Charlie Kirk, a racist who helped divide the United States while profiting from those divisions, was murdered yesterday at the age of 31.
I’ve watched our “free” press, which has been terrorized by far-right extremists like Mr. Kirk, to the point where they fail to do their jobs; to tell the truth about who he was, and that while no one deserves to be murdered, it does not help anyone to lionize him; and knew I had to write something. If you believe so strongly in the “free speech” that Mr. Kirk said he believed in, you will share or at least read this article, I hope. Yes, you, the foaming at the mouth, far-right radical currently looking for my home address.
Kirk was a racist; a fascist who participated in the January 6 insurrection; and a divider who profited off pain and suffering in the United States. It’s just that simple.
Did you know Mr. Kirk once created a “watch list” of professors that he disagreed with? Yes, the “King Of Free Speech” created the, “Professor Watchlist,” with unsubtle McCarthy-like overtures, which led to virulent harassment, and physical danger for academics who dared to express themselves - the same qualities that he claimed to support.
Did you know he was a racist, disgusting piece of trash? Here’s Kirk in his own words:
“Kentanji Brown Jackson is a diversity hire. She is only there because she’s a black woman.” -June 27, 2025.
"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.” -January 23, 2024.
“Brown professor Glenn Loury says what too many have taken too long to say: Derek Chauvin did not murder George Floyd. The man on the brink of death from stab wounds in a prison hospital is a political prisoner.” December 7, 2023
“Muhammad is the number 1 boys name in the UK for the second straight year, and for every year going forward it’s not going to be close. The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory, it’s government policy.” -August 23, 2025.
You get the picture.
Kirk ran the far-right “debate” scam which is ubiquitous on the right - facing off with a much less experienced college student, he would successfully browbeat them into looking dumb. Then he would publish the video, and everyone would laugh at them.
That was his brand. He was a far-right bully who hurt people.
He did not deserve to be assassinated by a still-unknown perpetrator, and I hope that individual is arrested and charged with murder.
But I personally won't miss him.
