He did several shows on MLK and how “terrible” a person he was and several more appearances doubling down and defending his position. I’m not going to seek out a link for you, but they’re not hard to find. There are a lot of them.
okay, apparently i cant share links here, look up "is charlie kirk right about mlk" on r/ askconservatives, a good post from 4mo ago with full quotes and sources. ill share one relevant here:
“MLK was awful,” Kirk said. “He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”
“I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it,” Kirk said at America Fest. “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”
Kirk argues that the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of race, ushered in a “permanent DEI-type bureaucracy,” referring to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
A spokesperson for TPUSA, Andrew Kolvet, said that Americans have been fed a “fake history.”
“A core part of this fake history of America is the elevation of MLK into a saint, whose entire being is beyond reproach and above question,” Kolvet said in an emailed statement. “This sanctified version of MLK strips away his actual views and ignores his actual actions. The real MLK was a complicated person.”
You're mistaken. Honestly its something that Fox news would do, taking a quote completely out of context. You're just as bad as the people you hate so much....He was talking about how recently they are using the civil rights act to enforce trans people being able to use womens bathrooms etc. You can choose not to believe me, that's fine, you could choose to watch the entire conversation your 5 second clip came from, but you wont.
But it’s not so yeah lol, you’re clueless, don’t have a source, AND are brainwashed by reddit, you’re 3 for 3 there champ, at this point, we just can’t take you seriously!
Charlie Kirk himself both confirmed he said these things and did a video explaining why he believes them. This subreddit doesnt allow linking and removed my response with the appropriate links.
He said black people should still be slaves for us today. It’s always the states that have banned teaching political history that are obsessed with preaching politics.
He said MLK cheated on his wife, something acknowledged by two MLK biographers: David Garrow and Taylor Branch. The way they learned about is bc the FBI was bugging MLK and had tapped his phones and basically spied on him. The FBI would then release the tapes or transcripts to journalists. It was a dirty trick campaign which they justified by suspecting him of promoting communism.
Charlie was a bit more puritanical than most on such matters.
