Jonathan Isaac Defends Decision To Appear at Charlie Kirk Event Despite Kirk’s ‘Recent Rants’ About Race

Share

In another recent appearance, Kirk expressed his desire to “wind back the clock” to the 1950s and 1960s. 

“I’m not allowed to say that—‘Oh, you’re a racist,’” Kirk quipped. “Okay, there were actually some good things in the 50s and 60s, like people were way more polite and less people had autism. And, you know, I don’t know, it was like a more decent country.” 

During that same appearance, Kirk seemed to suggest that Trump supporters would need to engage in political violence if Donald Trump does not win the 2024 presidential election. 

“I want to make sure that we all make a commitment that if this election doesn’t go our way, the next day we fight,” Kirk said. “That’s a very important thing.” Kirk went on to compare current American politics to the American Revolutionary War. 

On yet another occasion, Kirk suggested that Haiti needed to be recolonized, referring to the country as “legitimately infested with demonic voodoo.” While Kirk expressed that he does not want the United States to be the colonizer, he said he thinks “it would be terrific” for China to “have to try and figure out Haiti.”

Notably, Isaac is Haitian American.

Amid criticism that he is still set to appear at “The Believer’s Summit,” Isaac took to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday (March 23) to defend his decision.

“I think it’s warranted to be skeptical of my intentions given Charlie’s recent rants,” Isaac wrote. “I disagree with Charlie on a lot of what he says about the black community, especially how he says it.”

“That is why I’m still going to speak at the event. Because Christ still has to be preached regardless of the audience and especially coming from a black man in that circle,” Isaac continued. “My goal is to unite the kingdom…Maybe I’ll be the one to shed light to Charlie when it comes to black engagement.”

“We’ll see, but Twitter fingers sure won’t,” he added. “That task is going to take black Christians being transparent and bold in predominantly white spaces and vice versa because our ish stinks too.”

Isaac went on to express that he does not make his decisions out of fear of other people’s opinions, because the “Kingdom means too much” and “Black youth means too much.”
