Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration is revoking and denying visas to foreigners who celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Rubio made the announcement on Monday. He shared a clip on X of an interview he did with Fox News in which he said the State Department has already begun revoking visas.
“We are not in the business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive behavior, okay? So, if we invite someone to visit the United States of America as a student, as a tourist, as whatever, then … the standard they should be held to is very high,” said Rubio.
“We should not be giving visas to people who are going to come to the United States and do things like celebrate the murder, the execution, the assassination of a political figure. We should not. And if they&#8217;re already here, we should be revoking their visa,” he continued.

The Secretary of State expanded on his comments the next day while speaking to reporters.
“There&#8217;s no shortage of idiots around the world that’ve decided it&#8217;s a great idea to murder someone. We don’t want people like that in our country. By the way, it&#8217;s bad that we have people that are U.S. citizens that feel that way,” <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1968053223081857050">said</a> Rubio. “But you&#8217;re a foreigner? Why would we want to allow into the United States someone who&#8217;s in favor of murder? We don&#8217;t want pro-murder people in America.”
A gunman fatally shot Kirk at a Turning Point USA event last week in Utah. Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist and founder of TPUSA, had been hosting one of his open debates on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Rubio’s State Department has taken an aggressive approach to reviewing and revoking visas for foreigners engaged in anti-American activity. Examples include foreigners who have expressed support for terror groups or who have close <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-promises-to-aggesively-target-students-tied-to-chinese-communist-party">ties</a> to the Chinese Communist Party.

Politics

Turning Point USA

I started following Charlie Kirk the moment he stepped on the stage of American politics. I watched him mature in his role as founder of Turning Point USA, and I distinctly remember admiring him for shifting its mission with the realization that the battle for America was not just a political battle, but a spiritual one as well. I was so enamored that I used to imagine being on Charlie’s show — but who was I?
And then it happened. God gave me a chance to be courageous. As a teacher in Loudoun County Public Schools, Virginia, one of the most controversial school districts in the country, I realized God’s truth was more important than my job security, and I took a stand. Alliance Defending Freedom represented me in a <a href="https://adflegal.org/case/cross-v-loudoun-county-school-board/?utm_source=dailywire&amp;utm_medium=oped">lawsuit</a> against LCPS’s transgender policy. We sued to protect free speech and religious freedom, and to advocate for the truth of God’s design.
Charlie Kirk was the first major media personality to invite us to share our story.
Charlie used his platform to take someone considered a “nobody” and elevate her. That is the kind of man he was. He looked to elevate others rather than himself. I have no doubt that, though I was represented by a prestigious legal organization, it was talking with Charlie on his show that made my witness visible and opened other opportunities for me to see God’s goodness in the midst of spiritual battle.
I’m a high school government teacher. I knew, even as I cried over the loss of Charlie and grieved for his wife and children, that I had many students who loved him. I needed the courage to go into school and talk with my classes about this tragic moment for our nation.
Here is what I said to all of my classes:
<blockquote>“One of Charlie Kirk’s repeated themes was how important it is to talk to one another. He often said when people stop talking, that’s when bad things happen. In a marriage, when people stop talking, divorce follows. In society, when people stop talking, that’s when violence happens. One of Charlie’s missions was to train a generation—your generation—how to do politics the right way, how to engage in honest, respectful civil discourse, especially with those whom you disagree.
“One of the things we’ll be learning in studying the Constitution is that there are two ways to govern people: by talking or by force. Democracies govern by talking. That means engaging respectfully with each other, arguing to persuade one another, discussing, negotiating, compromising, and deciding together how to move forward knowing not everyone is going to agree on everything but figuring out how to live together well even in our differences.
“Over the last few days we’ve learned about healthy and unhealthy civil society. The assassination of Charlie Kirk is the epitome of unhealthy civil society. Charlie believed in faith, family, and freedom. Because he was so confident in what he believed and spoke boldly about it, he was silenced…. Again, there are only two ways of governing people: by talking or by force. If we stop talking, there is only one other option.”</blockquote>
In 30 years, I’ve taught four generations of youth. In many ways, the kids of each generation have been the same — trying to grow up, find their identity, and navigate teenage angst. But over the last two years, I’ve noticed a shift.
For almost a decade, when it was time to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, almost no students recited it. Some even refused to stand. Now everyone stands and recites the pledge. I’ve noticed a hunger for truth and a desire for more than slogans.
Now, more students courageously express their faith in school. It’s not every kid, but it is enough to inspire hope, and I believe that Charlie Kirk’s mission is part of the reason for it. His movement has had a ripple effect, even on the kids who have not necessarily followed him. His footprint is that big.
Charlie Kirk was hated because he was confident in what he believed, gifted at persuading others, and a man of integrity. Proverbs 29:10 says, “The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.” Jesus told his followers that “the world hates me, and they will hate you because of me.” Goodness evokes one of two reactions from people: hostility or attraction. Those who are attracted want to embrace and merge with that goodness. Those who are hostile to goodness see it as a threat. Simply living right and being a person of integrity will invite hostility.
To our youth: You have a choice. Now is the moment for courage, the time to decide to do what is right, even knowing that it may cost you greatly. My prayer is that this generation, inspired by Charlie Kirk, will stiffen their spines and stand to fight for the same virtues that he stood for so that we may win back the soul of America.

