| Charlie Kirk. Really? |
| First, the obligatory statement that political violence is always wrong. It is, and it was in the case of the murder of Charlie Kirk. There.
Now with that said, let's take a look at who Charlie Kirk was by reviewing his own statements. “We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty... We need to be very clear that you’re not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. But I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment,” --At a Turning Point USA event in 2023 “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually, I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage.” -- On his self-titled radio talk show “They were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad. It was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes.” The person he debated responded, “4,000 Black men, women, and children were killed in violent lynch mobs. Racial terror permeated American culture for hundreds of years. You don’t think that affected the generational psyche of an entire group of people?” “Black America is worse than it has been in the last 80 years,” he interrupted. -- Appearing on Jubilee’s internet show “Surrounded” “The answer is yes. The baby would be delivered.” -- During this same Jubilee episode, Kirk was asked what he would want his daughter to do if she were 10 years old and pregnant following rape. "Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot." “Gun control, like vaccines and masks, is focused on making people feel ‘safe’ by taking freedoms away from others. Don’t fall for it.” -- On X May 30, 2022 “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” -- Following the tragic January collision between an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk Army helicopter “Democrat women want to die alone without children.” -- On X September 8, 2025 “Now, I will say that for future retirees, people under the age of 45, we should absolutely raise the retirement age. I’m going to say something very provocative. I’m not a fan of retirement. I don’t think retirement is biblical, You say, ‘Charlie, I’m just gonna retire and I’m just gonna go golf.’ I think, what a waste of the gifts that God has given you.” -- September 19, 2023, edition of Salem Media Group's The Charlie Kirk Show Source: "If You're Wondering What Charlie Kirk Believed In, Here Are 14 Real Quotes" by Alexa Lisitza — BuzzFeed - Sep 13, 2025 |
