Turning Point clashes with Palm Beach County on first night of annual conference

Night one of Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in Palm Beach, Florida, fell into disarray as employees with the nonprofit organization battled county officials over attendance capacity.

On Saturday, doors were to be opened at 5 p.m., however, attendees and some credentialed press were not allowed inside the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia Baker blamed the conservative organization for the matter, but Turning Point said they had a plan to let attendees safely in despite coronavirus restrictions on the center.
