Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is applauding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, saying the two-time NFL MVP showed "courage and conviction" after facing criticism for sharing Kirk’s faith-based post on X that read, "It’s all about Jesus."

"I just want to say to Lamar… you are more than welcome in this big movement that we are building…" the conservative influencer told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, referencing reports of a Christian revival in America.

"You could be a Democrat, you could be on the left. I don't care. Jesus is honestly the most important thing."

RAVENS' LAMAR JACKSON SPARKS OUTRAGE AFTER RE-POSTING CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCER'S CHRISTIAN MESSAGE

The quarterback’s X timeline is filled with religious content, with posts such as "God is Good" and Bible verses from other accounts. His political beliefs, however, remain unclear.

Jackson faced criticism on Sunday after he re-shared Kirk's post, drawing ire from those who disagree with Kirk's politics.

One wrote, "It’s not the message that is the problem, it’s the messenger. If Lamar Jackson was a plumber and not a NFL player, Charlie Kirk would call him a DEI hire he wouldn’t trust to work in his home."

Fox News Digital previously reached out to a Jackson rep for comment.

Kirk said he believes the backlash stems from celebrities and star athletes not being "allowed" to share views that are considered conservative. 

"He's a phenomenal talent, a once-in-a-generation, two-time MVP, and I'm just thrilled that he hasn't apologized or backed down, to the best of my knowledge, for just retweeting a very simple Sunday message: 'It's all about Jesus,'" he said.

"We are seeing Gen Z go back to church in record numbers. We are seeing a Christian revival. That should give everyone in this audience hope. It's the greatest news happening in America right now, and God bless Lamar Jackson for having the courage and the conviction to repost that on his social media.

"Who cares what the naysayers say? He's standing firm for what matters most, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ."

The illegal immigrant truck driver who is accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida that killed three people failed English and road sign tests during the investigation into the wreck, officials said.

Harjinder Singh, who crossed into the United States illegally in 2018 via the southern border, obtained a commercial driver's license in California. He attempted to obtain work authorization, but it was rejected by the first Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs.

"During [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's] interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance," the Department of Transportation said in a statement. "The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."

The DOT indicated that the investigation began on Aug. 14, two days after the crash.

Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. He was arrested in Stockton, California on Saturday. 

According to the DOT, Singh was issued a regular full-term commercial driver’s license in the state of Washington in July 2023, but that illegal immigrants are not allowed to obtain this type of license. 

A year later, Singh was issued a limited-term/non-domiciled commercial driver's license in California. The DOT is investigating further whether the issuance of that license followed federal regulations. 

On July 3, the New Mexico State Police pulled Singh over and conducted a roadside inspection of him. He was given a speeding ticket, but not subjected to an English language proficiency test, which was required by law beginning on June 25. 

Singh allegedly made a U-turn in an unauthorized area on the Florida Turnpike, causing his truck to jackknife and collide with a minivan. The three occupants of the minivan died in the crash.

The crash sparked a bitter spat between the office of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and McLaughlin, as Newsom's office tried to wriggle its way out of responsibility for Singh's work permit.

"Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless," Newsom's office said in a post on X when criticized by McLaughlin. 

"False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020," McLaughlin replied. "It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL."

A spokesperson for Newsom told Fox News Digital that Singh was reissued a work permit on April 9, and once again blamed Trump.

"Why don’t you ask Trump about the driver’s federally issued work permit and when he entered this country?," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Spoiler alert: it was in 2018 under Trump — whoops. He would have been eligible in any state. California followed federal law, something the President knows nothing about."

"In fact, the driver in this case was reissued an Employment Authorization (work permit) on 4/9/2025 and, if my math is correct, that falls within the current presidential term," the statement continued.
