Exactly. He also never said civil rights were a mistake, just passing it into law was a mistake because he thinks it's being abused today.

Well, I do think I just heard him say that in the Rumble video. He admits both that he said MLK was a bad guy, and that he said the act was a mistake. He just doesn't get into why he thought those things. I want to hear his argument in support of his statements.
I like that he openly admits his views have changed. He even admits that he used to think MLK as "holy" as the rest of us have come to believe. M:Ks holiness is what is suspect to Kirk, not everything he stood for. There really could have been aspects to MLK that were awful. Was his comment directed to only those things, those human flaws MLK must have had, that we are not told? I find this whole thing very interesting. Why do we think what we think? Many of us think we figure stuff out via critical thinking, when what really has happened is that we believe what we have been told.
I'll try to find a video of him explaining his position on the Act. As far as MLK goes, I've heard the same thing many times over the years, specifically that he was abusive to women. I've also heard the same thing about Gandhi.
I would love any full videos. Thanks!
The talk about the Civil Rights Act begins at 10:41
Interesting that this interviewee says the conditions of people of color have degraded since the civil rights act, and perhaps because of it. The segment is too pro-Trump for my taste. Again, this is not Kirk's explanation of why he thinks the act was detrimental in some respects.
Here's another one in his own words.

Thank you! That clears up a lot. He clearly states it isn't the civil rights act that was inherently bad, but that the way the act is being used is. As with any law, there will be those who will try to push it beyond its intended limits.
Yes. I feel as though we have many laws that are beyond their expiration date.
I do disagree with him. Isn't it a wonderful country that we can do that 🌷
