Turning Point USA will continue with its campus tours, despite losing its masthead, Charlie Kirk, in a horrific assassination less than two weeks ago.
Just one day after a faith-filled memorial service honoring his legacy in Arizona, Charlie Kirk’s campus tour vision will kick it into high gear, as multiple conservative figures will fill the gap left by Mr. Kirk and ensure that the message of Turning Point lives on.
This development comes just a little over one week after Erika Kirk, Mr. Kirk’s widow, announced that the campus tour would continue this fall.
Now, Americans have a better idea of what to expect.
Speakers included in the lineup so far:
- Erika Kirk
- Tucker Carlson
- Megyn Kelly
- Glenn Beck
- Michael Knowles
- Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah,
- Vivek Ramaswamy
- Frank Turek
- Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R-Va.,
- Gov. Spencer J. Cox, R-Utah,
- Gov. Jeff Landry, R-La.,
- Gov. Greg Gianforte, R-Mon.,
- Rob Schneider
- Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.,
- Alex Clark
- Jason Chaffetz (former congressman)
- Allie Beth Stuckey
- Savannah Chrisley
A tour event is scheduled for Monday evening (Sept. 22) at the Carlson Family Stage at the University of Minnesota, according to Turning Point USA’s website. Monday’s speaker is Michael Knowles, an American commentator and author.
The next leg of the tour after that is scheduled to take place at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, on September 24. This event will feature journalist and podcast host Megyn Kelly and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
From TPUSA:
“Each stop is a chance to honor Charlie’s mission and keep the fight alive. We know he wouldn’t want us to surrender or be coerced into silence. Free speech is only free if we use our voices. Join us, and let’s fight to save America and honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk!”
More speakers are expected to be announced for several locations, including for tour stops at the University of Oklahoma and Auburn University.
