DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – A Democratic Congressional candidate in Michigan is under fire after posting a video ridiculing Charlie Kirk’s assassination and laughing that “MAGA…can’t get your person back.”

Shelby Campbell, a 31-year-old Democrat running to replace Rep. Shri Thanedar (D) in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District in Wayne County and Detroit, posted a video of her laughing after she compares Jimmy Kimmel’s reinstatement to the airwaves to Charlie Kirk’s public murder.

“Hey, MAGA. How bad does it hurt that Jimmy Kimmel is back but you guys can’t get your person back?”

Campbell’s video compares the suspension and subsequent reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves after lying about Kirk’s assassin and claiming he was MAGA. By the time Kimmel made those remarks on the air, law enforcement had already established that Kirk’s 22-year-old alleged murderer hated conservatives and was living with a gender-confused man who dressed up as animals, also known as a “furry.”

Campbell’s profile on X boasts that she “cannot wait to advocate for the people!” In addition, she doubled-down on people who criticized her video, saying, “Again, let me know if you want to go live and have a conversation to see how mentally unstable I am.”

 

 

According to Campbell’s Act Blue fundraising page, she is a single mom, former assembly line worker, and third-generation UAW member. “I’ve served tables, raised my boys, and fought through broken systems built to leave people like us behind.”

In a sharp contrast from the video she posted, Campbell said, “My campaign is about community over corporations, compassion over cruelty, and people over profit.”
