Viral videos show a man cheering and celebrating as Charlie Kirk was shot.
Internet sleuths have tried to track down this suspicious figure, sharing the bizarre footage of him smiling and pumping his fists after Kirk went down.
X users became especially concerned as it appeared the bearded man in the video looked back in the direction of the gunman after the shot rang.
A man named David who claims to be that person has spoken out, though outlets like the Daily Mail have not been able to verify at the time of this writing if he is, in fact, the individual from the video.
David explained his reaction in a post on X where he notably misspelled Kirk’s last name.
“Losing Charlie Kurk is heavy, and we are still mourning,” the social media post began.
“Trust that I’ll be explaining myself very soon, but every lie about me brings me one step closer to becoming very dead and at the hands of the mob. Should I die for hate or entertainment?”
“Truth will satisfy neather appetite. I’m a Father, and I feel the weight of Charlie’s loss to his family. I stand for my fallen brothers. We are unequal in risk at this moment, so if I address my actions, it will be after some time.”
He continued, “I didn’t wish to have my face everywhere, I’m terrified for my family and sad for Charlie’s too. I can not bear both. Please pray for Charlie’s Family.”
X users who were already suspicious of the man in the viral video replied to David’s post with questions.
One account asked, “Why were you so excited to see a man die?” to which David replied, “I drew attention so the security team could escape. It was dumb, I don’t regret it.”
Another person stated, “We saw the video. You were smiling. Elated. This doesn’t add up.”
David replied to that comment by saying, “I’m the happiest person you would ever meet in your entire life.”
A third, clearly not all too receptive to David’s explanation, said, “I was wondering who you were. I’m glad the whole world knows now. Good luck –– and I don’t mean that.”
A fourth quipped, “He did not just play the victim card?!”
Someone else added: “Your reaction to this leads me to believe you knew what was coming.”
There have been many, many questions and concerns following the assassination of Kirk.
Resist the Mainstream reported Thursday that internet sleuths seemingly unearthed a book being sold on Amazon about the Kirk murder that was published the day before the tragic event.
The book was notably published on Sept. 9, however, Kirk was not killed until one day later.
X user @EscanorReloaded spotlighted the eerie finding in a post, stating, “Rather strange how things like this keep happening with Amazon books. This entire Charlie Kirk shooting seems to have many presets & safety valves.”
“Too many to be an organic and random act,” the account added.
“Screams op to me.”
