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"?
ChatGPT said:
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
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
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
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.

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
On more general transgender issues, he has said things like: “The one issue I think that is so against our senses, so against the natural law … is the transgender thing happening in America right now.”Asianet Newsable
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
“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.

"They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest. There are calls for Kimmel to be fired. I think you could certainly see a path forward for suspension over this."
Continued Carr, "The FCC could make a strong argument that this is sort of an intentional effort to mislead the American people about a very core fundamental fact, a very important matter.
He then turned to a personal attack on his city's resident, accusing Barham of being "a bigot, and you are racist, and you're an Islamophobe. Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city."

The problem is that the accused killer, who said, “I got that white girl,” after stabbing the young woman, was someone whom police call a “frequent flier.”...
He and Iryna are both symbols, now, but of very different things.
Iryna is a symbol of the horrors that can befall someone.
The accused killer? A symbol of everything wrong with our system, and the truth is that the government will either step up and address the problem, or regular people will...
He was walking around despite his mental health issues being well-known to the authorities.
And he was just released from his previous arrest a short time before this brutal murder, with a written promise to show up to court.
No bail, no requirement to seek mental health treatment.
Nope, just a pinky swear that he’d be in court at the appointed time...
One of the major subjects of the video can be heard arguing with a gathering crowd: "Charlie Kirk is definitely not the morals I support or the religion I support where you're taught to love your neighbor."
Probably the worst crime a journalist can commit is attributing to someone a statement–putting it in quotation marks–that the person never said.
That would get you fired from a 9th grade student paper. But it is exactly what former Washington Post “journalist” Karen Attiah did, on the BlueSky hate platform:
The quote Attiah attributed to Charlie Kirk?
He never said it.
She just made it up.
Her fabrication was rapidly exposed on X, and The Washington Post did the only thing it could, confronted with such misconduct: they fired her...
The New York Times exists for the sole purpose of misinforming its readers.
The good news is that hardly anyone still takes that paper seriously.
The Times’s long record of fabrication and misinformationhas caught up with it.
