Congressional candidate Shelby Campbell is under fire after a TikTok video surfaced, where she appears to admit involvement in a controversial remark about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, saying, “Yes, it’s me.” The backlash intensified after Campbell followed up in the same video, saying, “I don’t think anyone deserves to be murdered,” and suggesting that extreme rhetoric can carry real-world consequences.
Campbell is running as a challenger against Democratic incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar. Meanwhile, critics are accusing her of recklessly invoking violence.
Campbell’s supporters argue that her comments were taken out of context, and she has maintained that her campaign is focused on constructive discourse and public safety.
“My campaign is about community over corporations, compassion over cruelty, and people over profit,” she said.
