Charlie didn't say that. You just did.
"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'"

I think you are going to have pivot in this debate from your position that "Charlie Kirk didn't make that statement about Black pilots that bearister falsely attributed to him," to "Charlie Kirk made that statement that bearister attributed to him and I agree with Charlie's statement wholeheartedly."
"Kirk said those words during a conversation on "Thoughtcrime," a panel discussion segment he hosted with Jack Posobiec as part of "The Charlie Kirk Show" podcast, on Jan. 18, 2024. In the episode, viewable on Rumble (archived), Kirk, Posobiec and their guests, Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff, discussed diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives for airline pilots.
The full context of the quote was as follows (beginning at 50:19):
KOLVET: We've all been in the back of a plane when the turbulence hits or when you're flying through a storm and you're like, "I'm so glad I saw the guy with the right stuff and the square jaw get into the cockpit before we took off. And I feel better now, thinking about that."
KIRK: You wanna go thought crime? I'm sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, "Boy, I hope he's qualified."
