It is hard to overstate how important Charlie Kirk’s impact was and how sorely he will be missed. There indeed is a schism within the conservative movement, and Charlie Kirk was on the side of those who spoke the language of moral truth and standing up to bigotry and hatred. Tucker, Candace, and the other enablers of hatred on the conservative side of the aisle are leading the charge to attack Israel at every turn.

President Trump attacks Venezuela – blame it on the Jews. President Trump takes an activist foreign policy against Iran – blame it on the Jews. The knee-jerk reaction to blame the Jewish people in conspiratorial fashion is absolutely a function of bias, hatred, and ancient anti-Jewish attitudes that are becoming stylish in the isolationist wing of the Republican Party.
To be clear, the vast majority of Republicans in power today are clearly not holding where Tucker and Candace are holding. But they are losing the next generations in droves to the isolationist wing. So too, the pro-Israel sentiment that so many of the more mature members of the Republican Party are infused with is not transferring down into the next generation.
It was not just Charlie Kirk who noticed this. Robert Kennedy Jr. noticed this about his own children too. Kennedy, who is well-versed in the history of the Land of Israel and the debates surrounding it, sounds very much like his father, the late Robert Kennedy, a man who was cut down by a self-proclaimed “palestinian” Sirhan Sirhan. Yet Kennedy has noted that his own children are not naturally pro-Israel – quite the reverse.
What is often overlooked by so many Democrats is that the last time a Democrat Presidential candidate was assassinated, it was by a “palestinian.” Nearly every act of terror in the United States today is committed by Arabs. The last massive terror attack in the United States, 9-11, was not committed by Arabs by chance. It is part of a culture of death that radical Islamists are infused with. The very last thing that most Arab immigrants to the USA have been doing is assimilating. That is one of the reasons why isolationism is gaining momentum. But the flipside of the coin is to not bury our heads against the threats that radicals Islamists pose to the safety of the citizenry of the United States.
The only explanation for why the Tuckers and Candaces of the world cannot see this is that they are blinded by their hatred for the Jewish people. Charlie Kirk understood this and spoke out about it. Soon after, he was gone.
