Michael Che Mocks Charlie Kirk Killing in Netflix Special, Repeatedly Uses R-Word

Summary
Netflix special "Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota" opens with Che joking about Charlie Kirk’s killing, including a line comparing his mood to Kirk’s widow and a riff about mistaking the victim for "Captain Kirk."
Che then pivots to Donald Trump and his supporters, repeatedly using the R-word and arguing Trump rose because opponents lacked the language to describe him, calling the president a "r----- whisperer."
The special was taped at First Avenue in Minneapolis, where Che also tied the slur to local politics, saying Minnesota was always "fighting some group" trying to take rights away.
Later segments move away from politics into aging, drinking, relationships, sex and fatherhood, ending with a joke that imagines God as an absent parent.
Fox News Digital said it sought comment from Che but had not received an immediate response.
