Charlie Kirk's recent attempt to slam Democratic hypocrisy quickly backfired when social media users fired back with critical retorts about his argument.

During a recent segment of "The Charlie Kirk Show," the right-wing influencer weighed in with his take on former President Donald Trump's indictment handed down by the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

At one point during his rant, he attempted to point out what he believes is hypocrisy among Democrats in regard to presidential accountability.

"Some of you say, Well, Charlie, there's nothing these Republicans can do," Kirk said. "They control the DOJ. FBI? No, no, you're wrong. This was a local DA that indicted Trump. We have thousands of Republican sheriffs, local DAs, and we have well over 25 Republican AGs."

He added, "So it's this is not even about the forget the federal government, because guess what? They just indicted Trump in a local area. So the equivalent is this, okay? You indict Donald Trump in Manhattan. We indict Bill Clinton in Coeur d'alene, Idaho. Figure it out."

Shortly after the clip of Kirk's segment began circulating on social media, users pushed back with blistering responses.

One user tweeted, "Oh no don't arrest Bill Clinton that would be so heartbreaking it's the last thing people on the left want to see don't do it don't do it."
