Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is applauding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, saying the two-time NFL MVP showed "courage and conviction" after facing criticism for sharing Kirk’s faith-based post on X that read, "It’s all about Jesus."

"I just want to say to Lamar… you are more than welcome in this big movement that we are building…" the conservative influencer told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, referencing reports of a Christian revival in America. "You could be a Democrat, you could be on the left. I don't care. Jesus is honestly the most important thing."

The quarterback’s X timeline is filled with religious content, with posts such as "God is Good" and Bible verses from other accounts. His political beliefs, however, remain unclear.

We’re going to need every leader from all walks of life to step out like Lamar and Chris Pratt. We need voices from younger leaders and pick up the sword of truth that was shot out of Charlie’s hand.

If they want to be a Christian, They would have to lead the Democrat Party.

If they want to be Christian, they need to LEAVE the DemoKKKrat party.

I honestly don’t understand Lamar — he talks the talk but then he’s all blinged up with diamond teeth and chains and it just throws the message off for me. I want to like him but there’s this weird disconnect with him and the team being so nasty and “thuggish” (for want of a better word).

But I do appreciate him and also the Chiefs kicker (Harrison Butker) for not backing down in the face of a lot of pushback about expressing their beliefs — there are others as well ...

Sometimes I don’t know why Ravens are more thuggish than other teams to anyone outside. They all have the same ratio of blacks, almost always trash from the hood.

Meanwhile the NFL keeps chastising us on the sideline to stop being racists!

My biggest problem with Jackson is he’s pretty ugly. :-)