Within days of the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning POINT USA founder Charlie Kirk, the campus organization received more than 32,000 requests for new chapters around the United States.
Andrew Kolvet, producer of &#8220;The Charlie Kirk Show,&#8221; shared the news in a post on X, saying, &#8220;I wanted to share a praise report from TPUSA. The organization has received over 32,000 inquiries in the last 48-hours to start new campus chapters. To put that in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 official college chapters and around 1,200 high school chapters, with a presence on 3,500 total. Charlie&#8217;s vision to have a Club America chapter (our high school brand) in every high school in America (around 23,000) will come true much much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined. Truly incredible.&#8221;

‘The Turning Point’: Requests For Turning Point USA Chapters Soar After Charlie Kirk Assassination

assassination

Media

Words will never be able to convey how devastated we are that Charlie Kirk was taken from us far too soon.
I had the honor and privilege of not just knowing Charlie professionally as a fellow warrior in the conservative movement, but as a close friend and my most influential mentor for the past eight years.
All of you know Charlie for what you saw on social media and television — a fierce fighter with strong convictions who deeply loved our country and fearlessly advocated for his vision for a stronger future. I spent a lot of time with this Charlie — speaking on college campuses and facing the crowds of protesters with a smile on our faces, staying up into all hours of the night live-streaming election coverage, and breaking the news of the day on The Charlie Kirk Show.
What most of you never saw, what God blessed me with the opportunity to witness, was the Charlie who lived off-screen. The young man who lived for a Chicago Cubs game and watched them in green rooms before speeches all over the country. The person who recorded silly videos with my siblings at the endless political conferences we attended over the years. The guy who would spar with me over TikTok’s necessity to save the country as I pleaded with him to finally make an account (and thank God he did). The friend who personally wrote my recommendation letter for my job application for a position at the White House. The husband who inspired me to get serious about the type of man I wanted to marry. The father who’d sing with his beautiful wife and children on FaceTime while traveling away from home, promising that daddy would be home soon. The enthusiastic big-brother-figure who spent an hour ignoring his fans at Mar-a-Lago while dressed to the nines to rattle off parenting advice to my husband and me as we joyfully shared the news of our pregnancy last winter. The servant leader who sought wisdom from God above all else, and deeply yearned for the closest relationship to Christ he could foster.
Today, we are all shocked, devastated, angry, and deeply filled with sorrow — but I unexpectedly also find a glimmer of joy after spending the day with Charlie last week, sharing the stage at a church in central California.
We’d been briefed a few days before that there’d be some protesters outside, so extra security was called in, and we laughed about how this felt like old times when I was a student at Colorado State and he came to campus, making quite a buzz in the process. We dined with the organizers of the event, and Charlie graciously gestured for me to join him in a Q&amp;A with a smaller group of donors before the main speeches, who, fascinatingly, above all else, had questions about the true battle of good and evil waging in our time and the role people of faith must take to continue spreading the light of the gospel.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/thank-you-charlie-kirk?elementPosition=1&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Isabel Brown Show</a></h3>
We get these questions a lot, but something felt different about this event. Charlie (as always) spoke with such powerful moral clarity, but I found myself locked in on every word he said as if I was hearing it for the first time. He radiated wisdom from the Holy Spirit in a way that I had never witnessed, publicly or privately, and it was inspiring to behold.
Moments later, we were whisked into separate green rooms before the actual event began on stage with a crowd of about 2,500 people. I poked my head in to wave to Charlie and his team, and he immediately waved me over to sit down and hang out for about an hour before we delivered our speeches.
Normally, we’d talk about politics and what’s happening in the media, but Charlie only wanted to talk about God and the Church. For about an hour, we jovially debated on matters of theology and spoke about, of all things, heaven. Again, I was so touched by his zeal for his faith that was always pervasive in his life, but seemed especially ignited on this particular day.
I left to give my speech, and Charlie said, “Turn the volume up on that monitor! I want to hear the great Isabel speak!!” To which I giggled, and he told me to break a leg.
After I spoke for about 20 minutes, Charlie took the stage, and again captivated the audience in a way I’ve perhaps never seen. He spoke not just about the importance of fighting for our country, but for humanity to once and for all defeat evil. For us to show up and fight in the spiritual warfare we don’t see with our own two eyes, but is waging on constantly all around us. For several minutes, he spoke to our calling from Christ to be “Salt and Light:” a calling misunderstood by many, but boils down to one action — to transform its surroundings.
He pleaded with the audience, humbly and earnestly, that none of us can be in this fight alone. Nor can we expect someone else to do the fighting for us. Instead, we have to show up, on offense, ready to transform culture and society to be rooted in what is good and true and beautiful. We have to be salt and light.
You could hear a pin drop in the room, and the thunderous applause after he was done speaking was deafening.
To me, Charlie Kirk will always be the perfect embodiment of salt and light. Charlie always remembered his friends — not just when it was convenient for him, but he constantly went out of his way to serve others in the small ways you’ll never hear about in the media. He was a fierce friend and a trusted confidant to all who knew him, humbly putting others before himself whenever he could. But he was also a shining beacon. He inspired a nation and an entire generation to seek and speak the truth, consequences be damned. He knew it was his vocation to inspire others with hope to keep fighting for goodness and for God in a society demanding we sit down and shut up and lose that hope.
He transformed the world. And we will never be the same without him.
It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe everything to Charlie. I owe my career to him, I owe my family to him — it was because of Charlie I met my husband at a TPUSA conference, and my daughter wouldn’t exist otherwise. And, in many ways, I owe my faith to him as I sat in a front row seat, marveling at this extraordinary young man’s quest for the Truth of God day in and day out for nearly a decade of my life.
Thinking back to last week, I am so moved by the fact that Charlie spent so much of his quiet free time in the green room with me, talking about faith and heaven. As people of faith, we know that death is a devastating loss, especially when someone so pure was robbed of life so violently and prematurely. But I rejoice in prayer today, even through tears, knowing that today Charlie is more alive than we are in the fullness of eternal life with his Savior and his anchor in heaven. My heart today is with his beautiful wife and children, and I ask that you pray for them earnestly.
Our hearts are shattered, but we promise to keep showing up tomorrow to be salt and light. We love you, Charlie. Pray for us while we wait and yearn to join you in eternal life.

