Smearing The Dead: The Left Lies About Charlie Kirk

People are lying about Charlie Kirk — and it may be they are trying to justify the violence against him. 

If your response to someone getting killed in the political realm is, “Man, too bad they were killed, but …” — if your response to that is to slander him by attributing to him beliefs he did not have, then you are part of the problem and fomenting the permission structure for violence. Charlie was as normie as they come.

Jemele Hill, who has just made a joke of herself — it is shocking to me that at any point she was taken seriously — said Charlie believed in the innate superiority of white people. 

She is a liar. A liar. Anybody who knew Charlie, who consumed Charlie’s content, knows this isn’t true. It is an overt, complete lie, soup to nuts. Charlie literally fought a rhetorical war, a flame war with the Groypers, who do believe in white superiority. He fought to keep them out of his movement. It was called the Groyper Wars in 2019. I remember it because I was there.

“The reason he was labeled a white supremacist is because he believed in the superiority of white people, which is why he said that he would be concerned if he saw a black pilot, which is why he said that he questioned the brain processing of brilliant minds such as Joy-Ann Reid and Ketanji Brown Jackson, because he ultimately believed in the superiority of white people,” Hill stated.

She is such a liar. What he said about the black pilots was — in what is a commonly-made argument — that affirmative action assumes that black people need extra points in order to achieve the same result as a person who is not black. And what that does is seed doubt in the minds of people, who then see black people in particular slots, and that’s unfair to black people.

That was the argument that Charlie was making, that black people aren’t inferior and therefore don’t need extra points to become pilots, for example. They don’t need DEI to become good pilots. And when you stack DEI on top of the meritocracy, what you end up with is a false perception of the inferiority of particular peoples.

What Charlie said was “anti-racist.”

As far as his point about Ketanji Brown Jackson or Joy Reid not being particularly bright, he was correct, because they are not. It turns out they’re a bunch of white people who are also dumb. These happen to be black people who are dumb. Who cares?

Charlie didn’t do that because of their race; he said it because they are truly dumb.

Don Lemon — who couldn’t hold down that job over at CNN and who now has a viewership of only my viewers  — because his only viewership is when we play his clips on my show — was very upset with all the tributes being paid to Charlie. He tore into Charlie, saying, “The things that came out of Charlie Kirk’s mouth were many. Much of it was hurtful, discriminatory, ignorant. And I’ll stop there, to say the least.”

If Don Lemon says so, it must be false.

A pastor named Howard-John Wesley at the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., went viral over the course of the last 48 hours for issuing a massive rebuke of Charlie, yelling: 

But I’m overwhelmed, seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage, who are mad about Charlie Kirk but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there is nowhere in Bible where we are taught to honor evil. And how you die does not redeem how you lived.

How disgusting. Truly disgusting. Nothing he said is true. It’s this kind of rhetoric, calling Charlie “evil,” — not ISIS, not Hamas — that is all part and parcel of the far-Left attempt to paint everyone on the Right as the worst version of evil.

Longtime Washington Post writer Karen Attia was fired after falsely quoting Charlie. She accused Charlie of saying, “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.”

There should be consequences for saying vile things in the real world. We have to be pretty careful about where we apply those consequences — but we shouldn’t pretend that there should be no consequences in the real world.

And lying about Charlie in the wake of his death is truly despicable.
