I'm failing to connect the punchline here really. Charlie Kirk was shot, so I get that. He was white, so I guess I get that bit. But.. mulled wine? A white mulled wine? Is there a pun I'm not getting? And with a shot? I must be missing something really obvious but at the moment I feel as though this joke has two almost-punchlines but just sort of doesn't quite get there.
There is a popular drink on German christmas markets called "Lumumba" and it's hot cocoa with a shot of rum, named after an assassinated Congolese politician.
Normal wine isn't really a common drink on German christmas markets. I'd say the German "Glühwein" rolls off the tongue easier than "mulled wine", too. I guess this joke is just lost in translation ...
I just read his wiki page and that's even worse than an Irish car bomb. He fought for his people's independence from their colonizers...and got a racist drink named after him
Oh! If it's translated that might explain it, totally. Jokes are strange like that, lol
