""This 'family-values man' said gay people are an error [and] transgender people are mental. So, apparently, free speech is only acceptable if you're on the right.""
""The co-founder of Turning Point USA was well-known for his anti-LGBTQ+ and racist views, including the " groomer " conspiracy theory. In addition, podcaster Kirk was a believer of the "Great Replacement" theory, a white nationalist conspiracy that alleges white European and Western groups are being culturally replaced by non-white or marginalised people through mass migration or birth rates. He also said Black women "do not have the brain power to be taken seriously" and accused Democrats of wanting to make the US "less white".""
""Abigail drew presenter Feltz's attention to Charlie Kirk's views, including his belief that empathy was a "made-up, new age term," as well as comments from April 2023 when he said gun deaths were " worth it " to preserve the Second Amendment in the US, which protects the right to keep and bear firearms.""
A caller on LBC, Abigail, rejected portrayals of Charlie Kirk as a "family-values man," citing his anti-LGBTQ+ and racist remarks. Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA and a podcaster, promoted the "groomer" conspiracy and the "Great Replacement" theory and made derogatory comments about Black women. Kirk was shot in the neck during an open-air debate at Utah Valley University after addressing claims about transgender mass shooters and later died at age 31. Abigail also highlighted Kirk's statements that empathy is a "made-up, new age term" and that some gun deaths were "worth it" to protect the Second Amendment.
