The Fake News Media, Democrats and Radical Left are Lying about Charlie Kirk
They use their lies to justify and excuse Charlie Kirk's brutal murder and their culpability for it for winding up the radical leftist fringe with their violent rhetoric
Leftist political violence is on the rise with Fake News Media, Democrat politicians, activists and the far left using more and more radical, violent rhetoric. I wrote about the violent rhetoric (and leftist political violence) on this substack, several times (see also here and here). I also observed previously that the far left consider political violence a tool and that the violent rhetoric serves to “trigger” the radical leftist fringe into acting out violence. The visceral response Americans had to the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk only days ago made the media, Democrats and their enablers “circle the wagons” and start fabricating lies and misinformation about Charlie Kirk. I debunk a couple of the nastier lies in this article.
The Black Women Don’t Have Brain Power Lie
One of the false claims used by the Democrats and leftists generally to justify or excuse the murder of Charlie Kirk is the utterly illegitimately claim that Charlie Kirk said “Black Women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.” Here is a screenshot of these exact words in quotes from a post on X:
Here is another:
This particular LIE traveled all over the world. Just enter a search in your favorite search engine for “Did Charlie Kirk say black women do not have brain processing power” and you will pull up HUNDREDS of these false quotations.
What Did Charlie Kirk Actually Say?
AT NO TIME did he say “black women” lack brain processing power. He said several prominent liberal women who admitted they were assisted by affirmative action were admitting they lacked the “brain processing power to be taken really seriously.”
The comments at issue were made on the July 13, 2023 episode of Charlie Kirk’s podcast. During the show, Charlie discusses affirmative action. Affirmative action was a particularly hotly debated topic at the time due to the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard wherein SCOTUS found the use of race-based affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
After the Supreme Court’s opinion in Harvard a number of prominent black Democrats publicly supported affirmative action and stated they were personally assisted in their careers by affirmative action. Among these were the late Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat Congresswoman from Texas, former First Lady Michelle Obama and former MSNBC correspondent Joy Reid.
In response to these public statements by prominent black, female Democrats that their careers were assisted by affirmative action, Kirk stated on the podcast:
“. . . if we would’ve said that Joy Reed and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would’ve been called racist.”
Here is a screenshot of these comments from the transcript of the podcast at the 28 minute mark:
Then Kirk observes:
But now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us and they’re coming out and they’re saying, I’m only here because of affirmative action. Yeah, we know you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to be taken somewhat seriously. Play cut 52.
Here is the screenshot of these comments from the transcript of the podcast at the 28:54 mark:
Kirk then cuts to a video of Sheila Jackson Lee making a speech in Congress stating “But, I rise today as a clear recipient of affirms, affirmative action and particularly in higher education.”
The transcript of the show may be found here. (At that same website you can listen to the audio of the episode as you follow along reading the transcript.)
All Charlie Kirk said was these four women, who he observed admitted affirmative action assisted their careers, lacked the “brain processing power” to be taken seriously. Period. End of story.1
Yet, in their effort to excuse or justify the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk, the Fake News Media, many Democrats, liberals and leftist radicals FALSELY claim Charlie Kirk claimed “black women” generally lack brain processing power. What a bunch of lying hacks.
The Charlie Kirk Called for Stoning Gay People LIE
Literally hours after his murder, prominent leftists started circulating false claims that Charlie Kirk advocated for or supported stoning gay people to death. Chief among the purveyors of this misinformation was famous author (and radical leftist) Stephen King.
Fox News personality Jesse Waters posted a brief statement in support of Charlie Kirk after the shooting stating Charlie was not “controversial” or “polarizing,” but that he was “a Patriot.” Stephen King replied:
Another prominent journalist, British journalist and political activist, Alastair Campbell, spread this same misinformation in a segment of his podcast on September 13, 2025.
Did Charlie Kirk “Advocate” for Stoning Gays?
No, of course not. In fact, Charlie Kirk advocated repeatedly for caring for gay people and encouraged and supported gay conservatives. (This link is to a gay conservative Charlie supported. His video is worth watching and includes video of Charlie Kirk answering questions from gay people.)
Charlie Kirk was a Christian and believed in the Bible. Based on Scripture, Charlie knew homosexuality was a sin. Naturally, this enraged the far left. To justify or excuse Charlie’s murder the far left FABRICATED the claim that Charlie Kirk “advocated” for “stoning gays.” All Charlie Kirk did was reference Scripture. Here is what happened.
Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec hosted a podcast called Thoughtcrime. During a Thoughtcrime episode on June 8, 2024, Jack and Charlie (along with a couple of other frequent conservative contributors to the show) discussed a social media personality named Miss Rachel and her endorsement of Pride month (gay pride). Miss Rachel’s social media and blogging content focuses largely on kids and parenting. Miss Rachel made a post about suppoting Pride month and invoked the Bible in the process, citing the admonitions on the Book of Matthew to “love your neighbor.” Miss Rachel implied, but did not expressly say, anyone who is against Pride Month, is not being a good Christian.
In response, Charlie Kirk pointed out you love someone by “. . . by telling them the truth and not by confirming or affirming their sin.” He then suggested Miss Rachel read the rest of the Scriptures and pointed out the Book of Leviticus calls for a man who lays with another man to be stoned, making the point Miss Rachel was cherry-picking Bible verses. He also pointed out the Bible says to love God, one must love his law and that the Book of Leviticus lays down God’s law about sex.
These screenshots display Charlie Kirk’s comments:
The link to the transcript is here. (Again, you can listen to the audio at the same link and follow along as you read the transcript.)
All Charlie Kirk did was point out this social media personality, Miss Rachel, was selectively relying on Scriptures to confirm or affirm sin and, by doing so, she was actually not showing love to sinners. Charlie pointed out a Christian loves someone by helping him or her correct the sinful conduct.
Leftist extremists can (and often do) employ this same illegitimate tactic against any Christian who quotes the Bible. A person quotes Scripture and then the lefties (and usually their minions in the media) claim the Christian endorses stoning gays or adulterers or supports animal sacrifice or whatever the quote pertained to.2
Stephen King himself agreed his own post was untrue and apologized for the post:
Alastair Campbell apologized as well on September 14, 2025:
At least Stephen King and Alastair Campbell apologized. (King actually apologized multiple times.) That does not happen very often.
Conclusion
The Fake News Media, the Democrats and the left generally are in panic mode working to spread lies about Charlie Kirk in an effort to blunt public opinion against their radical, violent rhetoric and leftist violence. These two lies are the worst in my view. There are many more other lies being spread about Charlie Kirk by the left. Keep that in mind as you read any media reports. (I will probably address more of this propaganda in future articles.)
Please keep Charlie and his wife and children in your prayers. Charlie Kirk was a man of deep principle whom I admired greatly. He died because of his beliefs. He died because leftist radicals despise normalcy, decency and the Gospel. We all need to speak up and shut down the liars spreading misinformation about him. And we need to pick up his banner and make sure the principles and beliefs Charlie Kirk died for live on.

I researched the issue briefly, but was unable to locate any verification that Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated publicly that affirmative action helped her career.
I quote Leviticus chapter 20, verse 13 (this is the provision about homosexuality being an abomination) on rare occasions when discussing homosexuality and the Bible. The point is the Bible clearly states God’s disapproval of this sexual conduct. That does not mean I, or anyone citing the provision, “advocates” for killing anyone. Only an anti-Christian extremist would claim otherwise.
Great article. Charlie Kirk was a wonderful, caring man. It's a shame the way he is being demonized by the left. Thank you for putting forth the facts
