Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012 to advocate for low taxes, Christianity, and hawkish foreign policy. But a decade later, he took a hard paleocon turn, explicitly opposing mass immigration, anti-white discrimination, and foreign interventions.
In this episode, I take a look at Charlie Kirk’s life, from his early years to his assassination at Utah Valley University one year ago. I discuss his impact, explain why and how his loss hurt the right, and examine how conservatives and liberals reacted to his death.
