Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for Turning Point USA, criticized comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk made by Jennifer Welch and Dave Chappelle, according to a report from Fox News. The report's headline describes those comments as mocking the murder.

Fox News reported that Kolvet criticized an apology issued by Welch and Angie Sullivan, calling it "narcissistic." The report's summary does not describe the contents of that apology, the statement it responded to, or when it was issued.

Separately, according to the same report, Kolvet said Chappelle's remarks about Kirk were deeply disappointing. The summary does not quote Chappelle or describe the remarks in detail.

The report's summary does not indicate whether Welch, Sullivan, or Chappelle responded to Kolvet's criticism. It also does not indicate whether any of the four named individuals has made a further public statement on the matter.

Neither the headline nor the summary describes the circumstances of Kirk's murder, and this story does not report on them. The summary describes Kolvet's remarks in general terms, and the exact wording of the criticism appears only in the report itself.

The account in this story is limited to the title and summary of the Fox News report. No other outlet's reporting was consulted, so each statement is presented as Fox News attributed it to Kolvet or to its own headline.
