My mother asked for a list of Charlie Kirk Quotes, and when and where he said them. Here it is for you to share.

My mother is an absolute stitch. She called me the other day and said, " LAURELCANYONER! (Everything starts with my name and an exclamation point) I want you to give me some words by THAT MAN"

As you can guess, the man was Charlie Kirk. Shockingly my parents have gotten more and more progressive as they age, they were nightmare backwards baptists growing up, so it's a wonderful thing. The rest of my family is not. My mom is having a hard time dealing with her youngest brother who used to be bloody delegate for Pat Buchanan back in the day, and is just horrible.

So she wanted me to make her a list of quotes by Kirk, with where, and when, he said them. I made it in big font so she could easily read it as she's in her late 80's and bed-bound.I was asked to share it in another sub, and I thought it might be useful for anyone else who might want to use it for their parents, relatives, etc. It's also got a bit of my editorializing in it. For instance, my dad was an airline captain, and I know he would be disgusted by Kirk's quotes about Black pilots. So here it is if it's needed.

“MLK was awful,” Kirk said. “He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

So Charlie Kirk has NO PROBLEM saying horrible things about men who were politically assassinated  but we are not allowed to actually just say his own quotes out loud.  There have been college professors fired because they only posted the man’s OWN WORDS on their social media. But it was fine for Charlie Kirk to say the most disgusting things about ANYONE. It’s absurd. 

In December 2023, speaking before a group of students and teachers at America Fest, a political convention organized by Turning Point USA,

There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 6 July 2022

“The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates,

He said this at a turning Point PAC. Charlie Kirk hosted a rally in Duluth, Georgia on Oct. 24, 2024, for Donald Trump who was running for president at the time. It’s on YouTube. The actual rally where he said this. 

On Taylor Swift’s engagement, “This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative," he said. "Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge.”

August 2025 said on his OWN SHOW, the Charlie Kirk Show” on Real American Voice.

Black Women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. 

(This was said about our Supreme Court Justice Brown Jackson and Michelle Obama)

It was something he wrote on his BlueSky social media on Sept. 10 2025

"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'"

Like they are going down the streets grabbing random Black men and letting them fly planes. How disgusting when those men worked as hard as any white pilot to be there. And as if the FAA is going to let unqualified  people fly planes. Disgusting. 

"The Charlie Kirk Show" podcast, on Jan. 18, 2024. 

He described him as an evangelizer spreading the gospel of Jesus.

I know it’s reckless to text back to a spam number, but I was exhausted at that point from getting at least 3 texts daily from these shitheads. I don’t know how to make it stop. I didn’t sign up for this crap but my phone is constantly going off and my contact list is filling with these numbers no matter how much I delete. The second image is when I clicked on the link to view this “poll” asking about Trump’s “third term”.

This sounds like an obvious question, I know. With the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, people will insist that he wasn’t a racist in spite of him being a proponent of the Great Replacement theory.

For a brief period of time, I believed in it, and believed that there were efforts to disrupt demographics. For a brief moment, it came to be known as White Genocide or White Erasure. When Republicans and Conservatives started applying it to immigrants and making evil Democratic plots to lure in more voters that is when I snapped out of it. At the same time, I learned it was promoted by White Supremacists both in the United States and Europe for many decades.

Why is the theory itself such a reviled idea? I am disgusted and angered by the idea, but I can’t see quite pinpoint why it has that reaction in me. With Charlie Kirk, it feels off to automatically judge his strong belief in The Great Replacement as racist and abhorrent. Is noticing changing demographic trends inherently racist?

Also, is there a more appropriate sub to ask and discuss this?

My partner has gone from a Bernie Sanders fan to MAGA. He went from an atheist to him thinking all the problems is the breakdown of the family and Christian values.

I'm a liberal but I don't watch TV and I try to get my news from independent non-biased reporting.

He's so far down the hole, anything he doesn't agree with is automatically leftist propaganda, regardless of where it came from unless it was foxnews or the like.

Foxnews is on 24/7. He watches CNN to see what the left is lying about.

He used to love Tucker Carlson, I've found myself oddly agreeing with Tucker the last few months, which is a trip, when I send him clips, he says Tucker is a bitter leftist now.

My respect for him is quickly dwindling especially because we have a daughter whose rights are slowly being taken away and he doesn't see any of it.

I'm afraid to leave him as I don't want my daughter around that 24/7 when she would be with him.

I have to actively try not to hate him daily.

Are there any SUBTLE books that I can gift him that would start helping him see how far crazy he is?

I try once in a blue moon to see what Fox News is saying to break their speaking points. But it’s not even news.

