Part 2/9:
Charlie Kirk made a statement implying that certain Black women—such as Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson—benefited from affirmative action policies simply because of their race and gender. He suggested that their accomplishments might be attributed to these policies rather than merit, implying a form of skepticism about their qualifications or capabilities. Notably, Kirk pointed out that these women themselves had acknowledged receiving affirmative action advantages during their educational journeys. For example, Michelle Obama openly discussed her experiences at Harvard, expressing doubts about whether she was admitted solely on her merit or because of affirmative action.
