Detroit Democratic State House member Karen Whitsett, who is running for Detroit City Council, says Charlie Kirk wasn’t a racist:
She pointed to criticism of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who Whitsett says was not a racist: “People say things about people that shouldn’t be said. Like Trump talking about how Kamala wasn’t Black. He wasn’t the only person saying that, but he shouldn’t have said it.”
