Showing Original Post only (View all)Candace Owens releases Charlie Kirk texts.."Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes" [View all]
Apparently these texts were sent less than 48 hours before his deathIn the text messages, Kirk complained that a Jewish donor had pulled a $2 million annual investment from Turning Point USA because he refused to disinvite Carlson from the upcoming AmericaFest event.
He said his Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes but remained adamant he would not be coerced by money into changing anything about his public persona and affiliations.
Just lost another huge Jewish donor, Kirk wrote. $2 million a year because we wont cancel Tucker. Im thinking of inviting Candace. Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.
The messages were in contrast to many of Kirks public comments in recent years. The 31-year-old was regarded as a leading supporter of Israel in the conservative movement, frequently travelling to the country for religious and political events.
He also met his wife Erika in Israel.
In August during an interview with Megyn Kelly, Kirk said he had a bulletproof resumé showing my defence of Israel I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel. I believe in fulfilment of prophecy.

Regardless of the cause why would an individual financially support someone who opposes it?
