Prominent MAGA leaders are filling in for the slain Charlie Kirk on Turning Point USA's upcoming campus tour, the group announced Monday.
Why it matters: The announcement shows Turning Point USA will keep its youth-mobilization efforts going after Kirk's assassination.
Driving the news: Turning Point USA named more than a dozen guest hosts for its campus tour after Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University. The tour often produces viral clashes with liberal attendees.
- Monday: The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles is hosting the first event at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
- Wednesday: Megyn Kelly and Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) at Virginia Tech.
- Sept. 30: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Gov. Spencer Cox (R-Utah) at Utah State University
- Oct. 7: Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy at Montana State University
- Oct. 21: Tucker Carlson at Indiana University Bloomington
Zoom out: Turning Point USA did not immediately respond to questions about event security.
What they're saying: Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow and the new Turning Point USA CEO, and others have said his murder would serve as fuel for their activism.
- "His passion was my passion. And now his mission is my mission. Everything that Turning Point USA built through Charlie's vision and hard work, we will make ten times greater through the power of his memory," Erika Kirk said at a memorial service Sunday.
