GMB viewers fume 'sack hosts' after 'shameful' Charlie Kirk memorial remark

Send Push

Good Morning Britain left viewers furious within the first 10 minutes of the show on Monday morning (September 22).

As they covered the memorial of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, they shared a video onto the GMB X page, it was captioned: "The widow of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk says she forgives his killer. Erika Kirk gave an emotional speech at a memorial service in Arizona overnight - just 11 days after he was assassinated at a university event in Utah."

However, the caption underneath the live footage read: "Charlie Kirk: Memorial held for far-right commentator", which is the same description that caused Susanna Reid to fume at Kevin Maguire last week.

Viewers immediately rushed to the comments to share their fury over the remark as one user wrote: "'Far right'. How wrong and disrespectful."

Another wrote: "Far right getting thrown around again."

Another said: "I really don't like the tone of this coverage, but that's this awful show for you." A third said: "That comment underneath is absolutely disgusting. Shame on you."

While another fumed they should "all be sacked".
