Hard to say, but he did have some pretty radical principles as far as the left is concerned. There's plenty of tape on him out there.
Do you have any examples of his radical principles? Serious, not trolling. I don't know much about him.
• Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
• Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
• No one should be allowed to retire
• Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
• British Colonialism was what "made the world decent"
• The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out
• Religious freedom should be terminated
• Multiple black politicians "stole white people’s spots"
• MLK Jr was "an awful person"
• If my 10 year old daughter was raped and got pregnant, I’d force her to carry her pregnancy to term.
• The Great Replacement Theory is reality
• Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
• Vaccine requirements are "medical apartheid"
• Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
• Women’s natural place is under their husband’s control
• Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
• George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn’t
• The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake"
• Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
• Mamdani winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
• Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
• Palestine "doesn’t exist" and those who support it are like the KKK

Per AI, here is context to your statements.
1. Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane,
In a 2023 discussion following a plane-helicopter collision, Kirk said: "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'" This aligns with the sentiment, implying doubt about Black pilots' competence due to diversity initiatives.
2. Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
On August 26, 2025, during The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk reacted to Swift's engagement by saying: "Engage in reality more. Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor."
3. No one should be allowed to retire
Kirk stated: "I'm not a fan of retirement. I don't think retirement is biblical," and advocated raising the retirement age for those under 45, calling retirement a "waste" of God's gifts.
3. Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
No direct evidence found. Kirk criticized leftists influencing red states but did not explicitly call for barring their movement.
4. British Colonialism was what "made the world decent"
On his show, Kirk interviewed Bruce Gilley and stated: "British colonialism actually made the world decent," calling it "the most benign global empire ever."
5. The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out
Following the 2022 attack on Paul Pelosi, Kirk tweeted: "Shouldn't Paul Pelosi's attacker be released on cashless bail?" and suggested a "patriot" should bail him out to "ask him some questions."
6. Religious freedom should be terminated
No, Kirk was a strong advocate for religious freedom, particularly Christian nationalism. He criticized restrictions on churches during COVID as "persecution" but never called for terminating it.
7. Multiple black politicians "stole white people’s spots"
In 2023, Kirk said of Black women like Joy Reid and Michelle Obama: "You had to go steal a white person’s slot to... be taken somewhat seriously," attributing their success to affirmative action.
8. MLK Jr was "an awful person"
At Turning Point USA's America Fest in 2023, Kirk said: "MLK was awful. He's not a good person."
9. If my 10 year old daughter was raped and got pregnant, I’d force her to carry her pregnancy to term
In a debate, when asked about a 10-year-old daughter being raped and pregnant, Kirk replied: "The answer is yes, the baby would be delivered."
10. The Great Replacement Theory is reality
Kirk repeatedly stated: "The 'Great Replacement' is not a theory, it's a reality," citing border crossings as evidence of deliberate demographic change.
11. Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
Kirk tweeted that hydroxychloroquine was "100% effective in treating the virus," leading to a temporary Twitter ban. This was
12. Vaccine requirements are "medical apartheid"
On Tucker Carlson Tonight in 2021, Kirk said: "We are going to give everything we have to make sure that students are not going to have to live in a medical apartheid because they don't want to get the vaccine."
13. Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
At a 2023 TPUSA event, Kirk said: "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."
14. Women’s natural place is under their husband’s control
At the 2022 TPUSA Young Women's Leadership Summit, Kirk described the "biblical model" for women as pursuing a husband who is "a protector and a leader," implying subordination.
15. Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
At the 2022 summit, Kirk claimed birth control makes women "angry and bitter," linking it to Democratic leanings and implying parents should discourage it to promote traditional roles.
16. George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn’t
Kirk called Floyd a "scumbag" and denied police responsibility, saying his death was due to an "overdose." He organized buses for Jan. 6 participants and defended them as "patriots," contrasting with his view of Floyd.
17. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake"
At America Fest 2023, Kirk said: "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s," calling it an "anti-white weapon."
18. Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
Kirk called for parents to "stand up and push back against mask-wearing" at school board meetings and decried mandates as a "Democratic plot against Christianity."
19. Mamdani winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
After Zohran Mamdani's 2025 NYC mayoral primary win, Kirk tweeted: "24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11. Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City," implying a travesty.
20. Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
Kirk stated: "It’s not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization," and claimed Islam has "conquest values" incompatible with the West.
21. Palestine "doesn’t exist" and those who support it are like the KKK
Kirk questioned Palestine's existence in debates, e.g., justifying Israel's actions by saying: "When you declare war on Israel, expect a firestorm." The KKK comparison was made by Jerry Seinfeld on Kirk's show, not Kirk himself; misattribution common online.
I do not agree with Charlie on every issue, but I do not want him killed because his view differs from mine.
In your opinion, was his killing justified?
Some of those things are unquestionably true
