A Texas pastor tied to Rep. Jasmine Crockett is under fire after calling Charlie Kirk a “fake Christian,” claiming he was “killed by a white Christian,” and warning, “Don’t compare Kirk to King!” Backlash erupts nationwide as supporters demand answers.
A Texas pastor tied to Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett is facing widespread criticism after making explosive comments about the late conservative figure Charlie Kirk, questioning his faith, disputing the circumstances of his death, and even comparing public narratives around him to civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Pastor’s Controversial Sermon
In a sermon delivered to his congregation, the pastor implied that Charlie Kirk was a “fake Christian” and went further, claiming that Kirk was “killed by a white Christian.” He also forcefully rejected the notion that Kirk had been “assassinated,” arguing that such language was designed to elevate his death beyond what it truly represented.
The most incendiary statement came when the pastor warned against linking Kirk to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Don’t compare Kirk to King!” His words immediately spread online, sparking both outrage and fierce debate.
Backlash From Kirk’s Supporters
Conservatives and Kirk’s supporters responded with anger, accusing the pastor of disrespecting a man who had built one of the largest right-wing youth movements in America. Social media lit up with hashtags such as #RespectCharlie and #KirkLegacy, with users calling the sermon “deeply offensive” and “a deliberate attempt to smear a man who can no longer defend himself.”
Some prominent Republican figures also weighed in, with commentators warning that such rhetoric only further divides an already fractured nation. Calls are now mounting for Rep. Jasmine Crockett to distance herself from the pastor’s remarks or clarify whether she supports his statements.
Political Fallout
The pastor’s remarks come at a time when the United States remains polarized over Charlie Kirk’s legacy and the circumstances of his death. For many conservatives, Kirk was a patriot and a fighter for free speech. For his critics, however, he embodied division.
With the controversy now spilling into the political arena, questions are being raised about whether Crockett will face pressure from her colleagues — and whether Democrats can afford to ignore the uproar as the nation heads into a tense election season.
