MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk calls MLK 'awful' and deems Civil Rights Act a 'huge mistake'
He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe," Kirk said of the civil rights activist he referred to in 2015 as a "hero" and whom he called a "civil rights icon" as recently as 2022.
“I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it,” Kirk continued. “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”
The TPUSA founder argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — which effectively ended segregation in the United States and that MLK played a major role in passing — established a "permanent DEI-type bureaucracy" (diversity, equity and inclusion)
