Wajahat Ali Admits Error After Being Fact-Checked on Charlie Kirk Claim

What was said

"Thank you for fact-checking. I saw that video. You fact-checked it. I stand corrected."

Liberal commentator Wajahat Ali publicly admitted he was wrong about claiming Charlie Kirk said Black people were better off during slavery, after Piers Morgan fact-checked him in real time. The claim originated from a manipulated viral video. Ali acknowledged the error and corrected himself, though he maintained Kirk made other controversial racial statements. The moment stood out in a contentious debate where panelists accused each other of spreading conspiracy theories.
