‘Maybe the media’s lying to you’: Charlie Kirk leaves

Charlie Kirk has done it again.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been relentless in his mission to open the minds of young Americans and has taken his well-thought-out arguments to university campuses across the nation.

His movement has grown massively along with Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s momentum, and it’s no longer so rare to see hopeful signs of patriotism among America’s up-and-coming.

During campus visits, Kirk often engages with students in calm debate. It doesn’t end well for his opponents, and the latest clip sweeping X is no different.

A young woman confronted Kirk to explain that she doesn’t support Trump because … shocker … he’s “racist.”

When Kirk asks for examples of Trump’s so-called racism, she can’t come up with any.

Surprised? Neither was Kirk.

After proclaiming Trump to be ‘racist’, Kirk asks her to define what it means to be racist. After some uncomfortable giggling and stalling she was able to say that racism “is hatred towards another race.”

That’s when Kirk got her with the zinger.

“When has [Trump] ever exhibited that? … Give me clear and specific examples,” Kirk said.

Gulp.

“I heard someone say…” the young woman trailed off as she looked around.

Then Kirk delivered the hard truth.

“You think he’s a racist because the media has told you he’s a racist.” Kirk said.

“Maybe the media’s lying to you,” he continued. “Maybe the man who’s being called a racist is actually someone who’s trying to improve the lives of all Americans.”

All while Kirk had been speaking, the young woman appeared to be listening – possibly even thinking – but was left with nothing to say.

Until she finally told the crowd. “I think this is fun guys, so…”

So??

Did the young lady learn anything? One would hope so.

X users certainly had plenty to say:

They’re so vapid. There’s no depth, no critical thought. Only desperation to be accepted. Kirk is a master at actually making them think and showing them without insult how they may be wrong.

Good for @charliekirk11 for not dismissing her and making her think through the auto-statement. You can see the gears whirling, but pride and indoctrination gets in the way. This is the way.

Amen.

We have raised generations of people who are incapable of critical thinking.
That’s what government education & higher education have done.
When I went to college in the 70s it was hard, & professors didn’t spew their ideology.
Today there’s far to much indoctrination.
Shameful.

Charlie looks legitimately concerned for the future the more of these he does. He’s really throwing her a lot of help, and she refuses. It’s hard to see again and again.

You just can’t make this up.. they literally catch themselves and cannot rebuttal.. you can see the realization in their face when they have been had…
