A pastor at a Baptist church in Alexandria, Virginia, condemned late conservative activist Charlie Kirk as an "unapologetic racist" on Sunday.

While preaching at Alfred Street Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley denounced Kirk’s killing but criticized the widespread veneration of the Turning Point USA founder.

"Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated," Wesley said. "But I am overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land."
