>Who is Charlie Kirk?
Charles (Charlie) James Kirk is a well-known American conservative activist, publicist, and media personality. He was born in 1993 in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois.
In 2012, Kirk co-founded the organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA), which has since become the largest conservative student movement in the US, represented on thousands of campuses and boasting millions of followers on social media.
He also leads TPUSA’s subsidiary branches — Turning Point Action (TPAction), Turning Point Academy, and Turning Point Faith — and hosts the popular radio show The Charlie Kirk Show.
Over the years, Kirk has transformed TPUSA into a powerful conservative platform. He has frequently appeared on Fox News and other conservative outlets, positioning himself as a critic of the Republican Party when it ignores its supporters.
At the same time, Kirk has faced accusations of spreading conspiracy theories, clashing with the Republican National Committee, and generating income through questionable TPUSA funding.
