Young conservatives should steer clear of Turning Point USA

Conservative youth organization Turning Point USA made headlines this week when President Trump spoke at the group’s “Teen Student Action Summit.” TPUSA Founder and President Charlie Kirk was thrilled by the president’s speech, bragging that a few teenagers “slept outside the door” to hear Trump’s remarks.

TPUSA is initially attractive to many young people due to the organization’s savvy marketing using memes, posters, and catchy slogans such as “socialism sucks.” And at first glance, this may seem like a good thing for the conservative movement.
