Netflix Clip Triggers MAGA Backlash Over Misread Gentlemen Scene Linked to Charlie Kirk

A Netflix UK & Ireland post featuring a clip from The Gentlemen Season 2 sparked a MAGA-fueled backlash, with influencers claiming it mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination, despite the scene showing Eddie marrying a countess and containing no assassination references. Netflix says the post wasn’t about Kirk, and the controversy surfaced on the one-year anniversary of his death as calls to cancel Netflix circulated from Matt Walsh, Kevin Sorbo, Libs of TikTok, and others. The clip is part of Season 2, which is currently streaming.
