In fact, most sources do not mention Charlie Kirk's slavery comments or Turning Point USA's response to the backlash against them [1] [2]. One source mentions that Charlie Kirk had guests on his podcast, including a slavery apologist, but does not provide information on Kirk's slavery comments or Turning Point USA's response to the backlash against them [3]. The sources primarily discuss Charlie Kirk's death and the authors' reflections on violence in America [2].

Key context missing from the original statement includes specific details about Charlie Kirk's slavery comments and the nature of the backlash against him [1] [2] [3]. Alternative viewpoints that could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation include statements from Turning Point USA or accounts from individuals who witnessed or were affected by the backlash. Additionally, an examination of Charlie Kirk's podcast and its content could offer insight into his views on slavery and how they were received by the public [3].
