The murder of Charlie Kirk was wrong.

But Charlie Kirk was a jerk

Charlie Kirk was murdered. That violent act was morally abhorrent, and an affront to the values of democracy, in which every person has a right to speak their mind free from intimidation.

The terrible irony is that Republicans are now using the murder of Charlie Kirk to intimidate others into silence. The government of Donald Trump is using its power to censor those Americans who disagree with its extremist right wing fascism, and claiming Charlie Kirk's murder as a justification.

People in all ranks of society are now being pressured into honoring Charlie Kirk, as if he was some kind of hero. He was no hero.

We're standing up for nonviolent resistance to the cruel fascism that Charlie Kirk worked so hard to promote. 

We trust our readers to understand that these two things are both true:

1. Charlie Kirk's murder was wrong.

2. Charlie Kirk was a jerk.

What Charlie Kirk Said:

Charlie Kirk worked to replace democracy with fascist Christian Nationalism in order to put white American men in charge and force everyone else to obey. Don't take our word for it. Listen to the words of Charlie Kirk himself.

Charlie Kirk insulted and threatened American communities with military takeover:

- "Why is our capital a joke, a mess, a disgrace? Even if crime is dropping, the lower rates are still a complete and total humiliation and disgrace."
"Roll in the tanks! Bring in the drones! Send in the Marines! 
- "Chicago has become more dangerous than third world cities...  Chicago, take it over. Seize it. Roll in the tanks.. You are next, and you are woefully unprepared for what is coming."
- "Minneapolis -- okay, that might be tough. That's a third world Somali slum. The city has a death wish."
- "Has Denver become less free or more free? It's become a dystopian nightmare."

"I think things are gonna start to march into our hemisphere. I think that now that we got Israel-Iran sorted out, we gotta get Russia-Ukraine sorted out, and then we have a lot of work we have to do in this hemisphere. I'm telling everybody, we need to do project 10 million. Project 10 million is removing the 10 million alien invaders in this country. We have 25, 30 million. 10 million is gonna be a big number in four years, which is basically gonna launch a soft civil war in the major cities."

Charlie Kirk called for the killing of Joe Biden:

"Joe Biden is a bumbling dementia filled Alzheimer's corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty."

"I'm not a defender of Joe Biden. He should be in Gitmo. He's a traitor to the country."


Charlie Kirk viciously attacked Muslim Americans.

"Now when we think of what it means to be an American, is someone by the name of Mohamed? Yeah. I don't think so...  The defining issue of the year of our lord 2025 going into 2026, 2027 on the American right is one that we are totally unprepared for, which is 'What is an American?' And most people look at me and they say, 'Well, an American is just someone that has a US passport.' Zohran Mamdani has a US passport. Omar Fateh has a US passport. Ilhan Omar is a member of Congress. Do you consider that to be a fellow American?"

"We must ask ourselves the question, and we have the courage to do this on our show — are you comfortable with both London and New York having Muslim mayors? I'm sorry. I think we should have a little bit of caution with that. That doesn't feel right. I don't need a chart. I don't need a graph. I don't need a peer-reviewed study. There's something about having both London and New York, the two financial centers of the West, of the Anglosphere, both have Muslim mayors."

Of Ilhan Omar: "She should be denaturalized, and she should be deported back to where she came from."

"People that still live in the 1300s, as a vast majority of Muslims do, they don't hold western values. No, this is civilization aka western values versus barbarism, also known as medieval worldview.

Charlie Kirk said of Muslims: “They aren’t even hiding their intentions. Muslims plan to conquer Europe by demographic replacement. Will Europe wake up in time?”


Charlie Kirk said that people who speak languages other than English can't be Americans.

"Step one is speaking English. If you don't understand the language, you cannot understand our values. Step one, make English the official language of the United States."


Charlie Kirk called for political protesting to be made a crime.
 

"Every single protestor in Minneapolis should be arrested and charged with Domestic Terrorism."


Charlie Kirk opposed legal immigration.

"Everyone says, ‘Well, we just need immigrants to come legally. We just need immigrants to come legally.’ That’s not true...  I love this country, and I hate to see what mass migration is doing to it."

"We are a cluttered country. We are a overwhelmed country. We are a country that is flooded with foreigners."

"We have way too many legal immigrants coming into this country."


Charlie Kirk called for Democrats to be imprisoned in chains.

"Will you enforce the law against Democrats who are able to act with complete treachery against the American people? Handcuffs and leg irons. That’s what we need. The solution is perp walks, investigations. It’s not happy talk."


Charlie Kirk called for the use of violence outside the law against immigrants.

"Out here, a man settles his own problems. No government, no Fauci, no IRS, no NSA, no. It's the rule of law and a Christian with a gun in each boot."

"Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?"

"Why do we have a military? Why do we have men with guns if we can't use them? Having a country means being able to draw a line on the ground and say, this is our sovereign territory. If you enter, we have lethal force, and we're willing to use it."


Charlie Kirk said that the right to own guns is more important than protecting people from violence.
"It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."


Charlie Kirk accused public school teachers of "grooming your kids," forcing children to become gay, "Coming after them and they're turning them gay and trans in a way that you might not believe."

"We must ban trans-affirming care, the entire country."

Charlie Kirk wanted an end to democracy.
 

"I'm not a fan of democracy."
"We're a republic, not a democracy. Let's just make sure we're clear."


Charlie Kirk argued for women to be submissive and let men be in charge.
 

