Fact check: What homophonic thongs did charlie kirk say?

Checked on September 15, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about homophonic thongs said by Charlie Kirk. However, upon reviewing the analyses from various sources, it becomes clear that none of the sources mention Charlie Kirk saying any "homophonic thongs" [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. The sources do report on Charlie Kirk's controversial views, including homophobic comments where he compared being gay to an "error" and addiction [2], as well as his anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric [6]. It's also worth noting that some sources discuss unrelated incidents of homophobia, such as Roland Martin's tweets during the Super Bowl [3], but these are not directly related to Charlie Kirk or his statements.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point missing from the original statement is the context of Charlie Kirk's comments and the implications of his statements on the LGBTQ+ community [6]. Additionally, the sources provided do not offer alternative viewpoints on Charlie Kirk's statements, instead focusing on reporting his comments and their impact [2] [6]. It's also important to consider the lack of information on "homophonic thongs" in all the sources, which suggests that this term may not be relevant to Charlie Kirk's statements or may be a misunderstanding [7] [8] [9]. Furthermore, the sources do not provide a balanced view of Charlie Kirk's overall stance on LGBTQ+ issues, instead highlighting his controversial comments [2] [6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation due to the lack of clarity around the term "homophonic thongs" [7]. This term is not mentioned in any of the sources, which could indicate a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of Charlie Kirk's statements [1] [2] [3]. The statement may also be biased towards highlighting Charlie Kirk's controversial views, without providing a balanced view of his overall stance on LGBTQ+ issues [6]. The sources that report on Charlie Kirk's homophobic comments and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric may benefit from criticizing his views, while sources that do not mention these comments may benefit from avoiding controversy [2] [6]. Overall, it's essential to approach the original statement with a critical eye, considering the potential for misinformation and bias [7] [8] [9].
