Fact check: What were Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic of sexual consent?

Checked on September 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic of sexual consent. According to the analysis from [1], Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic are: 'It is so materially insane to think that 1 in 5 American women will be raped in their life … meaning that they’re lying about being raped, that they’re lying about being sexually assaulted. Like a fraternity guy and a sorority girl at age 19 hooking up, both five drinks in at 2 a.m. and all of a sudden, like, she removes consent. Yeah, like, that’s a murky, middle gray area' [1]. However, other analyses from [2] and [3] do not provide direct quotes from Charlie Kirk on the topic of sexual consent, but they mention his polarizing views and controversies, including his remarks on women's issues [2] [3]. Additionally, analyses from [4], [5], and [6] do not provide any information on Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic of sexual consent [4] [5] [6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the lack of dates and specific events related to Charlie Kirk's comments on sexual consent, which could provide more insight into the circumstances surrounding his statements [1]. Alternative viewpoints are also missing, such as expert opinions on the topic of sexual consent and how Charlie Kirk's comments may be perceived by different groups [2] [3]. Furthermore, the analyses from [4], [5], and [6] do not provide any information on Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic of sexual consent, which could be due to limited access to information or intentional omission [4] [5] [6].

  • The context in which Charlie Kirk made his comments on sexual consent

  • The various perspectives on the topic of sexual consent, including those of experts and advocacy groups

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

Additionally, the analyses from [4], [5], and [6] may be incomplete or intentionally omitting information on Charlie Kirk's exact words on the topic of sexual consent, which could be due to political or ideological motivations [4] [5] [6]. Those who may benefit from this framing include:
