Jonah Goldberg Attacks Charlie Kirk: ‘I Think It’s a Mistake to Have Charlie Kirk Speak Anywhere at Any Time’

Goldberg: “But you would have had to surprises over two nights if he had, like, day one, ‘I‘m alive. They can‘t kill me.’ Day two, J.D. Vance.”
COOPER: “Do you think it was a mistake to have Charlie Kirk speak, to Jake’s point?”
Goldberg: “I think it‘s a mistake to have Charlie Kirk speak anywhere at any time.”
Jones: “Whoa.”
Goldberg: “I think talking to Charlie Kirk and listening to him is the one of the fastest ways to burn off IQ points. I think Charlie Kirk is a grifter and a fraud. The anti-Semitism stuff is a fair accusation against him, but the bigger problem with Charlie Kirk is he’s profoundly dumb. And when you don‘t know anything about how the world works, you think everything is a conspiracy theory. anti-Semitism is the oldest conspiracy theory out there. It‘s why they used to call it the socialism of fools. But he‘s also the guy who co-founded the Falkirk Center for Jesus stuff at Liberty University with a guy who had some interesting relations with his pool boy. He is — he‘s gotten very, very rich off of a lot of gullible parents who want their kids to be like what they think Charlie Kirk is like. And he‘s been incredibly damaging to the conservative movement and the Republican Party.”
