A transgender author fired from writing a prestigious comic book after belittling Charlie Kirk’s murder has now mocked the late conservative star’s appearance.
Gretchen Felker-Martin took to her Patreon crowdfunding website to defend writing ‘[I] hope the bullet’s OK’ after Kirk’s murder last Wednesday.
She wrote: ‘I had spent years smelling traces of the poison fumes he left in his wake, seeing his sneering face, his mouth full of teeth like baby corns and gums like congealed aspic.’
Felker-Martin – who previously spoke of her desire to slit Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s throat over the novelist’s views on transgender women – had her Red Hood series axed by publisher DC in the wake of her initial comments about Kirk.
The first issue of the Batman spinoff had just been published, with subsequent editions canceled and retailers asked to withdraw the debut comic from sale in return for refunds.
Felker-Martin wrote on her Patreon that making a ‘glib joke’ in the wake of Kirk’s assassination was ‘irresistible’.
She claimed that she did so in response to Kirk’s promotion of ‘violent white supremacy’ and the ‘brutal oppression of those he considered undesirable’.
Despite claiming to abhor violence, Felker-Martin spoke of her desire to murder JK Rowling on Twitter and included a scene in her novel Manhunt where Rowling was burned to death.
She also previously hailed what she claimed was Osama Bin Laden’s ‘principled’ destruction’ of the Twin Towers on 9/11.
Felker-Martin published her Patreon essay two days after she went viral for appearing to praise his assassination.
She denounced Kirk’s ‘violent hypocrisy’ and ‘cruelty’, while also spewing her own hateful rhetoric against the slain activist.
She refused to retract her criticisms, doubled down on her remarks and argued that even though Kirk is dead his ‘cruelty will linger like a bad smell for decades to come’.
‘What I regret is that I didn’t take that cruelty more seriously in a moment when people were ready to discuss it, to unpack how violence is done, and why, and at whose behest,’ Felker-Martin added.
Asked about Felker-Martin’s remarks, her former publisher DC Comics told the Daily Mail: ‘At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints.
‘Posts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct.’
DC also revealed it will also offer refunds on copies of the comic that have already been sold.
Felker-Martin’s commentary on Kirk comes just two years after she was thrust into the spotlight for accusing a series of writers – including Rowling – of transphobia.
‘If they all had one throat, man,’ she tweeted in February 2023.
The tweet came after she decried the murder of British transgender teenager Brianna Ghey 16, and suggested Rowling and her ilk had stoked violence which led to the killing.
Rowling’s opinion that some aspects of transgender rights threaten the safety and equality of biological women has angered Fetcher-Martin and her progressive ilk.
The Harry Potter author’s views are in line with public opinion on issues including whether transgender women should be allowed to compete against biological women in sports or access female-only spaces including domestic abuse shelters.
In August 2020, Felker-Martin also wrote a tweet seemingly justifying the September 11 attacks.
‘Can pretty safely state that bin Laden and I did not, uh, agree on much, but blowing up the World Trade Center is probably the most principled and defensible thing he did,’ Felker-Martin said.
The author appeared to realize she had gone too far after that outburst, deleting the tweet and subsequently apologizing.
‘The huge crime of 9/11 is that the s*** we do every day overseas gets done to us exactly once,’ she said.
