Fact check: Did Charlie Kirk call the WNBA prowling blacks

Checked on September 17, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The claim that Charlie Kirk called the WNBA "prowling blacks" is not supported by any of the analyses provided [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. In fact, none of the sources mention Charlie Kirk making such a statement [1] [2] [3]. The analyses primarily focus on the reaction to Charlie Kirk's death, including comments from WNBA player Natasha Cloud [1], the backlash against her for her comments on the assassination of Charlie Kirk [2], and other related news [3] [2] [8]. Some sources discuss Charlie Kirk's views on diversity and inclusion, as well as his connection to white supremacist ideologies [5] [6], but none of these sources mention the specific claim in question. Key points to note include the lack of evidence supporting the claim and the focus of the analyses on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

  • The analyses provided do not offer a clear understanding of Charlie Kirk's views on the WNBA or any statements he may have made about the league [4] [5] [6].
  • Alternative viewpoints, such as those from Charlie Kirk himself or official statements from the WNBA, are not presented in the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].
  • Context about Charlie Kirk's public statements and views is crucial for assessing the validity of the claim, but this information is not provided in the analyses [5] [6].
  • The sources primarily discuss reactions to Charlie Kirk's death and related controversies, without delving into his specific statements about the WNBA [1] [2] [8].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be an example of misinformation as it claims Charlie Kirk called the WNBA "prowling blacks" without any evidence to support this claim [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. This lack of evidence suggests that the statement may be biased or intended to mislead readers about Charlie Kirk's views [5] [6]. The sources provided do not mention Charlie Kirk making such a statement, which further supports the idea that the original statement may be misinforming the public [1] [2] [3]. Those who benefit from this framing may include individuals or groups seeking to discredit Charlie Kirk or promote a specific narrative about his views, without providing factual evidence to support their claims [5] [6].