Obituaries

The last time I saw my friend Charlie Kirk in person was when I appeared with him on stage at the TPUSA pastor’s summit back in the spring. I spoke with him backstage beforehand and told him, as I had several times before, that I was incredibly impressed by this institution and movement that he built. But he wasn&#8217;t interested in listening to me compliment him. He deflected, as always, and started asking me about myself and saying nice and encouraging things. 
A few months before that, in the wake of Trump’s victory, Charlie made a point of posting something to X to give me credit for helping Trump win. It was one of the very few times that I&#8217;ve disagreed with something Charlie said. The truth is that he was the primary reason why Trump won. It was his organizing and advocacy and activism and mobilization that helped to turn the tide. And yet he wanted to give the credit to other people, even people who didn’t deserve it. That&#8217;s the kind of guy that Charlie was. A rare type in the world today. Even rarer in this business. It may seem like a small thing. But Charlie’s desire to give other people credit, to point to and praise and lift up other people rather than himself, is one of the most profound testaments to his character.
Charlie was truly a great man. Great in personal virtue. Great in achievement. Great in his talents. He was a builder, an organizer, and a fighter — a rare combination. In this movement, you have a bunch of big personalities who can inform, entertain, and hold your attention on stage or in front of a camera. And then you have the organizers who know how to orchestrate and build, harness those personalities and point them in the right direction. Charlie was the only guy I ever knew who was truly great in both areas. He was a one of a kind talent. Everyone who knew him — and so many who did not know him personally — could tell that he was destined to be the President of the United States one day. I would have been proud to vote for him. Tens of millions of Americans felt the same way.
Charlie was brave. He would go anywhere and talk to anyone. He would debate anyone in any environment. He trusted in his own vast rhetorical skill, and in the rightness of his ideas. Most of all, as a man of deep faith, he trusted in the Lord. I don&#8217;t know if he had Isaiah 41:10 written as a mantra in his house somewhere, but it certainly seemed to be written on his heart. “Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” He knew that the Lord was with him, protecting him, guiding his thoughts and his words. Which is really the only way to explain Charlie&#8217;s nearly supernatural ability to win every debate he ever had with anyone. God had called him to this moment, and blessed him as he rose to it, again and again.

Charlie was a patriot. He loved America. He fought for her every day. And he died for her. His central ambition was not for his own personal advancement but for the well-being and flourishing of this country. For Charlie, Make America Great Again was not a slogan on a hat. It was his mission, his great project. He did more to complete that mission than you could ever expect one man to do. Most importantly of all, of course, Charlie was a husband and a father. He loved his family dearly. You didn&#8217;t have to know him or ever meet him in person to know that about him. It came across in everything he said and did. This was a man who cherished his family. And would have died to make a better world for them. And did.
Now he’s gone. We have seen him die right in front of our eyes, on stage. He died while trying to have a free and civil debate, which is all he ever did. He didn&#8217;t insult. He didn’t defame. He didn’t shout anyone down. He invited everyone to come and speak to him, to prove him wrong. And for that, they killed him. I have to tell you that, as a fellow conservative in the public eye, I always worried that it would come to this. That eventually they would start killing us. But I never thought it would be Charlie. He was the nicest, most generous and charitable of us. Far less inflammatory than plenty of other people in this space, myself included. And they killed him in spite of that. Or not in spite, but because of that. He was too effective. Too widely beloved, especially among the younger generations. So they killed him.
