Ben Carson Credits Cleon Skousen's Warnings About Communist Infiltration
Showing 4 Cleon Skousen videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Dr. Ben Carson, speaking at a memorial for Charlie Kirk, credited Cleon Skousen's 1958 book The Naked Communist with exposing how Marxists planned to gain control of America's public education system, teacher unions, media, and entertainment industry in order to gradually reshape the culture rather than pursue revolution directly. Carson connected Skousen's decades-old warnings to what he described as today's ongoing cultural radicalization, arguing Kirk's own death should spur a return to the Judeo-Christian principles he says built American exceptionalism. A separate account of Kirk's memorial highlights RFK Jr.'s tribute describing Kirk as someone who chose to "die with his boots on" rather than surrender his convictions.
