In 2005, Kiršteins was criticised by members of the Latvian Jewish community for his tacit support of a controversial exhibition "Herberts Cukurs: The Presumption of Innocence". For his response, in which Kiršteins hinted at the Latvian Jewish community's collaboration with the "state's enemies" during the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, he was expelled from People's Party.^{[2][3][page needed]}

In 2022, State Police launched an investigation into Kiršteins for referring to the Latvian Television journalist Anete Bērtule [lv] as a "political prostitute".^[4]
