Corey Harrison, the beloved star of History Channel's Pawn Stars, has ignited a firestorm on social media after publicly calling for the removal of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk from the network's programming.
Harrison, known to fans as 'Big Hoss', did not mince words in a series of explosive posts on X (formerly Twitter). He described Kirk's on-air comments as 'disgusting' and 'divisive', directly challenging the network to take a stand.
A Direct Challenge to The History Channel
The reality TV personality's outrage appears to have been triggered by a recent segment featuring Kirk. Harrison's demand was clear and unequivocal: he insists The History Channel must 'get him off the air'. This public ultimatum from one of the network's own biggest stars places executives in a difficult position.
Harrison's critique extends beyond mere disagreement with Kirk's politics. He accused the commentator of actively 'tearing this country apart' with his rhetoric, suggesting the content is fundamentally at odds with the channel's educational ethos.
Social Media Backlash and Fan Reaction
The tweet quickly went viral, amassing thousands of likes and comments. The reaction from fans of the long-running Las Vegas-based show has been mixed, sparking a fierce debate online.
Some supporters applauded Harrison for 'speaking up' and using his platform to call out content he deems harmful. Others criticised the move, accusing him of attempting to silence opposing viewpoints and engaging in 'cancel culture'.
This incident highlights the increasing pressure on media networks to carefully curate their contributors amidst the highly polarised current political climate. As of now, neither The History Channel nor Charlie Kirk has issued a public response to Harrison's demands.
