Charlie Kirk's Defense of Brett Kavanaugh During His Confirmation
Showing 5 Kavanaugh Confirmation videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
During Brett Kavanaugh's contentious 2018 Supreme Court confirmation, Charlie Kirk publicly defended the presumption of innocence against gang-rape allegations that lacked corroborating witnesses, pointing to Mark Judge's sworn affidavit denying the claims as evidence the accusations hadn't been adequately substantiated before being treated as established fact. Kirk directly confronted protesters gathered at the Capitol during the confirmation fight, engaging demonstrators who accused him of racism and attempted to have him removed from public property over permit disputes, using the exchanges to argue that opponents of Kavanaugh were unwilling to defend their position through actual debate. Kirk framed the entire episode as illustrative of a broader pattern he sees on the left: substituting accusations and procedural objections for substantive argument, a critique he extended specifically to protesters' reluctance to engage him directly on camera about their specific objections to Kavanaugh's confirmation.
