Did Charlie Kirk start asking the wrong qu

Charlie Kirk, the right-wing activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA,

was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University, sparking global speculation about whether he had begun “asking the wrong questions.”

Kirk was known for his strong conservative stance, opposing liberal policies on gun control,

climate change, civil rights, and 2SLGBTQ+ issues.

He also hosted a popular radio show and podcast, amplifying his influence on young voters.

A vocal supporter of Israel, Kirk was praised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “lion-hearted friend of Israel” after his assassination.

Yet, his recent comments raised eyebrows. In July, he defended Israel’s actions in Gaza, dismissing claims of deliberate starvation.

In another video, however, Kirk questioned the Israeli military’s response to the October 7 Hamas attacks.

“Six hours, I don’t believe it,” he said, suggesting a possible “stand down order.”

He stressed it was a “legitimate non-conspiracy question,” but the remarks stirred controversy.

On August 7, Kirk told Megyn Kelly he was labeled anti-Semitic after moderating a

fiery debate at the Student Action Summit with comedian Dave Smith and commentator Josh Hammer. The discussion centered on U.S. foreign policy, neoconservatism, and the U.S.–Israel alliance.

Smith argued for a non-interventionist foreign policy, invoking Ron Paul’s vision, while Hammer defended America’s traditional support for Israel. The debate, later called “The Debate Heard Around the World,” highlighted deep rifts within the conservative movement.
