I wasn't impressed by Charlie Kirk's performance at the Oxford Union - too much up Trump's arse. And that bit in support of the Jan 6 mob.

However that snippet in the link you posted where he's talking to Ben Shapiro shows Kirk in a different light - in that one as he asked about ethnic cleansing claims in Gaza you could see he was obviously a supporter of Israel, but not someone who felt Israel should just be allowed to do anything in Gaza.

Maybe the wealthy jewish donors were trying to use him as a mouthpiece, and he was pushing back.

and yet I possess a strong moral compass and principles.

 

That's debatable
