I don't know what to say beyond "you're incorrect" but I'll try I guess. Unbiased? C'mon. Charlie wasn't some blind scale master.
Kirk’s promotion of free speech was tinged with hypocrisy, look atTurning Point USA’s “Professor Watchlist,” in which students were asked to list professors with leftist positions, for just the official tip of the fatberg
He said America wasn't fixated on race until 'The Left' started 'venerating' the 'awful person' that was MLK jr
Mr. Kirk believed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a destructive force in American politics, calling its passage a “mistake” that he said has been turned into “an anti-white weapon.”
He said people like me and my friends should be stoned to death in the streets just for being who we were born as.
He was a proponent of “replacement theory,” a once-fringe conspiracy theory positing that Jews are trying to replace white Americans with nonwhite immigrants. That ideology directly spread by Kirk motivated the gunman who killed 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018.
“The philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country,” - Charlie Kirk, The Charlie Kirk Show, 2023
“America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank, large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America." -Charlie Kirk, April 2025
That's what he was, what his 'thought' was.
So in short I do not see how he was ever fair, balanced, or non hypocritical
Kirk promoted unbiased non hypocritical discussion not that he was himself unbiased and not hypocritical.
I'm not claiming he was fair or balanced he simply encourage discussions that where so.
Also why u bring up all the things he has said about the Jews? U also forgot the part where he refused to take funding from an Israeli backed Jewish organisation for turning point USA as he wanted to distance himself and give himself more freedom to talk about his concerns regarding Israel (gaza) and the Jews. This was 2 days prior to his assassination. Not to mention all the other inconsistencies related to his Israel's commentary on his assassination, and his commentary of Israel leading up to his assassination. I'm not saying anything but the coincidences are getting unrealistically numerous.
