Charlie Kirk In His Own Words

[Prefatory Note: I confess to living under a rock when I say, because it's true, I  never even heard about Charlie Kirk before his death. Given the outpouring of unbridled adulation and the explosion of punitive retributions (e.g., canceling shows and firing people), and eulogies for the loss of the supposed civil discourse he brought to the political arena, I was curious as to what he did believe in. Below is Charlie Kirk in his own words. What this says about the health and sanity of this country I leave to others, except to say: we are in BIG TROUBLE!!!!!]

On Race:

"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified."

"If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?"

"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more."

"If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?"

"If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … 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."

"Prowling Blacks go around for fun to target white people."

On Debate:

"We record all of it so that we put [it] on the internet so people can see these ideas collide. When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence. That’s when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil, and they lose their humanity."

On Gender, Feminism, and Reproductive Rights:

"Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge." [Discussing news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement]

"We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately."

On Gun Violence:

"I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

On Immigration:

"America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that."

"The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white."

"The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."

On Islam:

"America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America."

"We’ve been warning about the rise of Islam on the show, to great amount of backlash. We don’t care, that’s what we do here. And we said that Islam is not compatible with western civilization."

"Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."

On Religion:

There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.
