What Would Charlie Do?

"Never seen a more nakedly political and repulsive attempt in my life—then the vultures who circled a dead man, hoping to outright purchase his soul, as though it simply went up for auction." - Candace Owens

Turning point has turned since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, like a big sharp high speed reckless driving U-turn on the highway with oncoming traffic. I was a “Chase the Vote” employee for them in the 2024 election, so I’ve earned the right to weigh in after knocking doors in triple digit heat 6 days a week.

Charlie said, “One of my favorite members of Congress. He loves the Constitution, he loves liberty. He’s honest and he’s tough, and he’s really gonna go after the intel agencies. It’s Thomas Massie, who’s just terrific from Kentucky.” And Thomas Massie said “I am honored to hold the top spot among Kentucky’s US House delegation—both lifetime and in the 119th Congress—on the Turning Point Action scorecard. I will continue standing firm for fiscal responsibility and liberty.” and he did. Yet Turning Point Action refused to lift a finger to get out the vote for Massie when he was challenged by Israel backed former anti-Trump puppet Ed Gallrein who had actually left the Republican Party in May 2016 (shortly after Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee). Charlie would have had all hands on deck and boots on the ground for Massie but his creepy “grieving widow” turned her back and let Massie lose the seat over boomers who believed fake news, a fake AI generated TV commercial, and other false campaign propaganda.

And Turning Point is endorsing some unpalatable candidates, such as that creepy Don Huffines in Texas who bought Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, and former Democrat AIPAC candidate Byron Donalds in Florida. In Arizona, Andy Biggs and Kimberly Yee were endorsed early in the election cycle by Charlie, but the organization has thrown their support behind some real losers after Charlie’s murder, such as Dr. Ralf Heap, David Rose, and Elijah Norton.

And why are they still calling the podcast “The Charlie Kirk Show”? It’s so phony they should call it the Truman show instead. All they do is try and convince people that Charlie would support whatever their current agenda is, or say this or that if he were still alive, often in direct contraction to facts. Enough already.

Turning Point is not a benign get out the vote organization. While you donated in good faith they quietly transferred millions into their endowment fund, which grew from ~$1.8 million in 2017 to ~$69.7–$70 million by mid-2024 according to former intel agent “The Leah Files” on Substack. Does that have something to do with why Charlie wanted a DOGE style audit?

Their CTV employees posing as friends and neighbors are collecting all your personal data and entering it into a database, like private FBI profilers. Go to church regularly? Own animals? Have guns? Employees are paid to put everything they can learn about you in their “Streak” database. If you suspect someone is working for TPAction shut the door in their face and don’t talk to them, because without Charlie around I’m frightened at the thought of who might have access to that information and I deeply regret collecting it for them.

And love her or hate her, Candace Owens cares more about who really killed her best friend Charlie than his wife or his closest confidants. She’s doing the investigation the FBI should have done. “Charlie always used to say, “You better keep asking questions because it’s the only thing that keeps us free”. Now under Erika’s “leadership” asking questions has been replaced with “Stop. Just stop.”