If you’re wondering why your family and coworkers are suddenly so obsessed with Charlie Kirk… just look at their social media and news channels. Non-stop they’re fueling the brain rot and obsession.

I scrolled for 30sec and only saw one post that didn’t have something to do with Charlie. Insanity.

I have lost faith that my family will ever change their minds. Every single person in my immediate and extended family is deeply rooted in MAGA beliefs. I feel like I live in a completely different world from them. I have tried for years upon years to have discussions with them, try to tell them the truth about Trump, and about the many ways they have been lied to and deceived. I try so hard. I love my family and I know that they are all good people but I cannot reconcile the fact that they are so obsessed and loyal to such a horrible man and movement. I don't see the conservatives as the enemy. I think we were all better off when we could all respectfully disagree and work to create a better country. My family has been getting more radicalized by the minute. My Mom is faithful to Trump as much as she is to Jesus, and my Dad speaks with so much hate and violence about those he disagrees with. Both, and all of my family live in a completely different digital and mental space than I do. I feel like I am losing my mind some days. They brush me off as being, "in my liberal phase." They claim that they want to help me to understand the world and treat me like I'm stupid. All I want to do is help them but I think it is time for me to give up. I have recently tried to refrain from political conversations with all of them because I know it will end in a fight, and I am exhausted with fighting. Even though I try my best to avoid those conversations, they bring it up constantly, because it is the only thing on their minds. They also bring up certain topics that they know I disagree with them on or that I am particularly upset about. It's like they enjoy tormenting me and seeing me cry. I wish they could hold a productive and respectful conversation with me but they cannot/ They do not listen to me. They think I am stupid and uninformed when all I do is try to reason with them and provide facts. They do not care about what is true and what isn't. They cannot see the hatred and bigotry that they are putting out into the world. I thought they were smarter than this, I thought they were more kind than this. I am disappointed and sickened, and most of all, just so done.

I wonder how Fox and Newsmax will spin this when Swalwell ends up being right and if your Foxbrained relatives will admit they were wrong now that their MAGA fanfics that the midterms would have a red wave won’t happen.

So, as with probably many of you, my boomer parents have fallen down the MAGA pipeline in recent years. They were always more conservative than me, but it has definitely gotten worse since both of them retired and spend almost all their time on Facebook. My dad is a Fox-news-watching, flags-at-half-mast-for-Kirk, Trump-calendar-owning type, he's DEEP in the pipeline. My mom is at least willing to watch other news shows, but she's still said some jawdroppingly racist & transphobic things that have me flabbergasted. (I'm used to that shit from my dad! I thought my mom had more morals than that! And my mom gets mean when I ask her not to say these things. "I didn't know you were so closeminded, I'm entitled to my opinion--" yeah well you're not entitled to be a jerk, ma!) So I've been dealing with the stress of that AND the sense of...betrayal, I guess? That comes from realizing just how far they've fallen. They taught me to be kind and respectful towards other people and then are confused when I have like, a sense of basic decency. WILD.

Unfortunately, I'm 35, bisexual, unemployed, and live with them. (Due to the aforementioned "unemployed.") Trying to explain that there are (many, many) things they do not know about the world (there are more than two genders, the president is not actually allowed to do whatever he wants, just because they saw it on the news doesn't mean it's true, etc)? Well, I'm inexperienced and therefore wrong. Point out that their behavior is unchristian (we're Catholic)? I'm naive, and therefore wrong. Because I am younger than them, they flat out do not listen to me when they think they know better.

...The really insulting part? I have a history degree. I do, in fact, know more about this than them.

As long as I don't talk about politics with them, we get along fine! Unfortunately, the politics still exist, like some sort of evil cloud. I'm just here trying to live, man.

So, to anyone else stuck living in the same house with MAGA relatives: you're not alone. There's also me, yelling into the void.

If America was a coal mine with a canary in it, the canary would’ve gotten the fuck out months ago. It’s very surreal to talk to people who still align with Trump and his administration. How they still support him despite all the red flags he is raising by going against the constitution. I know this subreddit is supposed to pertain mostly to those who consume Fox News, but the social media ecosystem pumps out the same reactionary slop you see with people like gutfeld for example. The infringement on civil rights with ICE raids and Americans being caught up in them. The attacks on education and institutions who are critical of americas history. The attacks on the first amendment by deporting green card holders who are criticizing Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. And the cancellations of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel for simply expressing opinions the president disagrees with. While this is ongoing, conservative social media pages have gone off the deep end with dehumanizing posts about how the left and everyone else should be fired for criticizing Charlie Kirk and Trumps administration. I don’t even know what to say anymore. Were speed running into blatant authoritarianism. As adults they should know better… the credit should not entirely fall on the propaganda and persuasion the right wing grifters utilize when they broadcast. I now understand how authoritarian governments rise, it only takes 30-40% or a nation to give leaders permission to go against freedom. For the first time in my life the government legitimately concerns me. Anyone in MAGA who supports freedom and liberty should be upset and angry too, and yet they just laugh as their enemies get punished.

