A MAGA meltdown erupted online Saturday because a young man stated a fact to Erika Kirk in church.

The supposed infiltration occurred Friday night as Kirk spoke at the Pursuit Church in Kirkland, Washington, as part of her "Make Heaven Crowded" tour event — and was interrupted by the shouts of a young man who rose to his feet.

"You married Charlie Kirk," he cried out. ...

An online battle broke out Thursday between right-wing influencers and MAGA conspiracist Candace Owens.

Owens, who has been vocal about alternative theories behind Charlie Kirk's killing while the trial was underway for the Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused of killing the Trump ally, fired off a post on X attacking Ben Shapiro and Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet.

"This your daily reminder that Charlie Kirk always hated Ben Shapiro— he thought he was an Israel-First Jew supremacist. And for years, Andrew Kolvet pretended to hate Ben too until the moment Charlie died. Andrew Kolvet encompasses the spirit of Judas."...

A former MAGA influencer sounded the death knell for a prominent right-wing group that she says is now "a disaster."

On a recent episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, Ashley St. Clair wrote off the youth conservative organization Turning Point USA as it tries to carry on without its slain founder, Charlie Kirk.

"Turning Point is dead in the water," St. Clair said. "I think it's a disaster, I really do."...

Erika Kirk spent less than 20 minutes at Turning Point USA's Women’s Leadership Summit — a three-day event where hopeful tradwives gathered to learn how to land a husband and start a family, according to a report from The Daily Mail on Wednesday.

The quick appearance from Kirk, the wife of former Turning Point leader Charlie Kirk, left many attendees at the San Antonio, Texas conference disheartened, reported Susan Greene, U.S. senior reporter for The Mail. Greene attended the gathering and said it was a more "somber affair" than in the past following Charlie Kirk's assassination in September 2025.

"And those hoping to rub shoulders with Erika Kirk, the 37-year-old tradwidow heroine of the group, were only left disappointed," Greene wrote....

The leader of Turning Point USA in a key battleground state called President Donald Trump's Iran war "distasteful" as young MAGA voters who helped elect the president have started to show signs of frustration, according to a Politico report on Monday.

Some of the youngest members among the MAGA coalition have cited skyrocketing gas prices, concerns about another long-term Middle East conflict and an overall sense of betrayal after a promise from Trump that he would refrain from those conflicts. And in interviews with six different leaders from Turning Point USA chapters, Politico found that "many of them said the president’s approach to Iran has undercut one of the central promises that animated younger right-wing voters in 2024: no new wars."

TPUSA vice chair at the University of Georgia, Connor Darby, pointed out how Trump's statements before the Iran war about previous strikes destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities contradicted the president's later comments. ...

Turning Point USA, the conservative political group, is threatening to deploy its campaign tactics against Trump's GOP enemies in other red states after a recent victory.

“[A lot of Republicans] will lose their jobs if they don’t get on board, they don’t listen to their voters, if they don’t do the right thing and fight the manipulation of the Democrats,” Tyler Bowyer, the Chief Operating Officer of TPUSA Action, told the Daily Caller in a Wednesday article.

Bowyer's warning comes after an election on Tuesday where TPUSA Action helped Trump oust five Indiana GOP lawmakers who opposed his demand to redistrict the state, the Caller noted. ...
