Has Charlie Kirk made similar comments about other celebrities in 2024?

1. The baseline: what the supplied reporting documents from 2024

The material available notes a January 2024 episode in which Kirk linked DEI programs to airline safety and said, “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified,’” a remark summarized on his Wikipedia entry that draws on NBC News reporting ^[1]. The sources also record a September 8, 2024 debate clip — later cited in 2025 retrospectives — in which Kirk answered a question about supporting abortion for a hypothetical 10‑year‑old rape victim; that exchange is repeatedly referenced in later profiles ^[2]. Those are the explicit 2024 comments the provided set highlights ^{[1] [2]}.

2. What the sources do not show: direct, documented attacks on celebrities in 2024

None of the supplied articles or snippets catalogue a string of 2024 broadcasts or posts in which Kirk made similar public disparaging comments targeted specifically at named celebrities. Coverage in these results centers on his broader rhetoric, a Jan. 2024 aviation/DEI remark and a Sept. 2024 debate answer, and later fallout and reactions in 2025 — not on a pattern of celebrity‑targeted comments during 2024 ^{[1] [2]}.

3. How later 2025 reporting frames his past remarks (context and amplification)

Reporting from 2025 that summarizes Kirk’s career and quotes often cites prior controversial lines to explain why reactions to his death were polarized; The Guardian and other retrospectives list a variety of incendiary remarks from across multiple years, including the September 2024 debate clip and earlier statements ^[2]. Those 2025 pieces use earlier incidents as context, but they do not necessarily add new 2024 celebrity‑targeted examples beyond what’s already summarized ^[2].

4. Celebrity reactions and the post‑2024 narrative

The supplied coverage of celebrity responses pertains to the aftermath of Kirk’s September 2025 shooting and death, showing a range of condolence posts and debates about his legacy ^{[3] [4]}. These articles emphasize that many public figures reacted in 2025; they do not, in the provided excerpts, document Kirk making new celebrity‑directed attacks in 2024 ^{[3] [4]}.

5. Two possible reasons for the gap in the supplied reporting

First, journalists compiling retrospectives often cherry‑pick the most widely reported controversies — the DEI/pilot remark and the Surrounded debate answer appear often — which can give the impression of a comprehensive catalogue even when coverage is selective ^{[1] [2]}. Second, contemporaneous coverage of any celebrity‑specific exchanges in 2024 may exist but is not included in the set of sources you supplied; the absence of such items here does not mean they never occurred, only that they’re “not found in current reporting” provided ^[1].

6. What would strengthen a definitive answer

To confirm whether Kirk made similar comments about celebrities in 2024, consult contemporaneous 2024 archives: his show transcripts, social‑media posts from 2024, and beat reporting from that year (not included in the supplied snippets). The current set documents specific controversial 2024 lines about DEI and a debate exchange but does not provide a list of celebrity‑targeted remarks ^{[1] [2]}.

Limitations: This analysis strictly uses the supplied results; claims beyond those sources are not asserted. If you’d like, I can search for contemporaneous 2024 coverage or provide a timeline of Kirk’s public statements as reported in broader archives.