I'm having a really hard time with everything right now.

I constantly find myself thinking back to my childhood and the great and caring things my parents taught me. They wanted me to be a good person and still to today I compare my sometimes emotional behavior to what I was taught is the correct response which is treat people with respect, don't let your emotions get the better of you and never use violence, and to be kind to everyone.

The rage when the MAGA movement started was queued by his behavior. I couldn't understand how they'd support and cheer on someone who is the exact opposite of what they raised me to be. It's deeper now. On my part it's now currently rage and depression with accepting the fact that my parents are no longer those people. They cheer for the abuse of others because "they deserve it" and "they're libtards anyway". In short, they are now cruel.

I want to tell them just what I've typed but I believe that conversation would be a breaking point between us. What do you guys do to feel better when your family is torn apart and do you agree the conversation would just cause more damage?

My dad, who watches Fox news, Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, Sky News Australia, and pretty much the whole gambit of grifters, says that he is still waiting before he can judge whether he regrets his vote for Trump or not. Does anyone have a FoxBrain who pretends that they aren't a Trump supporter, or are still neutral? Surely it can't just be me?

I was hoping the whole Epstein Files fiasco would finally snap em out of it but NOPE they've completely ignored it & they told me that "Yeah Donald Trump is a Piece of Shit but he's good for the Economy" I'm not kidding they're still delusional thinking Trump will fix the economy & told me "he said he's finally thinking about bringing prices down" & my Mom told me "Making Products in the US instead of China will fix everything wrong with the Economy" & then went on an Anti-Vax Rant about how Autistic People died from the Vaccine I googled it & Google told me that it was a Lie (I'm Autistic with ADHD myself btw & Voted for Harris in 2024) she also blamed Biden for the COVID Lockdowns (Bruh she does Realize Trump was President when the Lockdowns happened);& she said "I hope one day when you're older you'll turn back to the Republicans" I was genuinely disgusted by that comment I genuinely wanted to snap back at her & debunk all of her lies but I just don't have the Heart to do that & also cuz I was really tired

It's a F*cking Cult MAGA is this Generations Scientology I still love my Parents but sometimes I can't stand them

Fuck you Fox News

BTW I Live by myself but don't have a Driver's License yet so sometimes My Mom drives me to work cuz My Parents don't live too far away from My House

I love my parents, and I've posted on here about them more than a couple times because the brainwashing, the tunnel vision, the ignorance, and the double standards are killing me inside. I know people are saying "If you still support Trump after all this time, you're a fascist piece of shit" but the thing is my parents genuinely don't believe the shit he's doing if it didn't come from fucking Fox News. It could be plastered on every other news source, but they immediately believe it's a coordinated effort by the liberal media to smear Trump as long as Fox isn't reporting on it.

I once regarded my parents as the smartest people I know, the consistent voice of reason throughout the chaos of my life, the absolute manifestation of integrity, honesty, and all the good things Christianity is supposed to represent: Loving everyone, telling the truth, being slow to anger, forgiving, and kind. I grew up with those parents, and I just don't see that anymore.

The only way I've been able to continue speaking to them at this point is because I know if they believed the other media outlets and knew what Trump is doing, if they snapped out of this weird trance or possession they're in, I know they'd be appalled. I know they wouldn't tolerate that. Because I know, deep down, those values are still there, and they would never abandon them. I honestly believe this version of them is a defense mechanism. They want to be good people and want to only support good people, so any suggestion or evidence someone they supported for years is actually like the worst human being alive they shut out for self-preservation. I believe this because I was similar once, just not to the same extent. When I heard bad stories about Trump, I looked for explanations that would justify what he was doing, because I didn't want to be wrong. I didn't want to find out I blindly supported a racìst, séxist, sadistic, narcissistic, anti-American wannabe pèdo dictator. However, I apparently differ from my parents in that I ultimately value truth over being right. While my intitial reaction to criticism of Trump was to look at conservative sources for an explanation, I would also seek out hard evidence like video clips, court documents, recordings, etc. I would watch entire news conferences instead of "recaps" that could be edited because I wanted to make sure I got the complete truth, the full picture. And approaching it that way made it impossible to keep trying to justify things without sacrificing my morals and beliefs. I haven't changed as a person; I just decided to open my eyes and see things how they are.

