired a single fatal bullet that pierced the father of two’s neck while he spoke to thousands during the first stop of his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University in Orem.

“Why do this vile thing to a young couple, parents to two babies living in accordance with the gospel, deeply in love, and yes, political, but doing nothing other than speaking publicly about their views and their desires to make other people’s lives better,” she continued.
Megyn Kelly slammed Jezebel and Etsy for “introducing this awfulness” into the married couple’s lives. Getty Images for TIME“Who would do such a vile thing? Jezebel, that’s who, and unbelievably, Etsy. And the people behind this evil should be called out.”
The feminist publication immediately added an editor’s note to the shocking story condemning the heinous act of violence after the close ally of President Trump was killed — but has since removed the article from its website.
Kelly also called on both entities to issue apologies to Erika Kirk. Instagram/mrserikakirkKelly called on the outlet to shutter and identify the female reporter behind the concerning article, and urged Etsy to stop allowing witches to sell curses and return to “arts and crafts and jewelry.”
“Both entities should issue an immediate full-throated apology to Erika Kirk for introducing this awfulness into her beautiful family and causing her or Charlie any distress whatsoever in what would be the waning hours of his life,” a livid Kelly fumed.