I can only be honest with you in this moment and tell you that I am sad, I am heartbroken, and I am full of rage. If you want a kumbaya message of unity and togetherness, you will not get it from me. Over the past 24 hours, I have seen some in the media — some of the very same people who intentionally stoked murderous hatred against people like Charlie Kirk — now saying that we need to &#8220;turn the temperature down&#8221; and “start having conversations.” Well, Charlie tried to have conversations with you on the Left. And you killed him for it. You’re killing us in our churches. You tried to kill our president. You killed one of our greatest advocates in Charlie Kirk. You have been openly cheering for and celebrating and encouraging and committing political violence for years. Antifa. BLM. Well-funded, highly orchestrated, widespread movements based in and fueled by violence. You made a hero out of Luigi Mangione. And you celebrate Charlie’s death even now. It is too late to turn the temperature down. This is not a time to hold hands. It&#8217;s a time for justice. It&#8217;s a time for good to fight back against evil. It is a time for the righteous to prevail. For the sake of our country. For our children. For Charlie.
Many of you have seen all of the myriad posts and videos from leftist demons celebrating Charlie&#8217;s death. I know we want to tell ourselves that these are fringe voices, but they aren&#8217;t. There is a very large group of people out there who want us dead. Even in Congress, they tried to have a moment of silence after Charlie&#8217;s passing, but Democrats jeered and heckled. This is who they are. Not on the fringes, but in the main. They could not possibly make themselves any clearer about it. 
But I do want to say this. When I see these rodents gloating now over the death of my friend, I am, of course, disgusted by it. Yet also, I truly see it as a powerful tribute to Charlie’s life and work. Charlie had many friends who loved him dearly. Many fans who adored and admired him. That is, without a doubt, the greatest testament to the sort of man he was. But as a true culture warrior, it must be said that the evil gloating of his enemies is an accolade in its own right. May we all be so successful and productive that our enemies celebrate when we die. May we all be so devastating to the Leftist project that they long for our demise. May we all fight so hard and so effectively that they have no choice but to try to kill us. May our lives be a problem for these people, and our deaths a relief. Let them dance on my grave, as they dance on Charlie&#8217;s. Then I will know that I did my duty. Our opponent should be happy when we leave the ring. If they aren&#8217;t, then we didn&#8217;t punch hard enough.
Charlie punched harder than anyone. He did it with a smile. He did it through speech and debate. But he was a devastating fighter all the same. And his opponents are overjoyed because they think they’ve gotten rid of him. But they&#8217;re wrong. They’ve gravely misjudged the situation. The only thing more powerful than a living fighter is a martyred one. In life, Charlie motivated and rallied us to put on the armor of God and fight for what we believe in. In death, he motivates and rallies us all the more. I want to be very clear that we will not back down after this. We will not shrink away or go into hiding. We will not fall silent. We will not walk in fear. We will stand taller and prouder than we ever have, and be louder and bolder than we&#8217;ve ever been, and fight harder than we’ve ever fought. They think they can kill the movement by killing us. But in the entire history of the world, that strategy has never worked. And it won&#8217;t work now. I promise you that.
You can kill a man. You can shoot him in the neck on stage. You can spill his blood for the whole world to see. But you cannot kill a cause. Especially when that cause is nothing else but love of God, love of country, love of family. That cause is truth. You can&#8217;t kill the truth. No matter how many of us you shoot. You cannot kill it. 
Many of us — conservatives on the public stage — have seen the death threats and death wishes over the last several hours. Leftists across social media are making their wishlist of who they’d like to see assassinated next. I’m often on the list. Ben is on it. Many other names. I do think the chances of a copycat event are very high. And that is why I feel it&#8217;s important for me to say that I will not back down. I am not going to hide. None of us will. If we back down, then the demons who killed Charlie will win. And they cannot win. They will not win.
A day before his death, Charlie posted a picture of Iryna, the young woman who was killed on the light rail in Charlotte, and added a short caption. “America will never be the same,” he wrote. Amen, my friend. You had no idea how right you were. America will never be the same. It will be better. Thanks in large part to your work, your legacy, and your example, America will ultimately be better. But there is a lot more to be done in the meantime. The fight continues. You finished your race, Charlie. You fought the good fight. You kept the faith. Now we will take it from here. And we won&#8217;t give up until the work is done. You can rest in peace, knowing that. Godspeed.

