    Charlie Kirk was a despicable, privileged, agent
    of hate, intolerance, bigotry and racism, who
    advocated for the sacrifice of innocent children
    on the alter of an infantile gun rights
    interpretation.
    From Wikipedia:
    Promotion of falsehoods and conspiracy theories
    According to Forbes, Kirk was known for "his
    repudiation of liberal college education and
    embrace of pro-Trump conspiracy theories."[38]
    Kirk promoted the antisemitic Cultural Marxism
    conspiracy theory, and described universities as
    "islands of totalitarianism."
    In a 2015 speech at the Liberty Forum of Silicon
    Valley, Kirk stated that he had applied to the
    United States Military Academy in West Point, New
    York, and was not accepted.[13] He said that "the
    slot he considered his went to 'a far less-
    qualified candidate of a different gender and a
    different persuasion'" whose test scores he
    claimed he knew. He told The New Yorker in 2017
    that he was being sarcastic when he said it. He
    told the Chicago Tribune in 2018 that "he was just
    repeating something he'd been told",[5][41] while
    at a New Hampshire Turning Point event featuring
    Rand Paul in October 2019 he claimed that he never
    said it.
    In July 2018, Kirk falsely claimed on social media
    that Justice Department statistics showed an
    increase in human trafficking arrests from 1,952
    in the year 2016 to 6,087 in the first half of
    2018. He deleted the tweet without an explanation
    the next day, after a fact-checker had pointed out
    that the false 2018 number had originated on a
    conspiracy site 8chan.[42][43]
    In December 2018, Kirk falsely claimed that
    protesters in the French yellow vests movement
    chanted, "We want Trump." These false claims were
    later repeated by President Trump himself.[44]
    Kirk spread falsehoods about voter fraud[45][46]
    and the COVID-19 pandemic.[38] In defending the
    Trump administration's response to the COVID-19
    pandemic, Kirk falsely stated that, during the
    H1N1 swine flu pandemic, it "took President Barack
    Obama 'millions infected and over 1,000 deaths'"
    to declare a public health emergency.[47][48]
    COVID-19 misinformation
    Kirk spread false information and conspiracy
    theories about COVID-19 on social media platforms,
    such as Twitter, in 2020. Kirk sharply criticized
    Democrats' criticism of Donald Trump's withdrawal
    of World Health Organization (WHO) funding and
    referred to COVID-19 as the "China virus", which
    was retweeted by Trump.[8]
    Kirk alleged that the WHO covered up information
    about the COVID-19 pandemic. He was briefly banned
    from Twitter after falsely claiming that
    hydroxychloroquine had proved to be "100%
    effective in treating the virus";[8] he alleged
    that Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of
    Michigan, threatened doctors who tried to use the
    medication.[8] These falsehoods were retweeted by
    Rudy Giuliani whose account was then suspended by
    Twitter as well.[8][49] Kirk also described the
    public health measure of social distancing
    prohibitions in churches as a "Democratic plot
    against Christianity" and made the unfounded
    assertion that authorities in Wuhan, China, were
    burning patients.[8] In 2020, Kirk said that he
    refused to abide by mask requirements, stating
    that "the science around masks is very
    questionable."[38][50]
    In July 2021, Kirk promoted misleading claims
    about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19
    vaccines.[18] On Fox News' Tucker Carlson show,
    Kirk called mandatory requirements for students to
    take the COVID-19 vaccine "medical apartheid".[51]
    Election fraud claims and the 2021 United States
    Capitol attack
    Immediately after Donald Trump lost the 2020
    presidential election, Kirk promoted false and
    disproven claims of fraud in the election.[52][53]
    On November 5, 2020, Kirk was the leader of a Stop
    the Steal protest at the Maricopa Tabulation
    Center in Phoenix.[54]
    Charlie Kirk was considered a "big name" social
    influencer in Rudy Giuliani's communications plan
    to overturn the 2020 election.[55]
    On January 5, 2021, the day before the Washington,
    D.C., protest that led to the January 6 United
    States Capitol attack, Kirk wrote on Twitter that
    Turning Point Action and Students for Trump were
    sending more than 80 "buses of patriots to D.C. to
    fight for this president".[56][57][58] A spokesman
    for Turning Point said that the groups ended up
    sending seven buses, not 80, with 350 students.
    [56][59] In the lead-up to the storming, Kirk said
    he was "getting 500 emails a minute calling for a
    civil war."[60] Publix heiress Julie Fancelli gave
    Charlie Kirk's organizations $1.25 million to fund
    the buses to the January 6 event. Kirk also paid
    $60,000 for Kimberly Guilfoyle to speak at the
    Trump rally.[61]
    Afterward, Kirk said the violent acts at the
    Capitol were not an insurrection and did not
    represent mainstream Trump supporters.[62][63]
    Appearing before the United States House Select
    Committee on the January 6 Attack, Charlie Kirk
    pleaded the Fifth Amendment privilege against
    self-incrimination. His team however "provided the
    committee with 8,000 pages of records in response
    to its requests."[64] In another closed-door
    meeting of the House January 6 Committee, Ali
    Alexander blamed Kirk and Turning Point USA for
    financing the travel of demonstrators to the Stop
    the Steal rally.[65]
    Climate change
    Kirk consistently supported the extraction and use
    of fossil fuels. He was a climate change
    denialist, claiming that humans have no
    significant effect on global climate change.[6]
