The purported post, labeled “Funeral idea #2,” described a scenario where the organist repeatedly played the tune while mourners sat in “silent, horrified anticipation.”

The remarks, widely viewed as mocking, triggered immediate backlash across platforms, including X and Instagram.

Many users condemned the singer’s alleged comments as cruel and disrespectful toward Kirk’s grieving family and supporters. “You are a sick and disgusting excuse for a human being,” one person wrote on X, adding, “I pity your children that they have you as a parent. I pray no one you love is ever murdered and no one mocks them as you have Charlie Kirk. Shame on you.”

Another Instagram user expressed similar outrage, writing, “The Internet saw the posts you shared. Shame on you.”

Others called, “This is horrible!!! Makes me so sad that our country has become so cold.”

Some critics also expressed personal disappointment, with one comment reading, “Well that's horrifying and she deserves what she deserves.”

“One person sneered, ‘She really posted this? This is disgusting.’ Another piled on, writing, ‘@Pinkhas not one good quality. She’s rotten throughout. Always has been.’”

Although the post in question was deleted, screenshots continue to circulate widely, keeping the controversy alive and fueling debate online. As of now, Pink has not released a public statement addressing the uproar or clarifying whether the post originated from her account.

Tens of thousands of people filled State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on September 21 to pay tribute to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder who was fatally shot on September 10.

The memorial became a heartfelt blend of worship and patriotism, with mourners uniting their voices in song.

The entire stadium joined in singing “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood, a song often performed at major national events. The scene, captured on video and widely shared online, reflected both grief and a deep sense of unity among Kirk’s supporters.
