The assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk has been compounded by waves of misinformation and slander. In this difficult time, Christians are reminded to hold fast to truth and pray for integrity in public discourse.

One widely shared lie falsely attributed to Kirk claimed he said, “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.” This fabricated statement spread online after former Washington Post editor Karen Attiah cited it. In reality, Kirk’s comments addressed four public figures — Sheila Jackson Lee, Joy Reid, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Michelle Obama — and were misrepresented as racially-based.
Another damaging rumor circulated by author Stephen King and others accused Kirk of advocating the stoning of gays. This was wholly false. King later admitted he had repeated something without fact-checking, retracting his words and apologizing. Similarly, journalist Alastair Campbell issued a correction after spreading the same untrue claim. Even leaders within the gay conservative movement, such as Jaimee Michelle of Gays Against Groomers, testified that Kirk welcomed them into his work.
Accusations of racism also arose when a viral post claimed Kirk repeatedly used a slur toward an Asian woman. In truth, the video showed him debating progressive commentator Cenk Uygur, which is pronounced “Chenk,” which sounds similar to a slur.
Likewise, The New York Times had to issue a correction after wrongly attributing anti-Semitic statements to Kirk, clarifying he was quoting and condemning a social media post rather than endorsing it.
False claims have also extended to the identity of Kirk’s alleged killer. While evidence and testimony confirm the suspect, Tyler Robinson, leaned toward radical leftist ideology, prominent voices have wrongly insisted he was a far-right extremist. California Rep. Dave Min and historian Heather Cox Richardson both spread unverified claims tying Robinson to the Republican Party, despite investigators, the suspect’s own mother, and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox pointing to his leftist leanings.
These repeated distortions reveal how truth can be twisted in times of division. Yet Scripture reminds us that “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

Expose every lie, make the crooked paths straight, shine your light on every error, that all may see them.
father God please snap out this evilness and all these lies father God. father God we knew who Charlie Kirk was we don’t need to prove anything to the evilness that is now lurking everywhere father God. you knew the truth about your son Charlie Kirk father God there’s so much evil in social media social media needs to be shut down completely father God and you have the power to do that and we have the power to do that as well is to shut down social media that is a cesspool for evilness. Father God please change all of this anyone that’s lying convict them to the knees father God it is all over the place. father God if we are confronted help us to speak boldly and courageously to let anyone know that we are not going to accept the evilness that is coming out of their mouth father God things need to change completely Our Father who art in him and hell will be thy name the kingdom come they will be done on Earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but delivers from evil for yours is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever. father God in your word Jesus has overcome the world and we need to keep our eyes above and not in this Cesspool called the world. I hate what you hate father God and that is the way things are being twisted and we know who’s behind it. we rebuke it and we cast it in the fire a hell where it belongs in Jesus name.
Thank You Lord God Almighty, Holy LORD, You tell us, “He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant [the privilege ] to eat [the fruit] from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God ( Rev. 2:7).” And You tell us, Abba Father, to, “Be faithful to the point of death [if you must die for your faith], and I will give you the crown [consisting] of life ( vs. 10b).” Thank You Father that Charlie Kirk will receive this crown of life because he died standing up for his faith…for family…and his country! And , “He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] will not be hurt by the second death ( the lake of fire) (vs. 11b).” The audacity of humankind to think that they could ever get rid of you LORD God! Did not, have not and will not!!! In Jesus’ Name, Everlasting God, help us give our burdens to You, LORD, and You will take care of us ( from Ps. 55:22). Great is Your Faithfulness to bless obedience! In Jesus’ Name Who is the Son of God, the Faithful & True! Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the life of Charlie Kirk. He was a man who would go into colleges where the students were and spur on conversation regarding beliefs, even those which stood against his own. He shared his faith that salvation comes through Christ alone. He took the threats and did not back down and hide. We would all do well to consider what price we will pay for taking the Gospel into this broken world. Where sin abounds, let grace abound more abundantly! Lord lead our speech in all conversations, bring forward truth and let the light of Christ be shared. In Jesus’ mighty name.
I would invite readers to go through what are known as the “Imprecatory” Psalms. We are living in an age where so many do not understand how to “rightly” divide the Word of God – the FULL counsel of God. Not to “cherry pick” what suits us. The Psalmist David penned many such Psalms look at Psalm 35 for example where he asks GOD to do such and such about his enemies. Vengeance is Mine says the Lord. THIS IS SCRIPTURAL. There are too many “liberal” Christians being taught a “liberal” theology. Time to get back to the Bible.
Asking God to put a hedge around him (David) and to intercede on his behave when he is slandered, acknowledging that God foils the plans of God’s enemies and such is not the same as calling down judgement for particular sins. David was all too aware of his own guilt. He knew the seriousness of the sins of adultery with a friend’s wife and his murder of that friend, a man who trusted him. He was also aware of how pride caused him to take a census which brought a judgment by God which caused many innocent people to die as a result.
