College Student Unloads on Charlie Kirk: ‘People Will See You and the People You Supported as Corrupt’
A Cambridge University student unloaded on Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a debate this week, accusing him and his allies of being “corrupt” and “selling the country out to the lowest bidder.”
“Good evening, Mr. Kirk. You’ve obviously devoted a lot of your life to electing, keeping in power Donald Trump, and you did so partly because you said Trump would put Americans first and take them out of foreign conflicts,” opened the student during the debate. “Should we see how that is going at the moment?”
He continued:
Currently, Trump has just accepted a $400 million debt from Qatar, which we’re assured is perfectly above board. Billions in arms are going to Saudi Arabia, which they’re using to bomb and starve Yemeni children. Not sure how that’s in the interest of the United States, but it might be in the interest of the $5.5 billion deal his failsons are receiving.
At the same time, this great president of peace has green-lit mass killings not just in Yemen, but in Gaza, where he green lit an invasion called Operation Gideon’s Chariot with the express aim of wiping out the Gazan population. You promised to put America first, haven’t you and your ilk sold America out?
Kirk replied that Trump was currently negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, was “actually talking to Iran and discouraging Israel to strike the interior of Iran,” and was responsible for “ending the India-Pakistan war,” sparking an argument about whether Trump was actually responsible for those things and his current success with the Ukraine-Russia peace deal.
“You are living in a fantasy world of your own creation so it’s quite hard to engage with, but let’s check on how Trump is doing with diplomacy,” the student said minutes later. “Look, with the war in the Middle East, do you think it was a defensible position to tell the Israelis you wanted Trump Gaza, to agree for Israel to invade the Gaza Strip, and to continue to murder thousands of innocent children and civilians in a pointless war. Is that in America’s interest? In that in humanity’s interest?”
Kirk questioned, “Let me ask you, in the conflict of Israel versus Hamas, who’s the good guy?”
“I believe both Hamas and the Israeli government are evil,” the student replied. “But I think also, there is no justification for the murder and mutilation of thousands of innocent people and children. There is no justification, Mr. Kirk, for invading hospitals, for bombing innocent populations, and dragging out a war which is damaging Israel and the West’s security.”
After Kirk remarked, “You’ve made that point,” the student shot back, “It’s not a point, it’s a moral truth, isn’t it?”
Kirk then shouted, “It was also a moral truth that the war started because 1,300 Jews were killed and 200 were taken hostage. When you declare war on Israel, expect a firestorm in reaction!”
Concluding the debate, the student told Kirk,
I believe when everything is done, Mr. Kirk, people will see you and the people you supported as corrupt, as selling the country out to the lowest bidder, and of doing irreparable damage to a country I’m sure we all deep down love. I think you’ll have to reckon with that one, Mr. Kirk.
The student then walked out of the debate as he received applause and cheers.
“The difference is when we get our way, we’ll still have a country, and your country will be a third-world hellhole,” Kirk concluded.
