    Kirk’s death has left Turning Point without its most influential and charismatic spokesman and his unrivaled ability to draw huge crowds on campuses across the U.S.

    Kirk was their best guy? Who is their second best guy, a bowl of pond algae? And it says huge crowds but I’ve never seen a video of Kirk talking to more than maybe 150 people at a college campus.

      It’s the thing where they aren’t actually counting or comparing numbers to actually popular creators.

      That said, I’m sure his events were more popular and attended than whatever social media hacks the Democrats were using.

      his purpose wasn’t to actually have crowds or convince anyone or any of that other shit, it was to create the image of youth outreach and then sell that image to old chuds

      And most of the people there were there to tell him he sucks and because on the off chance something awesome happened, they didn’t want to miss it proven-wrong-2

    That operation - backed by a $100 million effort

    lol, what a legendary and uniquely effective individual Charlie was! With only $100 million he was able to convince Americans to be even more racist and hateful in service of the oligarchs freedom-and-democracy

      Well, mostly he was just able to annoy college students and generate extra trash to sit on a table next to the biggest dorks alive while everyone else laughed at them.

      Never forget that for all he was an incredibly vile, evil little neo-nazi slug he was also a pathetic laughingstock grifter literally no one liked except hypothetically Candace Owens who might have had a toxic parasocial crush on her boss.
