Charlie Kirk’s critics branded him “divisive,” but his defense of common-sense values made him a unifying voice for millions—until the Left sought to silence him.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is exercised that Charlie Kirk once said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was “a mistake.”
Rep. Bennie Thompson sees AOC’s charge and raises it: “The fact is,” he said in an official statement, “Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, and too often rooted in grievance. The beliefs he evangelized normalized fringe views on race, sex, and immigration. Unfortunately, his rhetoric resurrected dangerous prejudices of a dark past.”
Gosh. Here’s a question, Congressman. What sort of grievance would someone have to entertain in order to be moved to describe someone who simply sought to engage young people in conversation as “divisive” and “disparaging?” Follow-up question: Did Charlie Kirk try to “normalize” fringe ideas about “race, sex, and immigration?” Or were the ideas he espoused, in fact (you see that two people can deploy the “in fact” gambit), perfectly normal ideas that reflected the beliefs of millions of Americans, even if those ideas departed from the Washington consensus?
As for the Civil Rights Act, Charlie Kirk did say its expansion was “a huge mistake.” Here’s the context. A student asked Charlie whether he wanted to get rid of the Civil Rights Act. He replied that he thought we should have a one-page bill that outlawed racial discrimination and left it at that. Most Americans, he went on to note, don’t support forcing women’s sports teams to allow men pretending to be women to compete. But the Civil Rights Act has been interpreted to say just that.

He spoke TRUTH.
Kirk was helping America embrace diversity.
People hate the truth. They hated Jesus too.
He separated thinkers from test subjects.
"Over time,” Caldwell noted, “more of the country’s institutions were brought under the act’s scrutiny. Eventually, all of them were.” The act, he noted,
transformed the country not just constitutionally but also culturally and demographically. In ways few people anticipated, it proved to be the mightiest instrument of domestic enforcement the country had ever seen. It can fairly be described as the largest undertaking of any kind in American history. Costing trillions upon trillions of dollars and spanning half a century, it rivals, in terms of energy invested, the peopling of the West, the building of transcontinental railways and highways, the maintenance of a Pax Americana for half a century after World War II, or, for that matter, any of the wars the country has fought, foreign or civil.
Thank you, LBJ (you miserable POS!).
Another reason why I changed the meaning of the initials of AOC to “A*shole Of Congress” because she absolutely is. My uncle lives in her district and says it’s like having a retarded 12 year old as a rep.
Nobody likes her, everytime she shows her donkey face in NYC she gets booed and shouted down, but NYC elections are so incredibly corrupt she “wins” elections. Maybe that will change as more illegals are deported as the suspicion is she uses illegals for votes which is why she constantly puts them in importance above everything else.
“Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, and too often rooted in grievance. The beliefs he evangelized normalized fringe views on race, sex, and immigration. Unfortunately, his rhetoric resurrected dangerous prejudices of a dark past.”
Anytime now someone says the Truth, in virtually any situation, they are called Divisive. They divide. Truth has a way of dividing into the camps who want Truth, and those that want what they want.
If you are a successful conservative debater then you are called “divisive” by the left.
They have been playing this double standard game for years.
I hope they boo AOC at Charlie’s memorial today
Please explain that bizarre comment.
How to say that you've never watched what Charlie Kirk actually did without admitting that you've never watched what Charlie Kirk actually did.
He opened the eyes Of Gen Z men and Erika is the lightening rod for the strong we want it all Gen Z women.
“Kirk was helping America embrace diversity.”
I don’t see it as bizarre at all. Think of Charlie pushing traditional marriage, family, Christ and religious values. Today, that is “diverse” thought.
It’s a clever statement by Paladin2.
Anyone who disagrees with the left is a divisive anti free speech fascist Nazi,
See how that works😎
The left on the other hand is open minded, inclusive, and compassionate as long as you completely agree with them otherwise (see first line)
As
Bongino has said we see the left as people with bad ideas, the lefts sees us as bad people with ideas.
Who in their “right” mind would not want to even feel obligated to kill hitler if they had the opportunity, and since the left sees all of us, like Charlie Kirk, as hitler…..
.
“Today, that is “diverse” thought.”
Indeed!
Thanks for your work Charlie Kirk.
If truth divides, then get your evil arse over thar. I could not care less about you!
