“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” – Psalm 116:15
I asked Claude AI what Charlie Kirk actually said or did that led the left to vilify him and even call him Hitler.
The AI’s response was telling: it listed his opposition to gun control, abortion, and LGBTQ activism; his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr.; his defense of Christian values; his challenges to the COVID-19 narrative; his claims about election fraud; and his supposed promotion of “Christian nationalism” and the “Great Replacement theory.”
Let’s look at these one by one. The Second Amendment is already part of the Constitution, and Americans are well within their rights to defend it.
At a 2023 Turning Point USA event in Salt Lake City, Kirk said: “I think it’s worth 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.”
Tens of thousands of people are killed in car accidents each year, yet we don’t ban cars.
FBI crime statistics also show that much of America’s gun violence comes from a particular demographic which has the highest rate of fatherless households.
Kirk tied this reality back to his consistent support for Christian values and the traditional family.
On abortion, his position was clear: existing laws already prohibit the murder of human beings, and unborn babies should not be excluded from that protection.
On LGBTQ issues, Kirk did not argue that people should lose rights. Rather, he insisted rights be applied equally across society, not elevated for select groups.
He defended women’s rights by pointing out that men cannot become women and cannot give birth. God made only men and women.
Kirk’s criticism of the Civil Rights Act was not opposition to equality, but to the affirmative action policies that followed—policies which, in practice, violate Martin Luther King Jr.’s credo that people should be judged “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
DEI and other forms of affirmative action require the inclusion of race, sexual orientation, and other demographic information in decisions about hiring, promotion, and admissions. That approach is a direct violation of the Constitution, which states that all men are created equal.
As for “Christian nationalism,” Kirk never promoted it. He was a Christian and a patriot, and the term itself has been twisted into a slur meant to vilify anyone who loves their country and defends Christian values.
On the so-called “Great Replacement theory,” Kirk pointed out simple facts: there are at least 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S., and under Biden, that number surged. Nearly half of all new jobs were going to immigrants, leaving American citizens displaced.
Regarding COVID-19, Kirk did not spread misinformation. He challenged a narrative that suppressed data and alternative treatments. Hydroxychloroquine, for example, was widely used around the world but ridiculed in the U.S. as a “conspiracy theory.”
On election integrity, Kirk did not spread falsehoods. He questioned the absurd claim that the 2020 election was “the most secure in history,” despite the unprecedented level of mail-in voting, the dangers of ballot harvesting, and the refusal to require voter ID.
Apparently, they believe Kirk was “Hitler” simply because he asked questions, cited data, and challenged beliefs they refused to examine.
Charlie Kirk was also a fierce advocate of free speech on campus.
He expanded Turning Point USA’s influence through initiatives like the Professor Watchlist and the School Board Watchlist, which held accountable those who tried to indoctrinate students.
Critics compared this to McCarthyism, ironically forgetting that McCarthy’s central claim was that Hollywood was infested with leftists, a claim which has proven true.
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:10, KJV)
Charlie Kirk was killed for being an outspoken Christian and for standing for truth—truth that challenged the beliefs of the left. Truth comes from God.
The moral framework of our society comes from Christianity. Even those who claim not to believe are still shaped by a culture built on Christian values.
President Trump stated: “For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals.”
Kirk’s ability to mobilize young conservatives and challenge campus orthodoxy made him a prime target, and ultimately, that vilification is what marked him for death.
Charlie called out evil plainly. Killing babies is a heinous act. God created only men and women, and no man can become a woman or give birth. And the reason one demographic is arrested and incarcerated more often is because they commit crimes at a higher rate.
At the same time, our culture is collapsing. About 34–38% of young adults now identify as religiously unaffiliated. LGBTQ identification among Generation Z has exploded to more than 22% in 2024, nearly triple what it was in 2012.
Alongside that shift, mental health outcomes have plummeted. Nearly a quarter of American adults received treatment in 2023, with young adults showing the highest rates of serious mental illness at 11.6%.
Nearly one in three adolescents got treatment that year, and one in seven were on psychiatric medication.
Family life is breaking down as well. Marriage rates have collapsed, only about 20% of women and 23% of men are married by age 25 today, and projections suggest a third of young adults will never marry at all.
Meanwhile, education is failing to deliver stability. More than half of new college graduates are underemployed within a year, nearly half remain underemployed a decade later, and unemployment rates for young male graduates now match those who never went to college.
This convergence, declining faith, rising alternative identities, worsening mental health, collapsing marriage, and a failed education-to-work pipeline, represents a fundamental breakdown of America’s social fabric.
Charlie Kirk is gone, but the truth he spoke remains true.
