    The fact that the word bet was not used once in these text messages prove that they weren't written by someone under 30.

    Yeah, honestly, I had never listened to him until a few days ago. I thought he would be a Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson type. I have since watched about 30+ clips/videos and he came across as smart, eloquent, respectful and a master at debating conservative talking points more clearly & effectively than the entirety of the Republican party. This was in stark contradiction to what I expected. He didn't say anything racist or hateful in the videos I saw and I have a 40 year history of calling out racist assholes. On the contrary, he invited open dialogue in a respectful manner with people who sometimes had extreme, polarizing viewpoints. Much of the time I sided with him in the debates and on some of the issues and that does not make me a conservative Republican.

    Most people making these accusations, it seems, have never even watched a full debate, let alone 20 or 30. Just because the guy makes pro-life or anti- affirmative action arguments or debates that biological men don't belong in women's sports does not make him a racist who spreads hate-filled rhetoric.

    The Black pilot comment? He is engaged in a debate against DEI policies that lower standards & qualifications based on race. You or I may support affirmative action, but it is a legitimate argument for him to make.

    He said "he doesn't believe in empathy"? The full quote is that he much prefers sympathy & compassion because you can fully understand someone else's pain and experience.

    The comment about Biden was uncalled for and out of line. He was wrong for saying that. I had someone on my social media post that one of the worst things Charlie Kirk said was that Latinos should be put in cages like dogs. I asked her to verify this comment before I vilified him for making it. She replied that it wasn't a quote, but that he said yes when asked if he agreed with Trump's immigration policies. This is bearing false witness and spreading lies. No wonder people are confused.

    Breaking news ...

    ST. GEORGE, UT—As questions continue to swirl regarding the motive behind last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell investigation Monday that suggests alleged gunman Tyler Robinson, 22, once had a transgender Uber driver. “In its thorough examination of the suspect’s activities in the years leading up the shooting, the Journal found evidence that in March 2021, Robinson rode for nearly 12 minutes in the backseat of a Nissan Sentra driven by a transgender woman,” veteran investigative journalist James Kovacs wrote in the article, which reports that Robinson appeared to have been satisfied with the experience, having given the driver a perfect five-star rating and a $2 tip. “While it could not be definitively determined whether Robinson was radicalized during the drive from his home to a nearby CVS location, it could not be ruled out, either, as he is believed to have exchanged a few brief words with the trans individual before inserting his earbuds and remaining silent for the rest of the trip. At this time, it would be premature to draw a direct line of cause-and-effect between this journey to pick up toothpaste and shaving supplies and the killing of Charlie Kirk four and a half years later. However, the Journal continues to investigate any interactions Robinson’s may have had with transgender waiters, transgender bank tellers, or transgender passersby in the park.” The article added that it was possible Robinson was indoctrinated into “gender ideology” during the ride and that this was the reason he reportedly said “Thanks” to the transgender woman as she dropped him off at the curb.​

    There is no sugar coating his racism and the policies he preferred, he was paid for by Billoinares to spout their propaganda. Turning Point USA receives funding from conservative and right-wing donors and foundations, including several Republican politicians. According to some sources, donors include the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation (Richard Uihlein), and Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner's family foundation.


    it was a well conceived indoctrination where he preached very shallow arguments and made unreasonable things sound reasonable, he preached culture war to divide people and keep them angry so they ignore those stealing from us every day...he made his money as a provocateur, that is a very dangerous career choice.

    https://racism.org/articles/defining-racism/white-privilege/12835-charlie-kirk-white-supremacist

    The article is a result of what that does, he encouraged racism, he exposed hateful policies, and just because you are a calm speaker doesn't mean what you are saying is valuable.

    He was as bad for this country as Rush Linbaugh.

    If they are supporting NAZI policies, they are NAZIs......pretty simple.

    And they are shallow thinkers - that always leads to war, ALWAYS......and it is the side that loses, ALWAYS.

    Please give specific instances of his racism. The quoted article did not provide specific examples or instances. Proof of racism should be more than a gut feeling or generalized narrative.
