    Charlie Kirk Gets Into Altercation at DNC (msn.com)

    Conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk found himself in a heated exchange mere moments after entering the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Monday, underscoring the deep political divisions that continue to roil American politics. Kirk, the 29-year-old founder and executive director of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization, was confronted by Parker Short, the viral president of the Young Democrats of Georgia, in a tense encounter that quickly went viral on social media.
    .............................................
    Turning Point USA, founded by Kirk in 2012, describes itself as the largest and fastest-growing conservative youth activist organization in the country. The group's stated mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.

    Recently, the group has come under fire from some conservatives who argue that it has strayed from its original mission of promoting conservative values on college campuses. Ben Rothove, a conservative fellow at the Washington Examiner, recently penned an op-ed criticizing Kirk and Turning Point USA, stating that the organization is "doing far more harm than good for the conservative movement" and calling for a purge of its "toxic leadership."

    Rothove's critique comes in the wake of Turning Point's recent "People's Convention" in Detroit, Michigan, which featured controversial speakers such as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and conservative commentators Jack Posobiec and Candace Owens. The event, which was headlined by former President Trump, drew criticism for its focus on middle-aged attendees rather than its purported youth demographic.

    He leaned hard into the grift. Became a caraciture of a MAGA talking head but they're too dumb to figure out he's using them to get rich.
