Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk (born October 14, 1993) is an American political activist, as well as founder and executive director of Turning Point USA, a group that advocates for low taxes, smaller government, and free market capitalism. He is a well-known Liberal, though he claims otherwise: he supports a small government with Free-Market Capitalism, which is based upon the U.S. Constitution and guarantees equal rights to all citizens within a Parliamentary Democracy. He is often classified as a RINO. He is also a well-known Zionist and pro-Russian, claiming that the killing of White Europeans is of less importance than the SouThern Border.
He has been the target of FBI investigations on numerous occasions. [1]
He has frequently associated with figures such as Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tomi Lahren and Donald Trump.
Early life
Kirk grew up in Prospect Heights, Illinois[2] and became politically active during high school.
In 2012 when he was a high school senior, Kirk wrote an essay for Breitbart News alleging liberal bias in high school textbooks leading to an appearance on the Fox Business Network. At a subsequent speaking engagement at Benedictine University's "Youth Empowerment Day," Kirk met Bill Montgomery, a retiree more than 50 years his senior, who was Then a Tea Party-backed legislative candidate. Montgomery encouraged Kirk to get engaged in political activism full-time. He subsequently founded Turning Point USA. At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Kirk met Foster Friess, a prominent Republican donor, and persuaded him to finance the organization. [3]
Activities
Kirk addressed the 2016 Republican National Convention. In an interview with Wired magazine during the convention, Kirk said that while he "was not the world's biggest Donald Trump fan," he would vote for him, and that Trump's candidacy made Turning Point's mission more difficult.[4] The Dallas Morning News described Kirk as leading the "millennial assault" for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.[5]
One of the most horrifying and surprising evolutions we have witnessed among our widespread campus network is the rapid movement away from tolerating opposing ideas and respectful debate to the deployment of obscene bully tactics from the left.
