TPUSA lying about Charlie Kirk to defend Iran war – journalist (VIDEOS)

Journalist Max Blumenthal has accused conservativist aggroup turn repoint USA (TPUSA) of misrepresenting the stance of its tardily co-founder Charlie Kirk in order to defend the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Kirk, a popular podcaster, was killed by a sniper last September while speaking at a college in Utah. His widow, Erika Kirk, has since taken over the leadership of TPUSA.
On Monday, two days after the US began conducting airstrikes in Iran, TPUSA posted a video on X of Kirk praising the Westernization of Iran that continued until the shah was overthrown in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. “If you are serious about actually protecting human rights, you should want to make Iran Western again,” Kirk says in the clip.

The post received a community note saying that the clip predates Kirk’s statement from June 2025, in which he called regime change in Iran “pathologically insane.”
“TPUSA got community noted for deliberately misrepresenting Charlie Kirk’s vehement opposition to a US war on Iran,” Blumenthal wrote in response to the note.
Although Kirk supported President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites in June 2025, he warned hawkish Republicans that an intervention to topple the Iranian government would likely lead to “unintended and unforeseen consequences.”

“How do you know it’s going to be better? Yeah, the ayatollah is awful but maybe he’s one of the few guys that can keep that country together and not have a 90-million-person civil war,” Kirk said on his podcast last year, adding that the downfall of the government could trigger sectarian violence and a wave of refugees into Europe.
Trump has publicly backed the protests and riots that began in Iran in December and urged Iranians opposing the government to use the ongoing airstrikes as an opportunity to seize power.
