NEW YORK (CONVERSEER) – Charlie Kirk’s best friend and producer, Andrew Kolvet, has clarified Kirk’s position on Israel, saying he was upset that there was a “clampdown” on free speech.
Kolvet also said that, to the best of his knowledge, Kirk was not offered $150M from Israel.
“Charlie’s position on Israel was very clear: ‘I like them more than I like Hamas.'”
“‘I just wish I was free to criticise Israel and not be labelled an anti-Semite because I can criticise my own government and not be called anti-American.'”
“He was really upset that there was this sort of clampdown on the freedom of expression, the freedom of ideas, free speech when it came to a foreign government.”
“Charlie was a friend of the Jewish people and a friend of Israel…”
