Expressing her grief in the wake of Kirk’s death, Yerger wrote in one post: “At such a loss for words.
“So unfair that such an amazing man has been taken out like this. it breaks my heart. thank you charlie for everything you’ve done for the youth of our country.
“So much love and sympathy to his family. please pray for them.”
But her mourning received overwhelming hate from her audience who slammed the fitness guru for her “selective empathy”.
Her longtime followers left hateful – and even abusive – comments on her posts about the dad of two who was killed in a sick political assassination.
One hater said: “You lost me with that bulls***, very out of touch w reality.”
Another person wrote: “Girl please miss with the nonsense talking about Jesus.
“You never made one post talking about God. Now you want to talk about him. Girl bye.”
Yerger also received severe backlash for not speaking up on other political issues over the years, including the murder of George Floyd and the Israel-Hamas war.
One follower slammed: “Never spoke about Gaza, ICE, any poc injustices, yeah idgaf [what] you have to say that hateful man is looking up at us.”
Yerger hit back at her haters, calling them “sick”.
She wrote: “I never speak on politics because of all the division it creates, but all this evil makes me sick.
“If you are rejoicing in the death of a father and husband, I pray for your soul. Don’t let these demons make you forget what really matters here.
“I encourage you to find the Lord, He will save you. He loves you all,” she wrote.
“If you disagree or are shocked by my beliefs, that is okay. There doesn’t need to be any hate, just unfollow. I encourage you all to contribute good into the world.”
Kirk was tragically shot in the neck last Wednesday as he launched his “American Comeback” campus tour in Utah.
The 31-year-old died in hospital as a huge manhunt was launched resulting in the arrest of main suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
Robinson’s arrest was made after his dad turned him in, bringing an end to the desperate manhunt.

He had confessed to his dad that he carried out the shooting, who then told a family friend, who called law enforcement to the scene on Thursday night, authorities revealed.
Charges are set to be formally filed against Robinson on Tuesday.
Robinson is understood to be under “special watch” after he allegedly told his dad “he’d rather die than hand himself in”.
He is being housed in the Utah County jail’s Special Housing Unit – where he is monitored around the clock to ensure he doesn’t harm himself or others, according to TMZ.
Cops have since widened their investigation to determine the killer’s motive and are examining leftist groups in Utah and online to see if they were aware of the shooting before it took place.
Meanwhile, bombshell evidence and a note about plans to “take out” Charlie Kirk have been linked to suspected assassin Robinson.
DNA evidence found on the towel wrapped around the suspected murder weapon matched 22-year-old Robinson, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed on Monday morning.
He said that DNA evidence found on the screwdriver left at the sniper’s nest matched that of Robinson’s, along with the towel found with the rifle.
The FBI director said that Robinson had a chilling text message exchange where he allegedly planned the killing.
“He claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it, because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for,” Patel said.
