Fact check: What has charlie kirk actually said about pedophilia

Checked on September 17, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not contain any direct quotes or statements from Charlie Kirk about pedophilia [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, according to one analysis, an audience member made a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia during one of Kirk's events, and Kirk responded by calling this connection a 'slippery slop fallacy' and asserting that, if you are sickened by gay men, 'then you are not a Trump supporter' [1]. Another analysis mentions a claim made by a former Idaho Department of Labor employee, David Berriochoa, who called Charlie Kirk a 'known pedophile' without providing evidence [2]. The majority of the analyses discuss the Jeffrey Epstein story and its connections to various public figures, including Donald Trump, but do not mention Charlie Kirk's statements about pedophilia [3] [5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key piece of missing context is the lack of direct quotes or statements from Charlie Kirk about pedophilia, which makes it difficult to assess his actual stance on the issue [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Additionally, the analyses provided do not offer alternative viewpoints on Charlie Kirk's stance on pedophilia, as most of them focus on the Epstein story or other unrelated topics [3] [5]. It is also worth noting that the claim made by David Berriochoa about Charlie Kirk being a 'known pedophile' is not supported by evidence and may be a baseless accusation [2]. Furthermore, the fact that an audience member made a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia during one of Kirk's events, and Kirk's response to it, may provide some insight into his views on the matter, but more context is needed to fully understand his stance [1].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement asks what Charlie Kirk has said about pedophilia, but the analyses provided do not contain any direct quotes or statements from Charlie Kirk about pedophilia, which may indicate that the original statement is based on unsubstantiated claims [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The claim made by David Berriochoa about Charlie Kirk being a 'known pedophile' without providing evidence may be an example of misinformation or defamation [2]. The fact that most of the analyses discuss the Epstein story and its connections to various public figures, but do not mention Charlie Kirk's statements about pedophilia, may indicate that the original statement is misleading or taken out of context [3] [5]. Overall, it appears that the original statement may be lacking in context and based on unsubstantiated claims, which could be beneficial to those who seek to discredit Charlie Kirk [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
