Mikey McCoy, Charlie Kirk’s former chief of staff, threw the New York Mets advertising Gary Cohen over critical comments made by the TV company about Chicago Cub’s rookie Matt Shaw, who participated in the conservative influencer’s memorials.
McCoy sent a video of Kirk Walking on Walking on Thursday at Wrigley Field back in August. He wrote that it was a dream that came true for Kirk that was a big fan of Cubbies. But as Cohen called Shaw’s absence from Chicago’s lineup “weird,” he brought a wealth of setbacks.

“Just over a month ago, Charlie’s dream came true … He was given the opportunity to go to Wrigley Field and after – see his friend Matt Shaw hit a home drive.” Wrote McCoy on X.
“A month later, Charlie is gone and Matt Shaw receives setback to participate in his friend’s memorial. Shame over Gary Cohen …”
Cohen made his remarks during Tuesday evening’s match between Mets and Cubs.
“I don’t want to talk about any of the policy for it, but the idea of leaving your team in the middle of a race for a reason other than a family meat really strikes me as weird,” Cohen said during the Sny broadcast.
Fellow Mets -Tv company Todd Zeile called Shaw’s absence “unprecedented.”

“It’s unusual, I think it’s at least unprecedented from my experience as a player, and I think it made it a little more unusual for it to be revealed only after it came to issue because he was assumed to be in dugout and maybe available, and it wasn’t, and that’s how it was revealed,” Zeile said.
Shaw explained on Tuesday why he made it a point to join the memorial despite his team’s schedule.
“My connection with Charlie was through our [Christian] Believe, “Shaw said, before the kids opened a new series of New York Mets Tuesday, per Chicago Sun-Times.” And it’s something that drives me every day, the reason I am able to do what I do every day and that is something I am extremely grateful for.
“I know without my faith and without the many blessings I have received in my life that I would not be here, be able to talk to you, be able to help this team eventually go and win championships.
“It’s something I really feel, really blessed, so regardless of setback it comes ok. I feel strong over my faith and that what was meant to have happened.”

Shaw seemed to take the criticism in step Wednesday night. He was 3-for-4 with a home drive when the kids directed mets, 10-3.