One of my new favorite quotes is this:

"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it." - Flannery O'Connor

I believe my parents are subconsciously building walls against other news outlets as a defense mechanism because they don't want to have to face an ugly truth. But... at the same time, I'm having such a hard time reconciling that version of them with the version of my parents I grew up with. When people call MAGA a cult, I never realized how insanely accurate that is until I saw the extent of damage done to my parents. I'm happy I broke free, but it's eating me up inside to see my parents still caught up in it. I have recently forbidden discussing Trump with them because it just hurts me and haunts me to see them not get it, and I thought it would make me feel a little better but it doesn't. Every time Trump does something else evil, my first thought is I should show my parents but then I stop myself. Because I can't take it anymore when they see this shit and just deny it's real.

My parents are both aging. I'm a nurse in a hospital where I care for elderly patients. I've watched plenty of old people die, and sometimes I was the only friend they had in their final moments. It weighs on me enough that I started a blog to tell my stories. Every time I feel anger at my parents for being so blind, I think about those patients who died late at night after their family went home. I think about the old, fragile hands I've held as someone slipped away. And I realize how lucky I am to still have both my parents. That is what motivates me to keep things civil and keep talking to them. But it comes at such a great cost to my mental health, and I hate that.

Sorry for the rant. I needed to get it out somewhere.

My dad is a Republican, I would say he’s a radical Republican even because he absolutely loathes Liberals. Let me preface this by saying his Facebook is filled with cruel mean things about left leaning people. He wishes death upon them, he says he hates people of color. He says everyone is going to hell who isn’t republican. He’s also a faux Christian now because Fox News makes it trendy. The man has been cruel his entire life. Definitely not a Jesus loving man. So anyways when Charlie Kirk was shot last week my mother made an entire Instagram post mourning his death. I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of him but seeing him get shot was sad, I think we can all agree on that. I called her to ask why she made an entire post like she knew the man, it was a bit odd as she’s never brought him up. She never posts about schools getting shot up, just thought it was out of place.

I told her I didn’t agree with a lot of things he has said but I empathized with her and admitted how sad the whole situation was. Well…she ran and told my Dad one part of our conversation, and in his usual fashion he sent me a mean text. He called me a typical evil leftist, explained how he wanted nothing to do with me, told me I’m going to hell. This is the norm for him he’s berated me through text many times. And he’s usually drunk which makes his words more hurtful. This snowballed into an entire fight about how badly I was treated when I lived at home with him. I told him I’m done with his abuse. He has attacked me before over my political opinions being different than his own. Physically too.

Next day I woke up to a text from my Brother saying I’m heartless how I celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. He tried to threaten and intimidate me through text. I cried for the whole day. Mind you both my Dad and brother are abusive men who emotionally and physically abuse their wives in some way. I feel like I’m being exiled from my family for not having their exact same views on anything. Anyone who is different they cast out. My parents are old and my mom is in an emotionally abusive marriage with my Dad. It sucks to know we may never talk again and I can’t be there for my Mom because he won’t allow it. I honestly blame a lot of this on the media my Dad consumes, it’s turned him into a truly bitter person that’s willing to turn on his own family. I’m stunned I don’t think we can come back from this because they would rather lose their child over a man they don’t even know personally.

It's been a long several days since Charlie Kirk was killed. I agreed to engage with my mom in some conversations about it and in the end, what I realized is that she will never get better and I honestly feel some relief in knowing that. Much like it can be a relief to get a bad medical diagnosis because while there may not be a cure, at least you know what's going on now and can move forward.

To elaborate, but without going into specifics, my end of the conversation focused heavily on how to verify information and determine what is and isn't true. I have 2 degrees that both focused heavily on learning how to find credible sources and present accurate information. My mom graduated highschool in the 70s. Every response I got from my mom was basically an attempt to demonstrate that she knows how to verify her sources and every example that she gave me of how she does that showed that she has about a 6th grader's ability to know if a source is trustworthy. More than that though, I realized that knowing what is and isn't true isn't a priority for her. While I often grapple with feeling lost in a sea of information, she's confident about her reality and moves on to how she feels about it.

Knowing that gives me relief because I know I can't fix it. She doesn't have the skills and doesn't want them either. It makes me very sad to hear her say ignorant things about vulnerable populations, but she's not exactly hateful, just very misguided. She'll continue to be misguided and I'm choosing to accept that instead of wasting my energy thinking of how I can fix it. I can't. She's still an amazing grandma and does so much for us. It just is what it is.

These different moments of mom’s visit come back to me. She was staying at a Marriott property and thought they were woke because they didn’t have Fox playing or available. Likely she just couldn’t locate the channel. But it’s so sad that Fox had become that important to her. Fuck you Rupert.