The New York Yankees took a moment to honor conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday, just hours after he was shot and killed at a campus event at Utah Valley University.
Despite the fact that New York City is a deep blue city in a solidly blue state, baseball fans were given the opportunity to come together, however briefly, and recognize Kirk&#8217;s contributions to political discourse over the last decade.
&#8220;Before tonight&#8217;s game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk,&#8221; the team posted on X, sharing a photo of the jumbotron with Kirk&#8217;s picture posted there. &#8220;Kirk founded the youth activist group &#8216;Turning Point USA&#8217; and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.&#8221;

&#8220;This is a beautiful gesture and is how you unify the country against these acts of evil. The fact that far-left psychos will complain about it is exactly why it’s necessary — it needs to be emphatically clear that political assassinations will only backfire,&#8221; Peter Hasson added.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke on stage in Phoenix with President-elect Donald Trump at AmericaFest on Sunday where he outlined what Republicans are going to do the moment they take power in January.
Cruz said that the American people have given Trump a mandate to implement his agenda, which he said was solidified by the fact that Trump won all seven swing states in addition to Republicans winning control of both the House and Senate.
&#8220;This election has given President Donald J. Trump a Republican Senate and a Republican House – a clear mandate to deliver on our promises,&#8221; Cruz began.
&#8220;One month from today, President Trump will secure the border,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We are going to bring back jobs. We are going to lower prices. We are going to protect American families. We are going to put criminals in jail. We are going to keep our kids safe. We are going to end foreign wars with victory.&#8221;
Cruz added that one of the most consequential things that happened during the election was that he and Trump dominated in their races in Texas, a state that Democrats have been trying to turn blue for decades.
&#8220;You and I won a majority of Hispanic votes in the great state of Texas. That is unprecedented,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is generational change, and it demonstrates that we are going to protect our nation, we are going to bring our country back, and we are going to make America great again.&#8221;
Trump said that Cruz faced a tough race as Democrats spent $250 million to try to take him out.
&#8220;Texas was very special, and it will remain very special,&#8221; Trump said.

