The left and their media allies have taken to assassinate Kirk’s character, twisting his words, distorting his record, and in many cases, just making things up out of thin air.
fter Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the left and their media allies have taken to assassinating his character, twisting his words, distorting his record, and in many cases, just making things up out of thin air.
Here are some of the most egregious lies about Kirk.
Claim: Charlie Kirk Said Black People Were Better Off In Slavery This claim has been circulated amongst several social media users and even outlets like BET, where writer T. Ballard alleged Kirk “suggested Black Americans were ‘better off during slavery.'”
No search produces any verifiable proof that Kirk said such a thing — and Ballard of course doesn’t link to a single source. The closest clip anyone has pointed to comes from a roundtable debate (1:26:00) about the constitutionality of affirmative action in which Kirk condemned Jim Crow as “evil” before pointing out data that shows black Americans are poorer today than they were in the 1950’s prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act (which effectively ended the Jim Crow laws).
The woman he was debating asked whether Kirk was trying to suggest that blacks “thrived under subjugation.” (At this point, Kirk had pointed out that since the 1965 Civil Rights Act, blacks became poorer, black fathers left the homes in mass droves, and crime rates amongst blacks shot up whereas during the 1940’s and 1950’s those things were opposite).
“The data shows [blacks] were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad, it was evil, but what happened? Something changed?” Kirk asked, seemingly referencing Jim Crow subjugation — not slavery.
Claim: Kirk Said Black Women Have Inferior Intelligence According to social media users, Kirk said black women did not have “the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.”
It’s a claim Snopes rated “True” even though Snopes admitted in the fine print that Kirk was referring to four specific women, not “black women” as a whole.
During a July 13, 2023 episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk was talking about Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us! They’re coming out and they’re saying, ‘I’m only here because of affirmative action,'” Kirk said. “Yeah, we know. 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.”
Kirk was criticizing four women he believed to be unqualified. But the left took a targeted criticism and inflated it into a blanket statement against an entire demographic.

Sadly, those in celebration won’t ever consider any other point of fact.
And if the statement happens to be true, it should be valid on its face, but we all know that ain’t gonna hold.
Bkmk
They never do.
“Black People Were Better Off In Slavery” this was a claim by democrats leading up to the civil war.
We all need to read this and memorize it, so we can defend Charlie against the slander they try to use as justification for murdering him. One quibble. Charlie did not say that Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson were stupid, but rather he was pointing out that they themselves were implying that they were not qualified for the jobs they had, because they all said they only got those jobs because of DEI policies.
Anyone arguing with that will not understand the minutiae. They hear what will reinforce their position. You cannot reason someone out of something they have not been reasoned into.
Then what do you suggest? Do nothing?
Outnumber them and outwork them. The latter will be the easiest part.
Therefore, it leads me to believe that that Charlie said it but also added the reasons why. Leftists and the media are very good at leaving out relevant parts to push their agenda.
And the fact that I can't find an actual video on numerous search engines leads me to believe that it's a nothingburger.
If anyone can help me with this, it would very appreciated.
Megan Kelley’s podcast stated that Charlie was wearing a bullet proof vest and the bullet ricocheted off the vest into his neck.
Anyone else hear this?
