White fright

September 30, 2025 by Guest Post

by Bridget Dolan, Victor

I tuned in ever so briefly to the Charlie Kirk memorial only to hear some Turning Point wonk proclaim (with his subservient wife by his side) that Charlie wanted people to procreate and even “to have babies they cannot afford.”

Clearly, this sentiment was intended for white evangelicals. These people are so terrified of being the minority. Why?

    Please tell us you’re a racist without telling us you’re a racist. Are you aware, Bridget, that there is a call to procreate in mass upon the Muslims? There are Muslims who have moved into Michigan (Forget about Europe where it is rampant) that have 10+ kids and are living off of the state and US Government dime. There is nothing wrong with Procreating, and I can assure you with 100% certainty, your comment about “Even if they can’t afford them” was taken completely out of context. Just like when Stephen King tweeted that Charlie wanted to stone the gays, which he later found out was completely wrong and taken out of context, yet issued no apologies or corrections.

      My wife is Muslim and a Palestinian. your claim that there is a call to procreate in mass is false as are your other claims. this also shows your want of a boogeyman.

        I’m sure she’s a lovely lady, but that does not make her an authority on the subject. My claims are as always…… Based on facts.

          she’s an awesome woman and knows far more about islam than you. your claims are based on fear and ignorance. ever been to Palestine or Dearborn MI?

            Nope. Ever been to the World Trade Center? Know anyone who worked there? How about some local NYFD or NYPD that died on 9/11?

          Lol! Fear, ignorance, and strawman. Sad that you know nothing about Islam except what you read and hear on your fear based sites and podcasts. Too bad.

      Please add the context.

      You cannot assure anything. Unless out of context means, yes, he was addressing a bunch of white evangelicals and not a mixed-company crowd (by that I mean progressive vs. regressive) but sure, I am the racist.

        Show me a “Mixed Company Crowd” that was organized by Democrats, It’s non Existent. Charlie Kirk invited ALL voices to be heard, that was his focus. Unlike the arrogant Progressives who think they know it all but in reality are the bottom of the food chain.

          Ever see video of a Kirk “all voices” gathering? Pretty much all white.

      I was listening to the broadcast. There was no out of context.

      I lived with a Muslim family in Cairo for a year (2003-2004 you know when we invaded Iraq?) Didn’t hear any such thing. You are embarrassingly ignorant of the reality of this world. I will guess you watch Fox and have ventured no further than Las Vegas? Maybe an all-inclusive resort in Mexico where you complained about people speaking Spanish.

      I want to feel sorry for people like you who have been left behind. Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and stop relying on blue states to subsidize your way of life in red Montana..

    I am guessing you and your ilk.

    It is so rare that I get the opportunity to address an expert on “Charlie Kirk” matters so please expand on “These people” and their, obviously, unwarranted fear.
