In the latest episode of his "I Am Rapaport" podcast, the comedian and actor denounced those celebrating Kirk's killing and warned that political violence and other consequences could affect any of them. 

"And for anybody to think that you can go online and say, 'Yeah, I'm happy about what happened,' and 'Yeah, I support what happened to Charlie Kirk,' and excuse it and laugh about it and belittle -- I'm saying this with all due respect and no malice, anybody can get touched in a way that we do not want to get touched," he said.

"The murder, assassination, killing of Charlie Kirk in front of the world is - that was terrible," he said.

He then went on to criticize any public figures who would revel in the conservative activist's death. 

"Any public person that would, in any way, shape, or form, support, laugh at, excuse, the public killing of Charlie Kirk, is sick. Really, really, really twisted," Rapaport said. 

He warned public figures that they have "no control" over how the public interprets their words or online statements, so they need to watch what they say.

"So, if you're a news broadcaster, or a pundit, you have a social media platform or all the options that are available today, and in any way, shape, or form, you excuse or belittle that this man was shot in cold blood in public, it could -- and can be -- any one of us."

He reiterated that there is "no excuse" for celebrating Kirk's assassination. 

"It's 500% unacceptable," he declared. "And I am saying that as somebody who I know is brash and I know I talk my s---, and I know I've been offensive."

The comedian continued, "So to not fully condemn what happened to Charlie Kirk is unacceptable, 'cause God forbid it'd happen to you."

"We don't know how we're affecting people. We don't know what kind of sick lunatics are out there."

Rapaport also pushed back on the idea that one political group in particular is celebrating Kirk's death.
