NYT Forced To Issue Correction After Making Egregiously False Claim About Charlie Kirk
Daily Caller ^ | September 12, 2025 | Nicole Silverio Media Reporter

The New York Times issued a correction on Thursday after falsely accusing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk of making an antisemitic claim on his podcast.

The Times falsely accused Kirk of stating on his podcast in 2023 that Jewish communities are “pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites” that they want people to stop using against them. However, Kirk cited a tweet making that claim and critiqued it, causing the Times’ correction to be made.

“An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an antisemitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement,” the correction reads.

In actuality, Kirk clarified that not all Jews are pushing hatred onto white people. He stated that certain communities have pushed it by supporting left-wing causes such as Black Lives Matter.

“Now let me just say, this is not a very well-written tweet. It’s very confusing. I’ll go through what they’re basically saying here. Half of this tweet is true, half of it, I don’t like. You want the truth said to your face. There it is. Elon responds, and he says you have said the actual truth … But the first part is absolutely true. Let’s go to this. Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” Kirk said.

“Now I don’t like generalizations. Not every Jewish person believes that. But it is true, the Anti-Defamation League was part and parcel with Black Lives Matter. It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans,” Kirk said.

After his death, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to Kirk as a “lionhearted friend of Israel” who “stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.”

The entirety of the article appeared critical of Kirk’s conservative views, such as his belief that teachers should not push gender ideology onto children. It also noted that Kirk criticized society’s fixation on race and condemnation of George Floyd, who factually had a lengthy criminal history before his death on May 25, 2020.

The article stated that Kirk “dismissed concerns” about climate change and that he rejected the idea that global warming is an “existential threat.”

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson for the assassination of Kirk on Friday following a large-scale manhunt. President Donald Trump revealed on “Fox & Friends” that someone “very close” to Robinson turned him in

NYT headline was Kirk “died at age 31.” Did they find the cause of death?

Charlie Kirk was a decent human being who loved all human beings. He was even a Zionist an ardent Israel supporter. But the leftists+Islamist journalists infested NYT can’t stand it.

It reminds NYT titles on Arab Fakestinian frequent terror attacks as: “an explosion” or a “shooting”.

Scott Adams said a profundity the other day: “Democrats have been hypnotized by the media into believing we’re living in Hitler’s Germany.”

><

Most democrats who use the Nazi slur, have never even studied the Nazis.

Yeah, there are a ton of Sephardic Jews in NM, too.

But they are white! Or at lease “white hispanic”.

I’m just wondering if “white” means WASP now.

If that is the case, this 3/4 Norwegian 1/4 Irish guy is not “white” bc I’m Catholic.

Some Jews in Israel and Ethiopia are black, actually. A few are positively Nordic. Jews have the same racial spread as North Americans except for the Amerind part.

Yeah, I agree. I’m just confused by the “not white” claim (up in the original post, before we got off on a tangent down here one thread).

Most are white, some are not. Why are they calling the white Jewish people not white?

The left is split on the matter. Those who are trying to claim Jews as allies call them Not-White. Those that see them as the hated enemy call them White.

The unprovoked Israeli airstrike in Doha on September 9, 2025, prompted a meeting between Donald Trump and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

On September 9, 2025, Israel pre-emptorily launched an airstrike in Doha, Qatar, knowing full well the extent of US foreign policy in the region.

The Israelis were apparently unconcerned that the bombing incident risked undermining US-backed ceasefire efforts and escalated regional tensions, and horrifically undermined American families’ safety and security.

The Israeli attack, marshaled by Israel’s Netanyahu, caused a diplomatic crisis, with Qatar’s’Foreign Minister describing it as Israeli “state terrorism” and Qatar refuting claims that it had been pre-informed.

In response, the Qatari Prime Minister traveled to the US to meet with U.S. officials. On September 12, 2025, Donald Trump dined with the Qatari Prime Minister and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in New York.

Trump had previously expressed frustration with Israel’s unilateral action, and its never-ending bombing spree with a double impact: (a) to increase Netanyahu’s sagging popularity and (b) to undermine US foreign policy.

Trump assured Qatar that such an attack would not happen again.

The Prime Minister’s visit also included a meeting at the White House with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where they discussed the strike and future cooperation.
