Performer Bob Vylan celebrated the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a performance, shouting vile insults from the stage as he referred to the Turning Point USA founder as a “piece of s***” and worse.

Vylan — who recently made headlines for chanting “Death to the IDF” from the stage at Glastonbury’s famed music festival — trashed Kirk from a stage adorned with a Palestinian flag, saying he’d deserved to get shot.

“I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of s*** of a human being,” he began, pacing back and forth across the stage.

“The pronouns: Was/Were,” he said, prompting cheers from the audience. “‘Cos if you talk s***, you will get banged. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk, you piece of s***.”

He made a shooting gesture with his hand and then proceeded to dance around the stage as the crowd cheered some more.

Vylan prompted backlash after his Glastonbury performance when he led chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death to the IDF” during the show in June. Police in the United Kingdom even considered formal charges against him at the time.

“We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon,” Avon and Somerset Police said in a post on X. “Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.”

Festival officials rebuked Vylan in a statement, saying, “We are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.”

President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed the “radical left” for blocking national healing.

“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said told NBC News. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”

Trump survived at least two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign. His comments echo some the president made Thursday about “lunatics” on the “radical left.” The president said he is focused on addressing violence on the left.

“I’m really concerned for our country. We have a great country. We have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics, and we’re going to get that problem solved. I’m only concerned for the country,” the president said while leaving the White House.

The president has urged supporters and followers of Charlie Kirk, the GOP activist and founder of Turning Point USA who was assassinated on Wednesday, to respond with “nonviolence.” Numerous prayer vigils and memorials for Kirk have been held across the country in the wake of his slaying.

Mounting evidence suggests that Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of Charlie Kirk, targeted the conservative pundit over politics. The shooter’s weapon, found stashed nearby the event at Utah Valley University where Kirk was killed, contained bullets with anti-fascist slogans and phrases written on the casings.

One of the messages read, “Hey Fascist! Catch!” Another included the lyrics from a famous Italian anti-fascist song called “Bella Ciao.”

GOP Governor Spencer Cox of Utah said on Saturday that Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”

Law enforcement interviews with the suspect’s family members have revealed that Robinson had grown increasingly political in recent years and that he knew of and disliked Kirk in particular. At one recent dinner, Robinson had mentioned that Kirk planned to do an event at Utah Valley University.

The event was one of Kirk’s well-known college campus open debates during which the conservative commentator would invite anyone who disagreed with his opinions to challenge him.

Family members told authorities that Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, had become increasingly political in recent years. The suspect disliked Kirk in particular; at a recent dinner, he spoke of how much he disliked and disagreed with Kirk while also mentioning that the conservative planned to visit Utah soon for an event at Utah Valley University.
