Turning Point USA’s college tour will return to Logan, Utah on Tuesday for its first event since its founder, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated on a college campus earlier this month. The event will take place at Utah State University and is part of the organization's effort to maintain its influence after Kirk's tragic death.
Kirk was shot on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. His assassination has galvanized the conservative movement, with many pledging to continue his legacy of promoting conservative values among young voters. Following the assassination, interest in the organization has surged, with requests for new chapters increasing significantly.
The upcoming event was pre-scheduled and aims to showcase how Turning Point USA plans to navigate its future without its charismatic leader. In the wake of Kirk's death, figures such as Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck are now headlining the events.
Featuring speakers like podcast host Alex Clark and various members of Congress, the event underscores a commitment to Kirk’s vision. Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow, has assured supporters that the organization will continue to operate under the plans laid out by her late husband, stating, “We have our marching orders.”
The events in the wake of Kirk's assassination have focused on honoring his memory, with attendees encouraged to embody his spirit and leadership in the conservative movement. Prominent conservatives emphasize the importance of keeping Kirk's vision alive while reflecting on the challenges the movement may face without his guidance.
