Charlie Kirk abandons America First

‘I have loyalty to ideas,’ said Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, a network of young conservatives that has seen liftoff in the Trump era. ‘Of course I love the Grand Canyon. I love the Rocky Mountains. And I love Boston. And I love Chicago. But if all that disappeared, if all I had was ideas, and we were on an island, that’s America. That’s Israel.’ ‘And that’s what people have to realize,’ Kirk continued. ‘America’s just a placeholder for timeless ideas. And if you fall too in love with, oh, the specific place, and all this...that’s not what it is.’ For good measure, Kirk added: ‘Israel would be the exception. There is a holy connection to this land.’ You heard the man.

Turning Point USA plug anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on Twitter

‘Patriots in Action!’, Turning Point USA tweeted on Thursday, above a picture of their seven-strong student group at Fresno State University in California. The patriots are acting because last week a Fresno State professor named Daniel Cady interrupted their pro-Second Amendment campus protest by calling them ‘so, so pathetic’. ‘GOOGLE “Kalergi Plan”’ are the words on the giant beach ball held by one of Charlie Kirk’s magnificent seven, Nick Sciaroni. Kirk and TPUSA luminary Candace Owens are perhaps too busy palling around with the president to police their members’ behavior, but they might not want to associate their movement with the ‘Kalergi Plan’.

Turning Point USA is a campus activist group for old people

Exciting times at Turning Point USA, the Tea Party college activism group founded by Charlie Kirk (who never attended college). It emerged today that everyone’s favorite plagiarist Benny Johnson will be joining from the Daily Caller as Chief Creative Officer. Cockburn congratulates the (presumed) author of ‘Penis Pump Claims Becoming A Stiff Problem For Federal Government’, and wishes him well with his endeavors to draw in more college kids to the movement. Judging by how their Facebook advertising campaigns are going, he’ll have his work cut out for him. As a keen-eyed left-wing activist noticed on Twitter, despite TPUSA’s target audience being college students between the ages of 18-23, it’s that demographic that are seeing the least of their boosted posts.
