[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Racist / Anti-Black Statements

1. Black pilots
   • On his show, Kirk said: “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” Yahoo+2The Guardian+2
   • He frames this comment as a critique of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) / affirmative-action policies: he argues that DEI can lead to lowering standards or race-based quotas. Yahoo+1
   • Critics see this as stereotyping Black people as potentially unqualified or less competent.
2. “Prowling” Blacks
   • According to The Guardian, he said: “Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people.” The Guardian
   • This is very strong, dehumanizing language, implying predatory behavior.
3. Black women and affirmative action / “processing power”
   • In a July 2023 episode of his show, he criticized several Black women (Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee), claiming they were “affirmative action picks.” www.ndtv.com+2X+2
   • He added: “You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously … You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.” The Guardian+2X+2
   • This is often cited as deeply racist and insulting, because “brain processing power” is a way of questioning their mental capacity or intellectual merit.
4. Opposition to parts of the Civil Rights Act / DEI
   • He has argued that the 1964 Civil Rights Act has “created a beast” and now functions as “an anti-white weapon,” in his framing. Yahoo News
   • He is strongly opposed to DEI efforts, seeing them as harmful and undermining merit. Yahoo

Statements About Women

1. Gender roles / traditional family
   • He has said that “having children is more important than having a good career” for women, and that young women should prioritize marriage and family, with the idea they can “go back to your career later.” www.ndtv.com
   • This reflects a conservative, traditionalist view on women's roles.
2. Reproductive / abortion views
   • According to The Guardian, he said that if his hypothetical 10-year-old daughter was raped and became pregnant, “the baby would be delivered.” The Guardian
   • This is an extreme anti-abortion stance.

LGBTQ / Gay / Transgender Comments

1. Use of Biblical punishment
   • In a conversation with a YouTuber (“Ms Rachel”), he referenced Leviticus 18: “‘thou shalt lie with another man …’”, pointing out that Leviticus prescribes stoning for such acts. He said: “Just saying.” The Economic Times+1
   • Critics interpret this as him endorsing or at least normalizing violent punishment for same-sex relations (or using it rhetorically to intimidate).
2. On identity vs. sexuality
   • He told a gay college student: “I don’t think you should introduce yourself just based on your sexuality because that’s not who you are.” The Economic Times
   • This reflects his belief that one’s sexual orientation should not define one’s identity or be the primary way they present themselves.
3. Gender-affirming care / trans rights
   • According to The Guardian, he called for “a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor.” The Guardian
   • He has rejected the idea of recognizing trans people’s gender identity: “I refuse to lie. I will not call a man a woman or a woman a man … I reject the entire premise of trans.” X
   • He has spoken against transgender rights more broadly, characterizing “progressive gender and sexuality policies” as “sexual anarchy.” Yahoo News
   • According to some sources, he likened gender-affirming care to “Nazis committing atrocities.” Medium

Anti-Immigrant / “Replacement Theory” Comments

1. The “great replacement”
   • Kirk has used the language of the “great replacement strategy,” claiming that there is a strategy “well under way every single day … on our southern border … to replace white rural America.” The Guardian
   • This is a reference to a white nationalist conspiracy theory: that non-white immigrants are deliberately “replacing” white populations.
2. Immigration levels
   • He said that “America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years … and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.” The Guardian
   • This reflects a very restrictive, nativist view of immigration.

Why These Statements Are So Controversial / Problematic

• Many of these comments are deeply dehumanizing or stereotypical: questioning Black people’s competence, suggesting they’re “prowling,” doubting their professional qualifications, etc.
• On gender and sexuality: advocating for extreme punishments, rejecting trans identities, calling for trials

Great lesson in how left murder cult spin works.

[Blisterfinger]

A movement that exploited hate

A strange way for you to describe peace love and understanding. But what can we expect from your TDS added brain

 

[rightwinger]

He didn't. Had he not taken an overdose he would still be alive.

That argument was provided at the trial of Chauvin and was rejected by the jury.

Might have exploited left murder cultist hate, somewhat.

Nope. That evidence wasn't admitted.

