Introduction: A Personal Farewell to Turning Point USA

This letter marks my decision to leave Turning Point USA, written seven months after the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th, 2025. It reflects my personal journey through grief, confusion, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Charlie Kirk inspired me not just through politics but through his faith and courage. However, the aftermath of his death revealed troubling realities within TPUSA and the broader conservative movement that I can no longer support.

The Dark Day That Changed Everything

Charlie Kirk’s assassination on a college campus was a devastating event that shook me and many others deeply. His boldness rooted in faith gave me confidence to speak out, but the reaction to his death exposed a darker side of society. Death threats, harassment, and even celebration of his murder by some students and faculty showed me how much evil exists. The memorial funeral in Glendale was a powerful moment, but it also highlighted the divisions and pain that followed.

Questioning the Official Narrative

Charlie once said, "My pattern recognition over the last 5 years has become pretty sharp... When I see a story and it doesn't click, our guts are usually right." This resonates deeply as I examine the official story of his assassination. The narrative pushed by TPUSA—that Tyler Robinson was the lone shooter and that Charlie miraculously survived a bullet that should have been fatal—does not add up. Experts confirm the weapon used could kill large animals, yet Charlie’s body stopped the bullet in a way described as miraculous. This narrative has been weaponized to silence questions and critical thinking.

Concerns About Leadership: Erika Kirk and TPUSA’s Direction

Erika Kirk’s actions and statements have raised serious concerns. From secret meetings at Arizona State University to a leaked Zoom call days after Charlie’s death where her tone seemed disingenuous and detached, her leadership has felt disconnected from the grief and truth-seeking many of us share. The University of Arkansas chapter’s decision to disassociate from TPUSA reflects a broader dissatisfaction with how the organization has handled Charlie’s legacy, focusing more on metrics and viral moments than core conservative values.

Voices Silenced: Fired Employees and the Cost of Questioning

Former TPUSA employees like Aubrey Laitsch have been fired for questioning the official narrative. Aubrey’s experience reveals a culture where dissent is punished, contradicting Charlie’s own example of challenging narratives. These terminations and the silencing of honest inquiry are among the main reasons I can no longer support TPUSA.

Candace Owens: A Beacon Amidst Controversy

Candace Owens has faced relentless attacks for her efforts to investigate Charlie’s assassination. Despite being demonized by prominent conservatives, she remains committed to exposing the truth. Her work embodies the spirit of questioning and courage that Charlie valued. Criticism of her efforts often comes from those unwilling to confront uncomfortable realities.

Alternative Theories and Unanswered Questions

I do not believe Tyler Robinson was the shooter. The bullet trajectory, the sound of the shot, and suspicious behavior from key individuals suggest a more complex and coordinated assassination. Theories involving an exploding lavalier lapel mic, suppressed weapons, and alternate shooter locations raise serious doubts about the official story. Numerous inconsistencies—such as missing footage, cleared crime scenes, and delayed autopsy reports—point to a cover-up.

Call for Transparency and New Leadership

Turning Point USA, as it stands, has lost its way. I urge the Texas State University chapter to follow the University of Arkansas in disassociating from TPUSA and rebranding as Young American Revival. True conservative activism requires honesty, courage, and a commitment to truth, not blind allegiance to a compromised organization.

Remembering Charlie Kirk

Charlie’s legacy is one of faith, courage, and relentless pursuit of truth. He warned of the cruelty we face and the need for conservatives to play offense. His final texts revealed the pressures he faced from powerful donors and his refusal to back down. As I close this letter, I share three quotes from Charlie that inspire me to continue seeking truth and fighting for what is right.

Conclusion: A Commitment to Truth and Faith

These past seven months have taught me that evil walks among us, but it can only be defeated by faith in Jesus Christ and an unwavering commitment to truth. I stand with those who question, who seek, and who refuse to be silenced. Charlie Kirk’s death was a turning point for our country, and it demands that we respond with courage and clarity.
