From Fox News: A Democrat running to be the top law enforcement official in the state of Ohio is facing backlash for a series of social media posts disparaging Charlie Kirk in the days after the conservative activist was assassinated.
“F*** Charlie Kirk,” Elliot Forhan, Ohio Democratic candidate for attorney general and former state representative, posted on Facebook on Monday, days after Kirk was gunned down while speaking to a large gathering of students at a Utah university.
“Charlie Kirk was a champion of tyranny, not democracy,” Forhan said in another post. “We should not pretend otherwise.”
In another Facebook entry, Forhan shared an article with the headline, “Charlie Kirk was a champion of tyranny, not democracy. We should not pretend otherwise.”
As of this report, Forhan has not even had the decency to remove the posts. They are still up on his Facebook page:
Forhan’s vile comments have prompted massive backlash.
Ohio’s current attorney general, Republican Dave Yost, said in a statement to Fox News, “No public servant should say that about any human being, much less somebody who was just assassinated. He just proved himself to be a petulant and undisciplined child, ill-suited to public office.”
Political commentator Mehek Cooke reacted, “Hey Ohio! Elliot Forhan, Democrat candidate for Ohio Attorney General, responded to Charlie Kirk’s assassination with “F*** Charlie Kirk.” A man running to be Ohio’s top law enforcement officer celebrating murder? That’s not leadership—it’s moral rot. He must withdraw from the race.”

Ohio State Rep. Josh Williams, who is running for US Congress, wrote, “Elliot Forhan isn’t some random, fringe candidate. He served with me in the Ohio House of Representatives and is the frontrunner to be the Democrat nominee for Attorney General in our state. These are the types of candidates Democrats are producing right here in Ohio.”
