General Hospital actress Nancy Lee Grahn is facing backlash after posting a controversial statement about the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn Under Fire After Instagram Post BLAMING Charlie Kirk for His Assassination
On Instagram, Grahn wrote:
“I am not in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk was in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk.”
The remark quickly drew criticism for suggesting Kirk was responsible for his own death, with many accusing Grahn of politicizing a tragedy.
Grahn has long been outspoken on progressive issues, but this latest post struck a nerve. Even those who disagreed with Kirk’s politics argued that Grahn’s comment was callous and unnecessary, crossing the line from political critique into personal attack.
Instead of offering condolences or simply staying silent, Grahn used Kirk’s death to make a political point — a move that inflamed social media and further fueled the divide between Hollywood voices and conservative audiences.
While some of her followers defended the sentiment, arguing Kirk promoted policies that normalized violence, the blunt delivery left others questioning whether Grahn was showing more satisfaction than sorrow.
For an actress who has built decades of goodwill with daytime fans, Grahn’s post is another reminder of how quickly a single social media statement can overshadow a career and alienate viewers.
