Watching Donald Trump Jr. on Megyn Kelly’s show was a reminder of how wilfully blind much of the mainstream press remains about conservative voices. He pushed back hard on the lazy narrative that Charlie Kirk was somehow anti-Israel, arguing instead that Kirk’s record demonstrated deep and longstanding support for the Jewish state and a consistent defense of its right to exist.
What so many on the left and in the media miss — deliberately or not — is Kirk’s nuance: he was a passionate, pro-Israel conservative who nevertheless criticized specific Israeli leaders and policies when he thought they were wrong. Kirk himself spoke openly about believing in scriptural land rights for Israel and described a lifelong commitment to defending Israel, even while sometimes pushing back against the Netanyahu playbook.
That nuance is weaponized by opponents into a smear: disagree with Israeli policy and you’re labeled an anti-Semite. Kirk warned against that weaponization, arguing that labeling every critic as bigoted shuts down necessary debate and hands the cultural high ground to the left. Conservatives should take that warning seriously — our freedoms are at stake when disagreement becomes censorship.
The backdrop to this conversation is raw and painful: Charlie Kirk was gunned down, and the outpouring at his memorial demonstrated how many Americans saw him — a tireless defender of conservative principles who pushed back against media lies. Trump Jr. and others used the platform to call for courage, unity, and an unapologetic defense of conservative leaders who face real danger for speaking the truth.
It’s long past time conservatives stop letting the left define the terms of debate about Israel, free speech, and national identity. Big Tech and the establishment media have shown they will silence inconvenient truths and group dissent into neat labels, but Kirk’s life reminded us that bravery matters more than approval from elites. We should honor that legacy by defending free expression, supporting Israel’s survival, and refusing to be bullied into silence.
For patriotic Americans who value courage over convenience, Trump Jr.’s message on Megyn Kelly’s show landed where it needed to: stop the dishonest framing and stand firmly with those who have consistently defended our allies and our freedoms. If the right wants to win the long culture war, we must stop apologizing for nuance, call out the left’s hypocrisy, and keep building institutions that protect voices like Charlie Kirk’s.
