Benjamin Watson and Emmanuel Acho SLANDER Charlie Kirk



Famous NFL football players Benjamin Watson and Emmanuel Acho are jumping on the anti-Charlie Kirk bandwagon — and like everyone else, they’re taking the Turning Point USA founder out of context and smearing his character while they do it.

“Since hearing of the murder of Charlie Kirk and seeing such unjustifiable graphic violence my heart has been torn and my spirit uneasy. I was neither fan nor follower of Charlie, but I was aware of his influence. While respecting his humanity and right to dialogue, my critique of his words and opinions was pointed,” Watson wrote in a post on Facebook.

“I found Charlie’s verbal attacks on black men, women, and their achievement reprehensible and utterly inexcusable. His derogatory words were a form of violence and dehumanization. He routinely amplified stereotypes and platformed prejudice, giving license to masses with similar sentiments. He did this while routinely proclaiming the name of Jesus,” he added.

While Watson went on to call Charlie’s assassination an “evil, unconscionable act,” it doesn’t change that he also became one of the many actively slandering the Turning Point founder in his passing.


And BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe is not a fan.

“I have a lot of disdain for Ben Watson for the damage that he's done over the years, and this adds to it. You know, Ben Watson, I think, reads the Bible, at least contends to. He should know that Proverbs 6 states the things that God hates. One of them is a lying tongue, and he lied about every word of what he just said about Charlie Kirk,” Moe tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

But Watson is not even close to the only former NFL player going after Kirk.

“Charlie Kirk’s death has led me to an uncomfortable conversation that I want to facilitate. To my white brothers and sisters, how would you hope your minority friends respond to the celebration of Charlie Kirk’s life when he has very publicly said things like this,” sports analyst Emmanuel Acho says before playing several out-of-context clips of Charlie speaking.

One of the clips showed Charlie saying “Cenk” to Cenk Uygur. Acho assumed Charlie was calling an Asian the “C-word.”

“He’s calling someone by their name. He’s not calling them a c***k. Acho couldn’t be bothered with doing that level of research as it relates to taking Kirk out of context at every turn and just leaning into sound bites,” Whitlock says.

“Engage with the actual argument,” he adds.

Former NFL star Benjamin Watson steamrolls 'pro-choice pastor' Sen. Raphael Warnock: 'A pastor knows the value of human life'



Former NFL star Benjamin Watson hit out at Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), the Georgia lawmaker who prides himself on being a "pro-choice pastor."

What are the details?

Watson, an outspoken Christian and proponent of the pro-life movement, issued a snappy response after Warnock tweeted about women's rights.

Warnock, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, tweeted, "As a pro-choice pastor, I've always believed that a patient's room is way too small for a woman, her doctor, and the United States government."

Warnock made the remarks on the 49th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

Clearly taken aback by the lawmaker's tweet, Watson fired back, "Is a patient's room too small for a child as well? 76% of women in those rooms say they would prefer to parent if circumstances were different."

"A Pastor knows the value of human life," he thundered. "A Senator knows how to support mother AND child. Sir, you know better. Stop being scared."

Watson later added that Christians need to beware of people who emphasize their "position in the church before stating what THEY have always believed NOT what God's word says."

“They’ve sacrificed moral credibility to accrue power and used their religious position as cover for an agenda. It doesn’t have to be this way,” he pointed out.

What else?

In December 2020, a coalition of at least 25 black pastors rallied against Warnock, slamming him for supporting abortion.

In an open letter, the pastors said that they felt "compelled to confront" the reverend for what they said were his "grave errors of judgment" and a "lapse in pastoral responsibility."

A month earlier, Warnock tweeted that he would "always fight for reproductive justice," and shortly after that, Warnock said he believed the "right" to abortion is a product of "human agency and freedom."

A portion of the letter read:

As a Christian pastor and as a black leader, you have a duty to denounce the evil of abortion, which kills a disproportionate number of black children. Your open advocacy of abortion is a scandal to the faith and to the black community.

Abortion is fundamentally in conflict with the plain reading of the Bible. The Bible clearly teaches that human life is created by God beginning at conception.

As Psalm 139 proclaims: "You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am wonderfully and fearfully made." What human being could possibly have the right to blot out an innocent life that God has wonderfully and fearfully made?Abortion prematurely thwarts God's providential and loving plan for a promising human life.

And by terminating an innocent unborn life in the womb, abortion directly violates the seventh commandment: "Thou shalt not kill."
