Charlie Kirk's Campus Debates at Michigan State University
Showing 10 Michigan State University videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Michigan State University hosted one of Charlie Kirk's more wide-ranging open-mic campus events, drawing a crowd he noted was larger than a recent stop at the University of Michigan. One exchange featured a former gay man who described leaving the LGBTQ community after converting to Christianity, prompting Kirk to argue that sexual behavior shouldn't define personal identity, while a separate student, who identified as part Ethiopian, pushed back on Kirk's defense of the Trump administration against accusations of fascism, citing concerns about executive power and judicial oversight. Kirk also fielded a challenge from a student objecting to the deportation of foreign students over pro-Palestinian speech, defending the policy as a legitimate condition of a student visa while acknowledging it could be abused by a future administration. Faith and morality were recurring threads throughout the event too, with Kirk defending traditional Christian teaching against student arguments for subjective morality and religious pluralism.