"Reject feminism. Submit to your husband... You're not in charge."

"Men know the game is rigged against them – especially young white men."

"Young ladies, they have to shed themselves of the Jezebel spirit. They have to. The Jezebel spirit has just infected an entire generation of young ladies, and they need to — this is one of the reasons why I talk about why Mary, the mother of Jesus, is so important to crush feminism. Feminism has done such damage to these young ladies."

Married couples without children are "a bunch of morally bankrupt people who secretly feel guilty for being selfish parasites in a dumb attempt to normalize awful behavior."

"No real man can or should vote for Kamala Harris."

"If you are a man in this country and you don't vote for Donald Trump, you're not a man."


Charlie Kirk was a mean-spirited racist:

"Whiteness is great."

 “MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

Charlie Kirk said that passing the Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake".

"I have been warning about this crusade against White people."

Charlie Kirk said of professionally successful black women: "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...  It's very obvious to us you are not smart enough to be able to get it on your own. 'I could not make it on my own, so I needed to take opportunities from someone more deserving.'"

"The great replacement of White people is far more sinister than any redistricting project."

Charlie Kirk repeatedly invited explicit white supremacists to be guests on his podcast such as Steve Sailer, Curtis Yarvin, Jacob Posobiec

"Remember the well over 100 people that have died in Texas hill country. What you are not being told by the media anywhere is that the death toll likely would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI."

In June of 2025, Charlie Kirk argued that Donald Trump's military occupation of Los Angeles is necessary to increase the number of White people and decrease the number of non-White living in Los Angeles, using data taken from a white supremacist organization.

In 2023, Charlie Kirk claimed that "prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people. That's a fact... And they also just want to start a race war. The left would love to see a race war."

"Haitians are going around and taking people's pets and eating them."

"The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."

Of Martin Luther King, Jr. Charlie Kirk said, "This guy is not worthy of a national holiday. He is not worthy of godlike status. In fact, I think it's really harmful."

"The southern border is, of course, the great replacement. They're trying to replace us demographically. They're trying to make the country less white. They're trying to make the country more like the third world, the dumping ground of the planet is the United States southern border... It is an anti-white agenda."

"Why are whites taking this? Why are we just sitting idly by and allowing corporate America to give all the jobs to nonwhite people?"

"Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them... Some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans... The philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country. "


Charlie Kirk campaigned to replace American democracy with a Christian theocracy.

"There is no separation of church and state."

"Donald Trump is all that stands between a pagan regime basically permanently engulfing the country."

"I am both a Christian and a nationalist, but most importantly I am a Christian."


Charlie Kirk's obsession with Christian supremacy led him to extreme opposition to ordinary parts of American life.

Halloween is Satanic: "Halloween is a dark, dark day. Not a fan of it. It's what you do with it. Not a fan of all the kind of dressing up and all that nonsense. I don't like it, and if you are a Christian, you must be, and by the way, if you're also a Jew, because this is a Old Testament law, you must not engage in any of these practices of the occult. I find that there is far too much kind of joking around and playing loose and fast with this stuff. There is legit darkness that can be channeled and put in there. And by the way, this, again, this is an Old Testament law. So this goes for both Jews and Christians. So that's just a good word for Halloween. Don't even play around with it. Stay away from it."

"Liberals are earth worshippers. They're pagans. This is left-wing ideologues that allowed the island to burn. That there is blood on the hands of the water worshippers... They believe, in pagan Hawaiian culture, we must worship water, not life. Wokeism is just a return of an old god. The Bible was written as a refutation, it was obsessed with challenging this idea – specifically of Egypt. This is no different. You believe — they believed the Nile was holy. And they believe water is so holy that you can't use it to fight a fire? That’s what he’s implying here... This is left-wing ideologues that allowed the island to burn. That there is blood on the hands of the water worshippers. Christianity broke us free of pagan slavery. So did the Hebrew Bible, by the way. Challenged this idea of worshiping the earth, that God is not in nature, that God created nature. Could it be that Maui did not have to burn if they didn’t believe such wacky, goofy, pagan stuff?"

"I'm willing to strike a deal so that people in their twenties are going to get next to nothing for future Social Security... I'm not a fan of retirement. I don't think retirement is biblical."

Charlie Kirk said of Palestine:  “I don’t think the place exists.”

 

Charlie Kirk was unkind

in his words and deeds:

In February of 2025, Charlie Kirk called government workers "worthless parasites".

"Stupid Muslims!"

Charlie Kirk campaigned to end vaccination for diseases such as Hepatitis B and chickenpox.

When wildfires destroyed large parts of Los Angeles, Charlie Kirk called upon Donald Trump to withhold federal aid. "When California, in a couple of weeks, comes crawling back for federal assistance, Trump should say, listen, I'm not gonna give you a dime unless you fire the lesbian Kristens."

In May of 2025, Charlie Kirk called upon Donald Trump to "crush Harvard".

 

"I'm willing to strike a deal so that people in their twenties are going to get next to nothing for future Social Security... I'm not a fan of retirement. I don't think retirement is biblical."

"My other problem with the death penalty: It takes too long, too many appeals. It should be public. It should be quick. And it should be televised... I wanna watch that execution. That'll make my day better. I wanna see him on a public block and get him be publicly executed, and I think that would be justice. You think children should have, you should see it? What is the age, at what age should you start to see public execution?"

“I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage”
