Conservative podcast host Charlie Kirk accused prominent Black women of using Affirmative Action to "steal" college admission slots from white people.

"If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Katanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called a racist," Kirk said Thursday. "But now they're coming out, and they're saying it for us. They're coming out, and they're saying, I'm only here because of Affirmative Action."

"Yeah, we know you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously," he continued. "You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously. We know, we know it's very obvious to us that you were not smart enough to be able to get in on your own."

Kirk called Reid, an MSNBC host, "the dumbest narcissist on television." And he suggested that some airplane pilots might not be qualified because of Affirmative Action.

"I want to tell you that we have Sheila Jackson Lee on board, and in the spirit of Affirmative Action, we have Ramon and Cadillac are your two pilots," Kirk said. "They've never flown before, but they are Black. Sheila Jackson Lee would be like, 'Forget it, I'm off this plane.' She would jump like, 'I ain't flying here.'"

"Ramon and Cadillac did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, and they're Black," he added.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that colleges could no longer use race as a factor in college admissions. However, there is no evidence Michelle Obama prevented a white person from going to college.
