In case you missed it — and let’s be honest, the media would prefer you did — Randi Mahomes, mother of Super Bowl champ Patrick Mahomes, just did something the woke sports world hasn’t quite figured out how to handle: she publicly mourned the death of Charlie Kirk.
Yep, that Charlie Kirk. The conservative firebrand. The one who built Turning Point USA. The one who’s been on college campuses defending free speech and faith while being labeled everything short of a domestic terrorist by the professional outrage class. That Charlie Kirk — shot and killed in broad daylight at a university event in Utah.
And what did Randi do?
She shared one of his last posts — “Jesus defeated death so you can live” — and wrote three little words that spoke volumes: Rest in heaven.

Now you’d think, under any other circumstances, a message like that would be met with sympathy. A man is assassinated. A mother — not a pundit, not a politician — posts a spiritual tribute. Case closed, right?
Oh, if only it were that simple.
Because this mother happens to be a Christian. A Trump supporter. And worst of all — she had the audacity to express condolences for Charlie Kirk. So naturally, the internet lynch mob had a minor meltdown. You can almost hear the keyboards clacking from the Brooklyn media set: “How dare she support a conservative after he was murdered?”
But Randi Mahomes isn’t backing down. And she’s not alone.
On September 11, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Mahomes, took to her Instagram Stories to share a tribute for American right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk. Randi reshared Chiefs owner Clark Hunt’s wife, Tavia Hunt’s, IG post. The post read,
“As a…

NFL players like Tim Tebow, Jaxson Dart, and Julian Edelman have also come forward to honor Kirk’s memory — a move that would’ve been considered just basic human decency a few years ago, but in today’s political climate? Risky. Apparently, if you mourn the “wrong kind” of victim, your sympathy gets reviewed for ideological compliance.
This is where we are now.
A 31-year-old conservative is shot on a college campus, and half the country can’t decide whether to be sad or “strategic” about it. There are no calls for candlelight vigils from the media. No emotional monologues on late-night TV. Just a cold, awkward silence — like someone walked into a faculty lounge with an American flag.
And while the activist class debates whether Kirk “deserved” to be mourned, Randi Mahomes did what mothers do. She saw a young man gunned down — a man of faith — and she responded with compassion.
That used to be universal.
But the more interesting question isn’t why Randi posted what she did. It’s why so few in her position would dare to.
Let’s be real: sports and celebrity culture have become so allergic to conservative thought, it’s basically career suicide to say you voted Republican, let alone quote a Bible verse from someone like Kirk. Unless, of course, you’re quoting it sarcastically. That’s still acceptable in Hollywood.
And yet, here’s Randi Mahomes — mother of the NFL’s golden boy — refusing to flinch.
You can almost feel the tension. What happens if more people in her world — athletes, wives, coaches — start doing the same? What if the fear breaks? What if being conservative in public stops being taboo and starts being human again?
Because despite the narrative spin machine working overtime, the facts remain.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated. In America. At a college. By a 22-year-old who, according to authorities, confessed to his family before being arrested.

And one brave mother posted three words and cracked the silence: Rest in heaven.
It wasn’t a political statement. It was a moral one.
But if that’s too much for modern America to handle?
Maybe it’s not the Randi Mahomes of the world we should be worried about.
Maybe it’s the people who saw that post and felt offended.
