New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson swatted away criticism he received for expressing his condolences to the family of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, demanding detractors “unfollow” him on social media.

Robinson received some backlash from predominately lefty fans after sharing a photo of Kirk’s wife Erika and their two children and writing, “I feel bad for his family” following the assassination of the Turning Point USA co-founder Wednesday.

The shotblocker then doubled down on Thursday.

“I’m never the type to get into the political field,” said Robinson, according to a post by New York Basketball on X, “but I just don’t get how people get so sensitive and offended about someone else’s opinion or beliefs.”

“I respect your mindset and beliefs but it’s not gone change what I believe and stand for you don’t have to like me you can unfollow, unfriend me whatever you have to do to never see what I do or say I could care less about what you do or think of me!” he added.

“I don’t care if you black, white, green, or have stripes like a damn zebra or even like the same gender, I respect you either way!” Robinson said. “As a father myself, no kid should have to grow up without their father or mother at the end of the day!…..I don’t do the things I do for attention or clout…Again, I could care less what people think of me…the ones that know me already know what I stand for!”

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck Wednesday while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. He was rushed to a local hospital before he was pronounced dead.
