USA - Millionaire novelist Jodi Picoult sparked calls for a boycott of her work after she posted an angry rant against conservatives mourning Charlie Kirk following his murder.
The My Sister's Keeper author, 59, took to TikTok over the weekend to denounce those mourning the slain conservative commentator, who she claimed 'made a living out of preaching hate.
'An undeserved violent death does not negate the terrible pain that he inflicted on others,' Picoult said as she appeared to be fresh out of the shower, with wet hair.
'I'm not buying into the hypocrisy,' she added.
'You won't trick me into believing it's just about respect for life when your side has cheered families being ripped apart, when your side has proudly supported Alligator Alcatraz merch,' the author said, referencing the immigration detention center opened by the Trump administration in the Florida Everglades.
Picoult then said conservatives 'immediately jumped to blame trans people and target HBCUs , even though - shocker! - the shooter was a cis, white man from a Trump-supporting family who was raised to love guns.'
