Mikey McCoy, Charlie Kirk\u2019s<\/a> former chief of staff, slammed New York Mets announcer Gary Cohen over critical remarks the broadcaster made about Chicago Cubs rookie Matt Shaw attending the conservative influencer\u2019s memorial service.<\/p>\n

McCoy on Thursday posted a video of Kirk walking onto Wrigley Field back in August. He wrote that it was a dream come true for Kirk, who was a big fan of the Cubbies<\/a>. But as Cohen called Shaw\u2019s absence from Chicago\u2019s lineup “weird,” he brought upon a ton of backlash.<\/p>\n

“A little over a month ago Charlie\u2019s dream came true\u2026 he got the opportunity to walk on Wrigley Field and after – see his friend Matt Shaw hit a home run.,” McCoy wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“A month later, Charlie is gone and Matt Shaw is receiving backlash for attending his friend\u2019s memorial. Shame on Gary Cohen\u2026”<\/p>\n

Cohen made his remarks during Tuesday night\u2019s game between the Mets and Cubs.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird,” Cohen said during the SNY broadcast.<\/p>\n

Fellow Mets broadcaster Todd Zeile called Shaw’s absence “unprecedented.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s unusual, I think it’s unprecedented at least from my experience as a player, and I think it made it a little more unusual that it was not revealed until after it came to issue because he was thought to be in the dugout and maybe available, and was not, and that’s how it was revealed,” Zeile said.<\/p>\n

Shaw explained Tuesday why he made it a point to attend the memorial despite his team\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n

“My connection with Charlie was through our [Christian] faith,” Shaw said before the Cubs opened a new series with the New York Mets on Tuesday, per the\u00a0Chicago Sun-Times<\/a>. “And that\u2019s something that drives me every day, the reason why I\u2019m able to do what I do every day, and that\u2019s something I\u2019m extremely thankful for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I know without my faith and without the many blessings I\u2019ve been given in my life, that I wouldn\u2019t be here, be able to talk to you guys, able to help this team eventually go and win championships.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s something I feel really, really blessed about, so whatever backlash comes is OK. I feel strong about my faith and that what was meant to be happened.”<\/p>\n

Shaw appeared to take the criticism in stride on Wednesday night. He was 3-for-4 with a home run<\/a> as the Cubs routed the Mets, 10-3.<\/p>\n
