Fact check: What did charlie kirk say about womens intelligence

Checked on September 17, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about Charlie Kirk's comments on women's intelligence. According to [1], Charlie Kirk made derogatory comments about Black women's intelligence, stating they do not have 'the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously' and had to 'steal a white person's slot' to be taken somewhat seriously [1]. This is further supported by [1] and [2], which confirm that Charlie Kirk said some prominent Black women did not have 'the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously', directly relating to the claim about his comments on women's intelligence [1]. [2] also provides context about affirmative action and the educational backgrounds of the women he targeted, such as Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson [2]. However, not all sources directly address Charlie Kirk's comments on women's intelligence, with some discussing his assassination, controversy, and legacy instead [3] [4] [5] [6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources do not directly address Charlie Kirk's comments on women's intelligence, instead discussing his assassination and the subsequent controversy [3], or his past remarks about Taylor Swift and her role in society [5]. Additionally, [4] mentions a department chair at the University of Alabama in Huntsville accusing Kirk of 'racist, sexist, and homo/transphobic' language, which may provide context to his views on women [4]. [2] provides alternative viewpoints by criticizing Charlie Kirk's statements as racist and problematic, and providing context about affirmative action and the educational backgrounds of the women he targeted [2]. It is essential to consider these alternative viewpoints and missing context to gain a comprehensive understanding of Charlie Kirk's comments on women's intelligence.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be biased or misleading as it does not specify which women Charlie Kirk was referring to, or provide context about his comments [1]. The statement may benefit those who want to criticize Charlie Kirk's views on women's intelligence, while potentially misleading those who are not aware of the context and specific comments made by Charlie Kirk [1]. On the other hand, sources that do not directly address Charlie Kirk's comments on women's intelligence may benefit those who want to downplay or distract from his controversial statements [3] [4] [5] [6]. It is crucial to consider multiple sources and evaluate the potential misinformation or bias in the original statement to form a well-rounded understanding of the topic [1] [2].