The United States is entering a new “golden age,” Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro said on Thursday.
Shapiro took the stage at Turning Point USA’s America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona, on Thursday night and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmSGHQha5yk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> to hundreds of cheering supporters that “the golden age of America is just beginning.”
“If you’ve watched my show, I’m usually in a bad mood,” Shapiro said, before adding that he’s in a “pretty … good mood right now” because of Trump’s election victory and what that means for the future of the United States.
Shapiro credited Trump at the start of the speech; according to Shapiro, Trump is ushering in the “golden age” propelled by the support of the American people.
“This is all happening because President Trump is a force, is a historic force, is the historic force of our age,” Shapiro said. “He was the man standing between the United States and stagnation and surrender, and President Trump stood. And he was indicted, and he stood. And he was shot, and he stood. And America stood with him.”

The Daily Wire editor emeritus distilled Trump’s governing philosophy down to one word: “success.” The desire for Trump to win in the government – through sound economic policy, strong foreign policy, shrewd negotiations, etc. – will lead the president-elect to historic success in his second term, according to Shapiro.
Shapiro finished his speech crediting, not just Trump, but the American people for working to make “the country great again.”

“The future of the country is not just President Trump. The future of the country is in this room. It’s on both sides of me. It’s these young people here, it’s the people in the audience who are building the businesses and creating the educational institutions that are building the social fabric of the country,” Shapiro said.
“The future of the country is beginning right now, and one hundred years from now, people are going to look back onto this inflection point in American history and they are going to say, ‘Wow, President Trump was right, not just about his own candidacy, but about the American people,’” he continued. “The American people, we kick a**. We are so great, and we are making the country great again.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/turning-point-usa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Turning Point USA’s BLEXIT</a> was forced to secure a new location for their Liberation Tour event after their original venue, the Music Hall of Williamsburg, canceled the rental agreement, citing “hate speech and “homophobia.”
The Music Hall of Williamsburg canceled the rental contract just days before the event — featuring Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, and other speakers — was set to take place.
The venue condemned BLEXIT in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CteRSmeO6sd/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=3308fd83-fcc8-4874-98a2-9eac9600d144" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, remarking “It has become abundantly clear to us that in actuality this organization provides a platform for hate speech and homophobia, which The Bowery Presents will not tolerate, and we have canceled their rental contract.”
“This event will not take place in our venue,” the statement concluded.
BLEXIT shot back in a statement of its own, asserting, “The Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York has caved to the woke mob and disallowed BLEXIT and Turning Point USA to use their venue for an upcoming ‘Liberation Tour’ event this Saturday.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Publicly, they claim their decision is about making a stand against ‘hate speech.’ They are liars,” the statement contends before going on to say, “Privately the venue claimed their staff were getting doxxed, that protests were planned, and that they feared for their safety.” The statement added, “this is disgraceful, cowardly behavior.”
Turning Point USA Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk <a href="https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1669832070632468480?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clarified</a>, “Our event will go on AS PLANNED at a new venue.

&#8220;I&#8217;m shocked that the Music Hall of Williamsburg, despite claiming to value diverse voices, would cancel a group primarily composed of Black Americans, simply because we have differing perspectives on how Black people should think,” Director of BLEXIT Pierre Wilson remarked in a statement.
He went on to say, “Cancelling this event is the real example of hate and intolerance. We welcome all people at BLEXIT. This action represents a troubling example of cancel culture at its worst.”

