Unbelievable words come out of Charlie Kirk's mouth; Homophobia and racism

blatant! He is talking about the FAA outage and 85,000 cancelled flights.

"But Kirk speculated that the sexual orientation of Transporation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was "more likely" to blame.

"What is more likely is who's in charge?" he said. "Well, the person who's in charge of the Department of Transportation was picked solely because of his sexual preference."


"So, when you hire personnel based on lifestyle or melanin content, you should not be shocked; no one should be surprised when things start to fall apart," Kirk opined.

The broadcaster offered advice that he said was primarily aimed at white conservatives.

"The amount of white guilt, the discomfort that conservatives have — sometimes Christians — about this issue gives you Pete Buttigieg!" he insisted

"[The author] believes that white people have some sort of institutional privilege, and it is a lie!"
the host exclaimed. "It's a racist, bigoted lie. And because he lives in Portland, he is surrounded by so many white people that are afraid to speak truth about race, that, hey, it's actually not about skin color, maybe it's about fatherlessness or some very serious issues with Black culture."

"Can't say that!" he added. "No, you just have got to blame the white guy."

4. Yep, it has nothing to do with lack of funding or decrepit infrastructure.

Charlie Kirk is Founder and President of Turning Point USA which is an extreme right-wing organization that has a presence in almost every college and university in America. Their intent is to "indoctrinate" young people, who by nature are usually very idealistic, to a set of values that are extreme right-wing. What present day people these days call "conservative".

To me it is like the bible stories or parables that Christians use to indoctrinate kids into religion at a very young age knowing that once indoctrinated it will stay with them the rest of their life.

He is a disgusting person and the personification of everything wrong with "conservatism".

for the FAA outage yesterday then he somehow segues into it being the fault of Black culture and fatherlessness.

He should blame his own father for teaching him that crap. What a confused, racist asshole.
