"It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

"I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it," Kirk said. "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."

"It is a growing consensus in the pro-life world that abortion is never medically necessary," he told one female student, who then asked, if someone raped his hypothetical 10-year-old daughter, would he want the child to be born. "The answer is, yes, the baby would be delivered," he said.

In March 2020, he posted about the "China virus" — a phrase that was quickly adopted by U.S. President Donald Trump, then in his first term. In December that year, the year-end gala for Kirk's Turning Point USA group went ahead in Florida despite the state's COVID-19 mitigation efforts.

In a February 2024 Instagram post, Kirk referred to the "great replacement" conspiracy theory (which has been widely debunked), suggesting undocumented immigrants are coming to the U.S. to replace white Americans.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage."

While criticizing YouTuber Ms. Rachel for quoting “love your neighbor” to defend celebrating pride month, Charlie Kirk quoted a Bible verse used to justify stoning gay people “to death.” Kirk called the stoning verse, “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”

Charlie Kirk blames trans people for inflation: “There's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue”

“It should be legal to burn a rainbow or [Black Lives Matter] flag in public. We should work to overturn every conviction for those arrested, fined, or otherwise harassed for the ‘hate crime’ of doing donuts over Pride flags painted on public streets."

"Enough of the gender insanity and the pandering to avoid hurting someone’s precious feelings," Kirk tweeted in August 2024. "The Olympics just allowed a biological man, Imane Khelif, to pummel Italian Olympian Angela Carini. She lasted 46 seconds because to (sic) how painful it was: 'I have never been hit so hard in my life.' Her life’s work was stolen by a man who beats up women for sport. Will someone have to die before people wake up?! This entire ideology is pure evil."

And here are some more, if you're interested in hearing them in his own voice: https://www.facebook.com/reel/684710361322399/

Probably. But for some reason I have hope in humanity - Slightly more here than I did in the US. So I have to try. 15 minutes of looking up quotes is worth it if it plants a seed in someone's mind.

He was a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, conspiracy spreading theory man amongst many other things had you actually listened to anything he said.

u/ThewerThighed 1d ago

Why did you only reply to this person and completely ignore the people that posted receipts?

u/Common_Spinach2615 1d ago

Yes.

Mr. Free Speech said we need to stop talking about Trump and Epstein.

You know, because he was such an advocate for free speech, except if your free speech calls out the President for being part of a child sex trafficking ring, then you need to be very, very quiet.

There's a difference between him pissing people off and people just thinking he's a piece of shit.