Comments taken out of context are lies. Stop lying about what Kirk was saying.

But you can't stop lying, can you....if you did you would have nothing.

 

[tahuyaman]

Why did he deserve to die?

I didn’t say he did. I simply stated a fact that he was human debris just as you are.

 

[MarathonMike]

Why did he deserve to die?

Floyd was a dead man walking due to his years of addiction to Fentanyl. He freaked out while under arrest and had a heart attack. I do not condone Officer Chauvin applying the neckhold technique for 8 minutes, but Floyd died because he was a physical and mental wreck, not from asphyxiation. But you know that, you are just making another dollar.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Floyd was a dead man walking due to his years of addiction to Fentanyl.

All the more reason cops shouldn't use that tactic. And why Chauvin's department had a policy against it. They don't know people's medical history or the state of their health.

Chauvins Defense tried that argument in court.
They couldn’t sell it.
The autopsy didn’t state that and Chaivin was convicted.

Floyd was alive before the choke hold, dead afterwards

Comments were completely in context and frequently repeated by Kirk
He knew what racist buttons to push and was richly rewarded for it

 

[Stann]

Like I said, you are a cancer in American society and should be isolated and rejected. There should be a special landfill for human debris like you.

You are the one supporting hatred. That is what Kirk represented most.

Black pilots

• On his show, Kirk said: “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” Yahoo+2The Guardian+2
• He frames this comment as a critique of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) / affirmative-action policies: he argues that DEI can lead to lowering standards or race-based quotas. Yahoo+1
• Critics see this as stereotyping Black people as potentially unqualified or less competent.

Nothing like cherry picking selectively edited comments.

The full context of the quote was as follows (beginning at 50:19):

KOLVET: We've all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits or when you're flying through a storm and you're like, "I'm so glad I saw the guy with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit before we took off. And I feel better now, thinking about that."

KIRK: You wanna go thought crime? I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, "Boy, I hope he's qualified."

KOLVET: But you wouldn't have done that before!

KIRK: That's not an immediate … that's not who I am. That's not what I believe.

NEFF: It is the reality the left has created.

KIRK: I want to be as blunt as possible because now I'm connecting two dots. Wait a second, this CEO just said that he's forcing that a white qualified guy is not gonna get the job. So I see this guy, he might be a nice person and I say, "Boy, I hope he's not a Harvard-style affirmative-action student that … landed half of his flight-simulator trials."

KOLVET: Such a good point. That's so fair.

KIRK: It also … creates unhealthy thinking patterns. I don't wanna think that way. And no one should, right? … And by the way, then you couple it with the FAA, air-traffic control, they got a bunch of morons and affirmative-action people.

Kirk's comments received media coverage at the time from prominent outlets such as Newsweek, The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone, Business Insider and NBC News. On Jan. 26, 2024, Kirk responded to criticism on conservative pundit Megyn Kelly's podcast (at 3:00):

The essence of that clip that was missed by almost everybody — Jordan Peterson, to his credit, really picked up on it — which was I was trying to be, you know, very vulnerable with the audience is that DEI invites unwholesome thinking. … I was saying in the clip, "That's not who I am, that's not what I believe." But what it does is it makes us worse versions of ourselves, Megyn. That's the whole point of what I was saying is that I now look at everything through a hyper-racialized diversity-quota lens because of their massive insistence to try to hit these ridiculous racial hiring quotas. Of course I believe anybody of any skin color can become a qualified pilot.

In Kirk's response, beginning at the 40-second mark, he rejected the notion it was irresponsible and said:

When it comes to pilots or surgeons, if I see somebody who is Black, as I said on the show, I'm going to hope that that person is qualified. That's what I said, which of course is legitimate because they're begging the question, we're not hiring based on merit anymore. We're hiring based on race.

Haha, the favored, bullshit defense of the white nationalist bigot.

It makes everyone laugh.

Heard he's been sober now for about five years.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Heard he's been sober now for about five years.

And Charlie Kirk finally leaned left.

What a life.

Charlie made a career of exploiting hate against those who are different

Bullshit lie

Very special at what? Fomenting hate?

Calling out liars and scumbags
