Nolte: New York Times’ Hasty Attempt to Discredit Charlie Kirk Leads to Embarrassing Retraction

The progressive New York Times quickly attempted to paint the late Charlie Kirk as an anti-Semite, an action that has now led to an embarrassing correction from this left-leaning publication.

Initially published on September 11, 2025, the piece required the Times to acknowledge that it erroneously attributed antisemitic remarks to Kirk, which were originally from another source that he had criticized…

A correction was issued on Sept. 11, 2025: An earlier version of this article inaccurately attributed antisemitic remarks to Charlie Kirk during an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a remark from a social media post and proceeded to critique it, not endorsing it as his own. [bold and italics original]

Here are the lies (in my bold) the Times published that are now deleted:

Mr. Kirk was a supporter of Trump’s anti-immigration stance, backing the controversial Great Replacement Theory, which suggests that immigrants will eventually replace white Americans. This unproven theory also posits that Jews are allegedly facilitating the decrease of white dominance by promoting mass immigration.

“Jewish communities have been advocating the exact kind of animosity towards whites that they profess to want people to cease using against them,” he stated on his podcast, “The Charlie Kirk Show,” in 2023.

For anyone still stupid enough to suggest this was some sort of mistake—no, it wasn’t.

Honest mistakes are not partisan. One side of the political aisle is not the serial victim of “honest mistakes.”

These so-called “honest mistakes” seem to exclusively target the right-leaning political spectrum by the Times, indicating that these are not merely errors. They appear to be intentional slanders by a radical organization hoping they go unnoticed, all in an effort to cater to their extremist readership which is their dwindling means of survival.
