Before he was killed, Charlie Kirk once explained how he would want someone who ‘murdered him’ to be treated.
The eerie footage has resurfaced since the Turning Point USA was killed at an event in Utah earlier this month.
In the clip, he told an audience what he thought the appropriate punishment for taking someone’s life was.
Charlie Kirk discussed his own death before he even died
The conservative political figure, who was 31 when he was shot in the neck while speaking at an event, explained that he had a personal ideal when it came to the sanctity of human life.
In the example, he used his own murder, at the time unaware that his words would come under scrutiny for that exact reason.
On September 10, Kirk was shot and killed, and now the alleged shooter Tyler Robinson faces the death penalty if convicted of his murder.
The 22-year-old has been charged with aggravated murder, as well as a slew of other charges, meaning capital punishment will be sought if he is deemed guilty.
On September 22, footage started to circulate from an event in South Carolina in which Kirk discussed a number of topics alongside fellow conservative activist Alex McFarland.
After the fact, his camp said they decided to share the footage ‘so everyone could see Charlie doing what he did so very well’ until he was killed.
Asked about the death penalty and the 10 commandments, Kirk said: “Great question. I get this question a lot.
“So, it does say 'do not murder' - it does not say 'do not kill'. So those are two different Hebrew words, right?
"To murder is a completely different thing than to kill. For example, you're allowed to kill in self-defence. Somebody comes into your house, you are allowed to take that life, if your life is being put into jeopardy."
He went on to say that ‘a life for a life is the only law that is in all five books of the Torah’ adding that ‘not even the Sabbath is in all five books of the Torah’.
Charlie Kirk’s speech then turned to his own potential murder
He continued: “So, this idea of taking a life if you take a life,
"What is it rooted in? Why does it matter? Well, first of all, God is communicating to us.
"The first thing - taking human life is a major deal.
“That's God's first moral teaching in the Torah, that it's not to be trivialised. The only punishment imaginable for taking the thing that... only we are made in the image of God.
“So if you take another image bearer's life, what could possibly be a just punishment for that?
“Well, according to the economy of God, it's that your life must also be taken.
“And according to scriptural theology, we are not taking that person's life.
“When you take another person's life, you already took your own life.”
“If someone were to murder Alex or murder me, they already murdered themselves in that action,
“They already bestowed the punishment upon themselves, we are simply completing the task.
“And think about it - some people will say, 'But Charlie, it's not fair because of whatever sob story liberal reason'. But you know who it's not fair to? It's not fair to the victims.
“You are cheapening the lives of the victims.
“You are basically saying, the victims die and you get to live. So you get to continue to live, even though you took the lives of others.”
“In order to say that those people's lives mattered, the only just thing that we could reason ourselves to, is to take that person's life.
“And that is not murder.
“That is killing. And it's societal self-defence.”
