The national college and high school conservative youth organization Turning Point organizer was the Northwest Suburbs’ Charlie Kirk.
He was inspired when his local Republican organization blew the high schooler off after he suggested that the GOP should aim some attention at youth.
I first met him at a fundraiser at Gary Rabine’s Johnsburg home when Bill Prim was running for Sheriff. He was a speaker and brought a passel of young people.
Then, he spoke at Patriots United, raising $25,000 from local conservatives to hire a local organizer.
Now he is the main speaker for the February 15th Lincoln Dinner of the McHenry County Republican Central Committee at D’Andrea’s in Crystal Lake.
The price is $150, half price for Republican Precinct Committeemen.
Charlie Kirk is the ultimate Harold Hill.
He’s never done anything except set up a machine to build a fortune off of Republican “oppression.”
it’s a shame the local GOP wouldn’t feature someone with a record of accomplishment.
Gary Rabine same guy behind YAAS.
Bill Montgomery helped start TPUSA and YAAS too.
It’s all the same old people throwing their money at young people telling them to educate youngins against the dangers of big government and socialism.
I could go on a very long rant about why I don’t like Kirk and some of these newer groups, but I do understand why the MCGOP booked him. Kirk is popular and Baby Boomers love his message.
Looks a little prissy to me.
Maybe that’s how millennials are.
“He’s never done anything except set up a machine to build a fortune off of Republican “oppression.””
Sounds to me like that would make him a democratic politician.
Namby Pamby. We have more than enough of them.
