Charlie Kirk Israel controversy deepens as friend leaks haunting final texts
A friend of Charlie Kirk released more text messages from a leaked group chat where the Turning Point leader raged about 'bullying' Jewish donors.
Prior to his death, Kirk fumed in a group chat that he was considering leaving the 'pro-Israel cause' because Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson.
The text messages were leaked by Candace Owens early this week, with Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet later confirming the authenticity of the screenshots.
Josh Hammer, a columnist and senior-editor-at-large for Newsweek, released new screenshots that he claims show Kirk 'remained a true friend of the Jewish people and the Jewish state to the very end.'
Hammer, who was a member of the group chat where Kirk made his controversial comments about Israel, claims Kirk was 'blowing off steam in a private group chat setting.'
Hours after Kirk sent those messages he joined a Zoom call seeking advice on how to promote Israel on college campuses with Gen Z students.
'Thank you for your help today guys!' Kirk sent to the group members, some of whom are pro-Israel. Hammer claims the text messages were sent one day before Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University.
'The final-ever messages Charlie sent in this WhatsApp chat, which were delivered hours after the deeply out-of-context screenshots that the aforementioned lunatic and others have been discussing this week, make clear that Charlie was deeply grateful for our help,' Hammer wrote in a post on X.
