In fact, none of the sources mention Charlie Kirk making a statement that George Floyd "had it coming" [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. However, one source does mention Charlie Kirk calling George Floyd a "scumbag" and stating he was unworthy of attention [2]. Additionally, another source discusses Charlie Kirk's comments on the January 6th protesters, stating they showed "bad judgment" rather than being insurrectionists [3]. It is essential to note that the majority of the sources do not provide any information regarding Charlie Kirk's statements on George Floyd or the January 6th protesters [1] [7] [8] [4] [5] [6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may contain potential misinformation as it claims Charlie Kirk said George Floyd had it coming and that the Jan 6th protesters didn't, which is not supported by the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. This could be an attempt to misrepresent Charlie Kirk's views and create a negative narrative around him.
