ChatGPT Answer: "Here are real statements or positions by Charlie Kirk that many people (on the left or elsewhere) find “awful” or deeply objectionable."

 From ChatGPT 9-20-25

You said: I've been looking for the words that Charlie Kirk has said/written that have made so many on the left applaud his murder. Everything I've seen was simply not true. He either never said it (it was made up by others) or it was taken out of context. Do you know of any REAL statements that were "awful"?

Here are real statements or positions by Charlie Kirk that many people (on the left or elsewhere) find “awful” or deeply objectionable. Some are controversial, some decontextualized, but all have enough evidence to show they actually occurred. I’ll try to present them fairly, with context where possible.

Some of Charlie Kirk’s controversial / criticized statements

1. “Huge mistake” passing the Civil Rights Act

   • Kirk has said that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a “huge mistake,” claiming it “created a permanent DEI‐type bureaucracy.” Delaware Black+3FactCheck.org+3Adrian Cruce's Blog+3

   • He also called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “an awful person,” saying King is only revered because of “[one thing] he didn’t actually believe.” FactCheck.org+2The Standard+2

2. Jewish donors / Jewish money statements

   • After Oct 7, 2023 (the Hamas attack), Kirk said: “Jewish donors are finally realizing that they've spent decades subsidizing Jew hatred on campus.” He also argued that those donors had been “the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical, open border neoliberal quasi‐Marxist policies … secular Jews” etc. Delaware Black+3FactCheck.org+3Adrian Cruce's Blog+3

   • Note: the exact phrase “Jewish money is ruining U.S. culture” might be a paraphrase, not a precise quote, but the views described are close to what he has said. Adrian Cruce's Blog+2FactCheck.org+2

3. Gun deaths “worth it” for protecting the Second Amendment

   • Kirk has said: “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.” Many criticize this as morally insensitive, because it appears to accept loss of life as collateral damage.

4. Transgender / LGBTQ+ remarks

   • He said about Imane Khelif (an Algerian athlete) in the 2024 Olympics: “This entire ideology is pure evil,” after Khelif -- who identifies as a woman -- defeated a female boxer. Kirk argued that a “biological man” was competing unfairly. Advocate.com

5. Denial or strong criticism of “white privilege” and DEI

   • He frequently dismisses white privilege, calling it a “racist lie,” and argues that DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs are unfair, reverse discriminatory, or ideological tools that undermine merit. Delaware Black+1

6. “Great Replacement” rhetoric

   • Kirk has been reported to express that the “Great Replacement” is not a theory but a reality, in the context of immigration and demographic change.
