An Etsy 'witch' who 'cursed' the late Charlie Kirk days before his death has issued a message to his wife, Erika Kirk.
Two days before conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on a Utah college campus, a feminist website ran a stunt piece about paying 'Etsy witches' to curse him.
Charlie had been addressing the 3,000-strong crowd during his American Comeback tour when he was struck in the neck by a gunshot and later died from his injuries.
Following a 33-hour FBI manhunt, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested under suspicion of the shooting.

Now, one of the Etsy witches who was hired to cast a spell on Kirk days before his assassination has said they 'regret any distress experienced.'
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly brought the story titled 'We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk' to light last week.
The article published by Jezebel described how the author contacted several self-proclaimed witches on Etsy about putting a hex on Kirk.
They had allegedly sought out the curse to get back at the 'far-right misogynist with a bad haircut' for what they considered to be his 'years of regressive rhetoric.'
“I want to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm,” the author confirmed.
“Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses, and that news genuinely rattled Erika, in particular," Kelly explained, adding that the widow holds traditional Christian views on the occult. "She was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up.”
A self-identified witch calling herself Priestess Lilin spoke to reporters: “We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level. We respect the widow’s feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns.”
She continued: “Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm. We do not celebrate the loss of life.”
In response, Priestess Lilin, her sister High Priestess Leamashtu, received a 'barrage of death threats' and have been banned from the e-commerce platform. Jezebel removed the story after Kirk’s death and condemned the fatal shooting 'in the strongest possible terms.'
The publication read: “We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind."
At his funeral in Arizona earlier this month, Erika said she forgave her accused husband's killer, while President Trump admitted he 'hates his opponent and doesn't want the best for them.' She has since appeared on her late husband's show to talk about how his voice would continue after his death.
