LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christian activist Morgan Ariel, who is a self-declared "truth seeker," "lioness for Jesus Christ," and "freedom fighter" as well as the owner of a clothing brand ONE GOD, has been courting controversy after publicly saying the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and the musical sensation Taylor Swift should be executed.

Per Newsweek, Ariel slammed the duo for using their rumored relationship to use as a way to promote vaccines.

This comes after Kelce recently collaborated with Pfzier for an advertisement encouraging people to get Covid-19 booster shots.

Morgan Ariel speaks against Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

During her appearance on 'The Stew Peters Show', Ariel apparently said, "I think these people should be publicly prosecuted and hung." 

Notably, Stew Peters is a conservative commentator with a combined following of 900,000 on the social media sites X and Rumble.

Slamming Kelce’s stance of kneeling during a 2017 pregame anthem and appearing in an ad for Bud Light, Ariel said, “I think that we need justice in this country."

She added, "I think the celebrities that are pushing it, they should be tried. And they don't have any conviction because their god is Satan and they value money instead of human life." 

When Peters said that celebrities like Swift and Kelce were "responsible for murder and selling their souls and knowingly killing children" by promoting Covid-19 vaccines, Ariel voiced that the Chiefs tight end might convince his adult male supporters to get the vaccine.

During the show, Peters also claimed, "This is a strong point in favor of the rumors that Taylor Swift is actually a lesbian or even asexual because, with a history like that and all these death jabs, it's pretty clear Kelce has no d***."

Internet slams Morgan Ariel for her comments against Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

While there were some who criticized Travis Kelce for agreeing to do a promo for vaccines, many slammed Morgan Ariel for her hate comments against Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

One said, "How rich is it to invoke the Lord's name and spout the bile about Kelce and Swift. I had no idea who you were, until your recent video popped up about Kelce. Lord help you."

Someone else echoed, "And yet you think he would approve of killing in his name. From everything I've learned, he taught nonviolence and love. You're more like the antichrist...#ismorganarielantichrist?"

Another criticized in strong words, saying, "Ah yes. Made up persecution of christians... The fact you have this platform to rant and rave your conspiracy, shows how little you're persecuted. Wannabee outrage. Pathetic."

"He will never be your Lord. Too much hate in your soul," said someone dissatisfied with Ariel's claims.

One more remarked, "You need help medically and spiritually. You are in a cult. It's so sad to see people who profess faith and love act in the opposite way."

Someone else declared, "Ya sound like a cartoon character!"

Why did the conservatives slam Travis Kelce?

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has drawn massive ire from right-wing conservatives for appearing in an advertisement where he partnered with Pfizer. 

Citing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines, Kelce is seen encouraging people to get the Covid-19 booster shot and flu shot simultaneously, as per Forbes.

He was also slammed previously when he appeared in an ad with Bud Light over the summer. Even conservative commentator Megyn Kelly criticized Kelce in strong words during one of her episodes of ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ where she and Charlie Kirk slammed the Chiefs star.

Kirk said Kelce should be "shamed and humiliated" for his association with a vaccine ad, while Kelly added, "He’s super woke. He’s with Taylor, he endorsed Bud Light post-controversy, and he’s pushing the Pfizer vax."

Did Travis Kelce take a knee?

One of the major points of contention against Travis Kelce that resurfaced after the rumors of him dating Taylor Swift became viral was him taking a knee during a 2017 pregame anthem. 

Taking a knee during the national anthem is a means of peaceful protest against racism, as per Oxford Languages.

USA Today reported that it was an age-old mode of protest, with then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick bringing it back to the mainstream in 2016 when he knelt during the national anthem to protest against racial inequality.

In one instance, Travis Kelce took a knee during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers in September 2017.

According to SB Nation, Kelce was one of the White footballers to join the protest.
