JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.”

JD Vance's statement that Charlie Kirk never said Black women lack brain processing power to be taken seriously is contradicted by several independent and credible sources. Snopes and Yahoo News fact-checks explicitly confirm that Charlie Kirk made statements targeting prominent Black women, including Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, claiming they lacked the 'brain processing power' to succeed on their own.snopes.comsnopes.comCharlie Kirk once said prominent Black women didn't have 'brain processing...ca.news.yahoo.comca.news.yahoo.comFact Check: Charlie Kirk once said prominent Black women didn't have 'brain...

Multiple social media posts and forum discussions quote Kirk as saying Black women 'do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously' and that they 'had to go steal a white person’s slot to be taken somewhat seriously. ' HuffPost also reports on these remarks, framing them as racist commentary from Kirk. While JD Vance denies Kirk uttered those exact words, the evidence shows that Kirk did make such statements or very close variants publicly.huffpost.comhuffpost.comCharlie Kirk Says Michelle Obama Among Black Women Who 'Steal A White Person's...threads.comthreads.comBlack women "do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really...+2 more

This is supported by direct quotes and fact-checking organizations. Therefore, Vance's claim is false based on the available evidence.
