It is. He did. On his own show. As a pattern. Not as an outlier.
It is part of a larger pattern of racist vitriol, including remarks he was making as a MAGA-bred and MAGA-raised boy shot him.

![On the July 14, 2023 episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk criticized several high-profile Black women and framed their success as products of affirmative action, saying, in context about those specific women, that "you do not have the brain processing power to be taken really seriously," arguing they got their positions by
"steal[ing] a white person's slot" rather than merit.
Multiple outlets and social posts later cited that clip as the source of the claim that Kirk attacked their qualifications and intelligence on that date.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a353go5tklyl4dt5r2qg4lzt/bafkreibygmeir2ch7uxjvhjayjdyhc64rssxhryqnjvs32vs6dzvlq5ara@jpeg)

I had a temp job back in the 90s at WUNC and a new news announcer came down from DC and was talking on air about traffic in “Mee - Baine” and the lady I worked for said to a colleague “you wanna tell him or should I.”
Know there's a lot going on right now, but if you need an escape, I wrote about the Ochocinco-Raleigh thing. If you think you've heard someone mangle a North Carolina pronunciation worse than he did, I urge you to call and leave me a voicemail www.ncrabbithole.com/p/this-is-an...
This is an incredible way to pronounce "Raleigh"
