What Charlie Kirk said about Iran, Israel, Islam and Jeffrey Epstein

Charlie Kirk, an ally of US President Donald Trump and a well-known conservative activist, was shot dead at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

Kirk, 31, became famous as one of the leading voices in an increasingly powerful cast of populist conservative podcasters and social media personalities. His events at universities, challenging students to debate him on politics and culture, drew thousands of attendees.

Kirk spoke widely on the Middle East, including on Islam, Israel’s war on Gaza, Jeffrey Epstein and the recent Iran conflict.

The populist conservative movement has split over Israel’s genocide in Gaza, with some of Kirk’s colleagues and friends, like Tucker Carlson, taking a more vocal position against Israeli atrocities. 

Kirk proudly espoused that he was an Evangelical Christian Zionist and generally backed Israel's onslaught.
