"To my friends on the political Right: I understand the feeling that people are putting words into Charlie Kirk's mouth. At some level, I agree and share your frustration, Vance posted. Try to remember: a lot of people loved Charlie. It is natural for them to debate his views and his legacy. In fact, I think Charlie would welcome that. But for now, let's celebrate our friend, remember his impact, and save the debate for after his funeral."
"Notably, Tucker Carlson claimed the Turning Point USA founder did not like Benjamin Netanyahu and was appalled by what was happening in Gaza. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped that claim, saying he knew Kirk to be a staunch supporter of Israel and Jews. I knew Charlie well & indeed the very last conversation we had was how deeply concerned he was about the rising, toxic wave of antisemitism on the right, Cruz said earlier on Wednesday."
Vice President JD Vance urged Republicans to pause debates about what Charlie Kirk would have said or believed until after Kirk's funeral and to remember his impact. Vance acknowledged frustration that people are putting words into Kirk's mouth and noted that many loved Kirk and will naturally debate his views and legacy. The request came amid disputes among right-wing commentators over Kirk's stance on Israel. Tucker Carlson claimed Kirk disliked Benjamin Netanyahu and was appalled by events in Gaza, while Sen. Ted Cruz said Kirk was a staunch supporter of Israel and warned about antisemitism on the right.