Understanding this has nothing to do with being’ ‘liberal.’ It has to do with respecting that we were all guilty and deserving of death and of honoring Jesus’s death in our place.
Your article twists the truth as well. As a Charlie Kirk subscriber of his podcast and watching him on other podcasts discussing matches concerns people have other discussions on race and sexism. He was human and not infallible. Some views were flawed. This is why we need to continue to search out God wisdom and look past one’s race and sex.
Charlie did not discriminate against people’s race or sex. That is the type of propaganda that has led to so many divisive rants. We must reject the MSM’s false witness and allow the Holy Spirit to give us ultimate discernment. 🙏
Charlie Kirk spoke the truth in love and nothing and no one will ever convince me any different. where he was a servant of the most high God would convict him if he was doing something wrong it’s in the Bible.
Lord thank you that you said the truth shall set us free. Lord I pray for truth to only be told about what Charlie Kirk stood for. May we as believers not fail to stand firm in our faith and support our brother in Christ who stood boldly for you. Lord I pray for many who did not really know who Charlie Kirk was or did and they would delve into the details about how he loved You. I pray for eyes to be open and drawn to the truth in Jesus’ name. And I pray against the schemes of the devil who seeks to create confusion. I bind confusion in the Jesus’ name by His shed blood on the cross for our sins. Amen.
Yes, Diane – may curiosity spur some to check out actual debates, in order to “see for themselves” – but, Lord, please guide them to reputable sources that don’t alter or delete content.
I am praying against the devil in the mighty name of Jesus Christ 🙏 I stand totally against anti-Semitism!! I am praying for President Trump and his cabinet, so God will give him the right direction to walk in. I stand and pray for America. I stand and pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem.I pray that America will turn back to the Lord.🙏✝️🙌
Thank you for making this clear. It’s so evil that this man of God was murdered in cold blood AND defamed afterwards with lies.
it is so tragic that we as a people seem to have forgotten what this country is all about. as a Christian and believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and King I feel we must pray for believers to speak up and in love and pray for those who want to stir up dissent
Dear friends, we also need to be careful to not misrepresent those with whom we disagree. Take an article posted about the Gates Foundation posted on this site a few weeks back which claimed that it supported the embalming of the organs of infants. Out of the 11,000 people who opened that posting, I was the only one who followed through and checked the information out and found it was incorrect. and when I said so and proved it, no one appreciated my doing so. We are better than this. You cannot assume that just because a posting appears to support your views (or what you want to be true) that the authors are being honest.
It is possible to disagree with an organization on some of their positions and still not misrepresent them and to appreciate the good things they are doing in the world. That is the position that Charlie Kirk would have taken.
Always be careful about the sources you trust for verification, as many are funded by evil billionaires. Trustworthy websites have reported many disturbing things about Gates, many coming right from his lips. He needs spiritual deliverance!
Dear Truth4Him, I am always careful…with both claims made by the right and left because right wing claims are about as reliable as left. The site itself provided a link which they said proved their claim but when you followed the link, you found the opposite. The link actually disproved their claim.
I don’t think we would agree on your so called ‘trustworthy’ websites, by the way. I have noticed many of your comments to be easily disproved.
Psalm 31:18 May lying lips be struck dumb, that speak insolently against the righteous with such pride and contempt.
Psalm 119:163 I hate falsehood, I detest it; but I love your Torah.
Psalm 120:2 Rescue me, YHVH, from lips that tell lies, from a tongue full of deceit.
Psalm 120:6-7 I have had to live far too long with those who hate peace. I am all for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things Adonai hates, seven which he detests:
a haughty look,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet swift in running to do evil,
a false witness who lies with every breath,
and him who sows strife among brothers.
Proverbs 12:17-22 He who tells the truth furthers justice, but a false witness furthers deceit.
Idle talk can pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise can heal.
Truthful words will stand forever, lying speech but a moment.
Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but for those advising peace there is joy.
No harm can come to the righteous, but the wicked are overwhelmed with disaster.
Lying lips are an abomination to Adonai, but those who deal faithfully are his delight.
pray for all of us who are angry about this senseless killing of Charlie Kirk. angry at all the lies spewed from the mouths of the Democrats, n the media. I am happy Charlie is w the Lord, he left an impact on the global world that woke up every young mind that Loved him. his voice will never be heard again. rise up young people! n older people and speak your truth let it be heard! your freedom of speech must remain in tact. don’t allow anyone to take that away.
give us the strength to forgive this person. his life was taken away from him also because he believed what he heard, what he interpreted as negative from outside sources, the media, left wing politicians. this spreading of trash must end. the truth must always be told. not opinions.
im saddened even though I never met Charlie. his babies, his wife will never feel his love, they will never hear his heartbeat again. God bless the Kirk Family
We must share the truth. I grew up in an era where all reported stories had to be fact checked carefully. Both the right and left need to look in the mirror. and change their ways. No one should be assassinated debating in an open forum on a college campus. The lie here is that it is okay to murder to defend your ideology.