Root was <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-wokeness-is-destroying-america-w-jon-root-tickets-584351409797" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> to deliver a talk entitled “How Wokeness Is Destroying America” on Wednesday. According to the Eventbrite page, the lecture was meant to highlight how “the religion of wokeness has ruined sports, culture, and the church.” Root and Gaines oppose males who self-identify as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender</a> from participating in women’s sports leagues, noting the physical harm and competitive disadvantages such policies inflict on female athletes.
Two days before the event was slated to begin, San Francisco State revoked the room booked for the event. A spokesperson for the school informed Turning Point USA that accommodations would be made if the event occurred virtually, warning the chapter’s president in an email that the event should be understood to be unapproved by the administration if the students appear on the public university&#8217;s campus and attempt to host the discussion.
“This event, on the back of Riley Gaines’ assault at the hands of radical, trans activists at San Francisco State, is about standing against censorship of free speech, being a voice for the brave TPUSA students on this intolerant, liberal campus who are being bullied by the administration, and most importantly, this is about sharing the truth without fear,” Root said in a <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/after-riley-gaines-incident-sfsu-revokes-approval-for-tpusa-event-featuring-jon-root" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “This has the ability to make waves across the country — to show that San Francisco State and other radical leftist campuses can’t silence conservatives.”
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk recently <a href="https://twitter.com/JonnyRoot_/status/1646742854319095808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1646742854319095808%7Ctwgr%5E328a01d2676118a2e64a73848f66b43d5a760a10%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tpusa.com%2Flive%2Fafter-riley-gaines-incident-sfsu-revokes-approval-for-tpusa-event-featuring-jon-root" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that the student organization would pursue legal action against San Francisco State if administrators attempted to nix the event with Root. “You’d better not cancel the event, because you guys are bound by the First Amendment, and you’d better believe we have great lawyers who would love to file a lawsuit,” he remarked.
Gaines was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/swim-champ-riley-gaines-attacked-by-radical-trans-mob-forced-to-barricade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attacked</a> earlier this month by a mob of San Francisco State students who opposed her stance on prohibiting men from competing in women’s sports. Administrators issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-this-just-say-peaceful-riley-gaines-unloads-on-san-francisco-states-response-to-assault" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> claiming that the student demonstrators “peacefully” expressed their views, even though police barricaded Gaines in a room for several hours as students debated whether she should be allowed to leave campus. Gaines reported on social media that she was “ambushed and physically hit twice by a man” as she attempted to leave after her speech.

The former elite collegiate swimmer, who tied for fifth place with self-identified transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at the NCAA Championship last year, <a href="https://twitter.com/riley_gaines_/status/1648168289116332033?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the last-minute cancellation of Root’s venue. “So much for being a place that welcomes diversity,” she said.
Free expression at American colleges has been threatened in recent years as faculties become increasingly Left-of-center, producing environments in which conservative academics and students report pressure to self-censor and experience overt instances of censorship.

Two people were arrested and one police officer was injured Tuesday night after a mix of protesters and black-clad rioters clashed with authorities and damaged property at the University of California, Davis, in protest of a Turning Point USA event featuring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/charlie-kirk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlie Kirk</a>.
Kirk, who founded the nationwide conservative organization of 250,000 student members, spoke to approximately 500 attendees at the left-leaning university about American values.
However, before the audience could access the venue, about 100 protesters and some rioters blocked the main entrance and pathway, UC Davis officials said.
&#8220;Outside the UCUC, about 100 protesters gathered and for brief times blocked the main event entrance and the pathway to the entrance,&#8221; the school told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/elon-musk-respond-protesters-smash-windows-hurl-eggs-charlie-kirk-event-college-campus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>. &#8220;One officer sustained an injury when he was jumped on from behind and pushed to the ground, and two people were arrested and taken to Yolo County Jail for allegedly painting graffiti on an exterior wall of the University Credit Union Center, or UCUC, where the event was held.&#8221;
Videos posted to social media show some rioters kicking in glass windows at the venue, while other <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11862789/Elon-Musk-slams-Antifa-goons-violent-protest-Charlie-Kirk-invited-talk-UC-Davis.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> show the group throwing eggs and other objects. Officials also noted that crowd members were pepper spraying attendees trying to enter the building.

Kirk later referred to the rioters, who reportedly broke ten glass window panes, as &#8220;terrorists&#8221; to the audience.
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to put up with force of trying to shut down people you don&#8217;t like &#8230; and tonight is a statement to them that they&#8217;re the losers,&#8221; Kirk said.

