Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, September 12, 2025

No, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud did not speak out publicly about the death of Charlie Kirk this week, no matter what you might have read on social media. That goes for the Twitter account of Gov. Greg Abbott as well. There are several Facebook pages dedicated to sports that do nothing but make up ridiculously fake stories and wait for the social media interaction to roll in. Remember Jose Altuve supposedly being denied entrance at a Louis Vuitton store last month? It was obviously false and started on a fake page designed to rile up readers.

There's a similar page dedicated to the Houston Texans with fabricated stories like Will Anderson Jr., supposedly buying a $2.6 million house for homeless children in Houston or other players failing drug tests.

That's where Stroud's made-up comments about Kirk originated with one of the sites posting on Wednesday night, hours after the conservative activist was shot and killed in Utah:

UNPRECEDENTED IN TEXANS HISTORY: CJ Stroud wants the team and the entire NFL to observe a moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. "It's heartbreaking to see America lose such an important voice," Stroud said. "My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones. This is not only their loss, but a reminder of the need for us to come together, respect each other, and stand up for the values we share in this country."
