Commenting on Charlie Kirk's influence being likened to that of his father, Martin Luther King III said:"When you’re doing that, it’s a disservice to unification. And it doesn’t mean you have to accept everything and agree with everything my dad said... He certainly was a force in this society and a significant force, but I just disagree with the position that his force was about inclusiveness."He continued:"When you denigrate Black women and say that somebody is in a position just because of the color of their skin, that’s gravely false. Every person that he talked about was beyond and eminently qualified.”What did Charlie Kirk say about Martin Luther King Jr? Details explored amid the late political activist's comparison to the civil rights activistAccording to WIRED's report dated January 2024, Charlie Kirk allegedly made a negative comment about Martin Luther King Jr. in December 2023 while speaking at the American Fest. The political activist said:"MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe."At the time, Kirk reportedly said that he had a "very, very radical view" on the Civil Rights Act, which was passed in the 1960s. Dubbing the act a "huge mistake", Charlie Kirk allegedly emphasized that the bill "created a beast” focused on equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity, leading to "more crime.”In his argument, Kirk was referring to the federal law banning discrimination in public places, which led to making employment discrimination illegal. Shortly after WIRED's article was published, Kirk purportedly read out an email from the publication on his The Charlie Kirk Show, where he admitted to describing Martin Luther King Jr. as a "bad guy."In other news, Kirk's attacker, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested on September 12, 2025, and charged with aggravated murder.
