What were Charlie Kirk's exact words about Brianna Ghey's death?

1. What the provided sources actually contain

The items in your search set include: a New York Times piece focused on the aftermath and reactions to Charlie Kirk’s shooting (which references clips of Kirk and online reactions but does not quote him about Brianna Ghey) ^[3]; a Kansas City Star story about a university employee’s social-posted comment following Kirk’s shooting that referenced Kirk and past remarks about the Second Amendment ^[4]; a social post thread asserting hypocrisy about who jokes about deaths like Kirk’s versus Brianna Ghey’s ^[1]; and a Guardian compilation of Kirk’s incendiary public remarks over time ^[2]. None of these sources show Kirk himself commenting on Brianna Ghey’s death (p1_s1–p1_s4).

2. Claims connecting reactions to both deaths — what’s documented

A public post collected on Threads argues that people who demand restraint around jokes about Charlie Kirk’s death were the same people who joked about Brianna Ghey’s death ^[1]. That post documents an accusation about online double standards but is a social-media assertion, not a transcript or a verified quote from Kirk himself ^[1].

3. Reporting about Kirk’s public rhetoric, not about Ghey specifically

Major outlets in the set have cataloged Charlie Kirk’s history of provocative rhetoric — including racist, sexist, and inflammatory lines compiled by The Guardian and described in the New York Times piece — but those pieces do so as broader context around his public persona and the reactions after his shooting, not as commentary by him about Brianna Ghey ^{[2] [3]}. The Guardian piece compiles examples of Kirk’s past remarks; it does not present him speaking about Ghey ^[2].

4. Example of post‑shooting social-media commentary included here

The Kansas City Star article documents a university employee’s social post about Kirk after he was shot, which included a harsh expression (that Kirk was “better in the ground as worm food”) and referenced his earlier comments about guns and children; this is civic reaction from another person, not a quote from Kirk ^[4].

5. Where the gap lies — no source shows Kirk’s words on Ghey

If your core question is “what did Charlie Kirk say about Brianna Ghey’s death,” available sources in this batch do not include any statement by Kirk about that event. The reporting instead shows others referencing, reacting to, or juxtaposing jokes and comments about two separate deaths: Kirk’s own killing and the murder of Brianna Ghey ^{[1] [3] [2]}. Therefore a direct quote from Kirk on that topic is not found in the current reporting (p1_s1–p1_s4).

6. How to proceed if you want the exact wording

To find “exact words” attributed to Charlie Kirk about Brianna Ghey, you will need a source that directly quotes him — for example: a video, transcript, verified social-media post, or a reporting piece that contains his statement. The set you provided does not include such an item; seek primary-source video/transcript or a news article that explicitly reproduces his remarks (not found in current reporting) (p1_s1–p1_s4).

7. Context and caution about online claims

Social posts and comment threads can assert equivalencies or hypocrisies (as the Threads post does), but they are not the same as verified attributions of speech to a public figure ^[1]. Journalistic practice requires a primary source or corroborated reporting before ascribing “exact words” to someone; the materials here illustrate reactions and broader patterns but do not supply that primary attribution (p1_s1–p1_s4).

If you want, I can search for direct transcripts or verified posts quoting Charlie Kirk about Brianna Ghey (not found in the current set)—tell me to proceed and I will look for primary-source clips or additional reporting.
