Matt Walsh, opinion columnist with The Blaze, took to Twitter to blame the hospital and the courts of the United Kingdom for the death of Charlie Gard.

"The hospital and the courts killed this baby. His death will be on their souls. God have mercy on them," tweeted Walsh, getting over 250 retweets and more than 440 likes as of Monday afternoon.

Last month, Walsh penned a column denouncing Charlie Gard's treatment, labeling it "barbaric" and "what happens when human life is not considered sacred."

"This is what happens with socialized medicine," wrote Walsh in June. "If the State runs the health care system, ultimately they will be the ones who decide whose life is worth saving and whose isn't."
