During the live-streamed roast on Sunday, Davidson turned his attention to fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and said:
“Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.”
Pete Davidson made a Charlie Kirk joke toward Tony Hinchcliffe and calls Ye a ‘gay Nazi’ during Kevin Hart’s roast.

The crude remark was a direct and deeply disturbing reference to the September 10 assassination of Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, where he was shot in the neck during a campus event.
The assassination was captured on video and immediately broadcast all over social media, where his young children will one day see it.
The audience reaction was immediate and audible, with gasps and scattered boos filling the venue as Davidson delivered the line.
Social media erupted almost instantly, with users across platforms condemning the joke as “shockingly deranged,” “gratuitous and cheap,” “zero % funny and 100% vile,” and reliant purely on shock value rather than actual comedy.
Many pointed out that Davidson himself has spoken publicly about the trauma of losing his father on 9/11 yet showed zero empathy for Kirk’s grieving young children.
