India, Sept. 12 -- Dean Withers, a 21-year-old liberal commentator known for debating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has posted a viral video calling his assassination "abhorrent."

In a TikTok post, Withers appeared visibly distraught, admitting he cried on a livestream when he first heard of Kirk's death.

According to Khaleej Times, Withers was quoted as saying that gun violence is not something one can ever celebrate. "It is always disgusting, always vile, and always abhorrent," he noted.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Authorities described the incident as a "targeted attack," with the shooter firing from a nearby rooftop.
