Controversial Comments by Destiny Following Charlie Kirk’s Death
Streamer Steven Bonnell, known as Destiny, has stirred up quite a bit of controversy lately, especially after making some alarming comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It seems like he can’t refrain from voicing his opinions.
Bonnell remarked, “This Charlie Kirk ‘Memorial’ is indistinguishable from a Nazi rally, and anyone who pretends otherwise is mistaken.” He shared this on social media, sparking conversation.
He added, “We should be concerned that conservatives will face violence at events, which might prompt them to look to their leadership for guidance. But as it stands, they don’t seem to feel that fear.”
During a segment, host Pat Gray responded with surprise, asking, “Was that later?” to which he exclaimed, “Holy Cow.”
This wasn’t Bonnell’s first instance of using provocative language; he has a history of it. He followed up with comments dismissing concerns for individuals caught up in violent situations at rallies, suggesting that he felt indifferent about their safety.
Bonnell expressed a rather extreme sentiment: “The world would be better off without certain figures on these platforms. Thankfully, the likes of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Tim Poole won’t be heard from publicly again.”
Despite the backlash, his fans on the left seem to gravitate toward this rhetoric, and he has not faced any serious repercussions for his comments.
Interestingly, at an event he hosted, attendees maintained that “Charlie Kirk’s life is important,” showing that discourse around this topic can be quite polarizing. In a seemingly unrelated comment, a supporter remarked on the public’s lack of rioting in response to Kirk’s death, contrasting it with reactions to George Floyd’s death.
Bonnell reacted, saying, “It’s curious how you choose to overlook the radical left’s influence over the last two decades, which, in his view, has significantly impacted events like Kirk’s death.”
As the event honoring Charlie Kirk prepares to draw a large audience, Gray seemed skeptical, suggesting, “24 people might show up.”
Executive producer Keith Marinack chuckled, adding, “Most people are probably there to oppose him.”