UC Davis officials told Fox News that the unidentified person taken into custody by authorities was not affiliated with the university.
Most agitators held signs supporting the “LGBTQIA2S+” community, covering their identity with umbrellas.
UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May shared a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz3k-FnPpJM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> on YouTube in which he referred to the Turning Point USA founder as &#8220;a well-documented proponent of misinformation and hate and who has advocated for violence against transgender individuals.&#8221;
May said that while he &#8220;abhors the inflammatory speech&#8221; of Kirk, the university did not invite or sponsor him to speak on the campus.
He said the university abides by the policy that allows registered student organizations, such as Turning Point USA, to reserve campus facilities to host speakers of their choice, &#8220;even if the speaker&#8217;s intended speech is loathsome and hurtful to me and to others in our campus community.&#8221;
&#8220;As a campus that is committed to our principles of community,&#8221; May said. “UC Davis stands with our transgender and non-binary Aggies in opposition to the hateful and divisive messaging.&#8221;
The rhetoric from the university&#8217;s chancellor echoed similar sentiments from an op-ed with the California-based news outlet Sacramento Bee, which called for UC Davis to cancel the event and falsely accused Kirk of advocating for the &#8220;lynching&#8221; of transgender-identifying people.
&#8220;Charlie Kirk has called for the lynching of trans people, a comment that should warrant the cancelation of his speaking engagement at UC Davis,&#8221; the outlet said in a since-deleted tweet.
Kirk denied the inflammatory headline and article and threatened to sue the outlet, which removed the article from its site and reposted it, referring to Kirk as a &#8220;far-right&#8221; leader.
&#8220;Sacbee reporter has deleted previous tweet parroting the ‘lynching trans’ lie,&#8221; Kirk said in a tweet. &#8220;I hope no one was hurt over a complete fabrication of something I NEVER said but was nevertheless originally spread by a trans activist and liar.&#8221;

Event management platform Eventbrite has removed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/turning-point-usa">Turning Point USA</a> screening of Matt Walsh’s documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/collections/what-is-a-woman">What Is a Woman?</a>” for allegedly promoting “hate,” event organizers say.
Field representative Maggie Fuchs shared a screenshot on her Twitter of the email detailing why Eventbrite removed the event. The screening is scheduled for Tuesday, September 13, at the West Kentucky University campus. The Turning Point WKU Twitter page <a href="https://twitter.com/wku_tpusa/status/1567567780207120385">confirms</a> the screening will still happen despite Eventbrite not allowing them to promote it on their platform.

An email from the company said, “We encourage our organizers to express their views and gather for a chosen purpose as long as it’s done in a way that doesn’t violate our Legal Terms. We do not permit events, content, or creators that promote or encourage hate, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself.”
The notice of removal went on to say that the event “expresses views that are in violation” of the company’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Next, the platform Trust and Safety Team advised that the event would be removed.
The <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/l/community-guidelines/">Community Guidelines</a> for Eventbrite further promise that they are “committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful platform for the organization and discovery of live events.” Specifically prohibited content includes “Hateful or Dangerous Content or Events That Discriminate Against or Threaten Any Societal Group, or Encourages Violence.”
This section specifies content cannot be, “Hate speech, hateful ideologies, and hateful activities that incite, encourage or engage in violence, intimidation, disparagement, harassment, or threats targeting an individual or group based on their actual or perceived race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, immigration status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or veteran status.”
Eventbrite did not immediately return The Daily Wire’s request for comment about the specific reason why the event was removed.
The “What Is a Woman?” screening is not the first event to get removed from Eventbrite for violating their community guidelines. In July, Eventbrite <a href="https://www.ticketnews.com/2022/07/eventbrite-face-gop-ire-over-deplatforming-dsouza-event/">canceled payments</a> for an event featuring “2,000 Mules” creator Dinesh D’Souza, including a film screening, because it was promoting “potentially harmful misinformation.”
The movie seeks to prove fraud in the 2020 election.
Louisiana GOP Chairman Louis Gurvich said he believed Eventbrite’s actions were politically motivated, and that they canceled the event at the last minute as a form of sabotage.
“I have to feel like there’s a malicious intent here,” Gurvich said at the time. “We’re not going to recover all the fees. We may recover most, but we’re not going to recover the time and effort it’s going to take to recover the donations … that had already been given to us and then were basically taken away.”
