The United Nations condemned the execution, stating, “Alabama’s use of Kenneth Smith as a human guinea pig to test a new method of execution amounted to unethical human experimentation and was nothing short of State-sanctioned torture.” A month later, Turning Point USA founder, MLK hater, and Christian nationalist bamboozler Charlie Kirk said on his Thoughtcrime podcast that he wanted to see corporate-sponsored TV executions of Donald Trump’s political opponents: “It should be public. It should be quick. It should be televised…. You could sell, you could fund the government. You could have like, ‘brought to you by Coca-Cola.’ ” Kirk suggested that children should be made to watch public murder, and that such executions “should be taken in a holy way.”
