Did Charlie Kirk says racist things about coco Goff and Simone biles
Was this fact-check helpful?
1. Summary of the results
The analyses provided do not offer conclusive evidence that Charlie Kirk made racist comments about Coco Gauff and Simone Biles [1] [2] [3]. However, some sources suggest that Charlie Kirk has made negative comments about Simone Biles, calling her 'selfish', 'immature', and 'a shame to the country' [1], as well as a 'selfish sociopath' and 'weak' [3]. Additionally, Charlie Kirk made comments about Simone Biles in June 2025, calling her a 'choke artist' and 'a basket case' [3]. There is no direct evidence of Charlie Kirk making racist comments about Coco Gauff in the provided analyses [4]. Nevertheless, some sources report that Charlie Kirk has made racist comments in the past, including a statement about Black pilots [5], which may indicate a pattern of behavior.
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
A key piece of missing context is the lack of direct quotes from Charlie Kirk regarding Coco Gauff, which makes it difficult to assess the validity of the claim [2]. Furthermore, the analyses do not provide sufficient information about the context in which Charlie Kirk made his comments about Simone Biles, which could be crucial in understanding his intentions [3]. Alternative viewpoints, such as the defense of Charlie Kirk by some sources, which argue that he is not a racist and has helped young Black people, are also important to consider [6]. Moreover, the fact that some sources focus on the NFL's decision to hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk, with some criticizing the move due to Kirk's history of divisive rhetoric, including undertones of racism, adds another layer of complexity to the issue [7].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may be misleading as it implies that Charlie Kirk made racist comments about both Coco Gauff and Simone Biles, which is not supported by the analyses [1] [2] [3]. The statement may also be biased as it does not provide a balanced view of the issue, failing to mention the lack of evidence regarding Coco Gauff and the context of Charlie Kirk's comments about Simone Biles [4] [3]. The sources that defend Charlie Kirk, such as the one that mentions his help to young Black people, may benefit from this framing, as it portrays Kirk in a more positive light [6]. On the other hand, sources that criticize Charlie Kirk, such as the one that reports his racist comments about Black pilots, may be marginalized by this framing, which could undermine their credibility [5].
