Let me state unequivocally that Charlie Kirk's assassination is a pure act of evil.. It was not justified. He leaves behind a family for whom I feel great sympathy and empathy. He and they belong in our prayers.
But here are some of his more outrageous comments.
On gun violence
Quote:
I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

On immigration
Quote:
America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.

The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.

The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

On Islam
Quote:
America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America.

Quote:
We've been warning about the rise of Islam on the show, to great amount of backlash. We don't care, that's what we do here. And we said that Islam is not compatible with western civilization.

Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.

On religion
Quote:
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.

Are they deserving of assassination? "Oh hell no!
You might have to explain what is so bad about those comments.
The comments about blacks could be troubling, but you have not provided context. If it is in the context of a show discussing DEI, then the comments are ok.
Certain portions of Islam are certainly incompatible with America. That's not to say there is no place for the religion in America, but American Muslims are very tame compared to what you find in the Middle East. You cannot transplant large groups of Muslims into America and expect it to go well. Americans will be raped and murdered.
And the comment on gun violence is a common thought. Yes, a few will have evil in their hearts, and use tools like guns to harm others. Does the evil of a few necessitate that the vast majority give up our rights?
