Megyn Kelly and Gov. Glenn Youngkin headline Turning Point USA campus tour at Virginia Tech

Megyn Kelly and a sitting US Governor are the faces of Turning Point now?


Virginia Tech’s Burruss Auditorium (~3,000) was nearly full for the event. Outside the venue, a small group of counter-protesters peacefully demonstrated and held signs that read “Hokies don’t hate” and “hate has no home here,” according to CNN-affiliate WDBJ.

Replacing Kirk with a woman is the ultimate DEI hire and a self own by an organization with absolutely no self awareness.

Kirk preached misogyny to these people for years, and now they want them to listen to a woman? Can't wait to see how that works out. I don't see this ending well for the organization.

It was not a particularly favorable environment for MAGA types years ago, but I have no idea what the situation is now.

I know Colorado State University in Fort Collins was supposed to host Kirk on September 18th, but ended up having a "memorial" that reportedly brought in 7,000 people. My guess is that it was from heavily RW and nearby Weld County (Greeley), but who knows... Fort Collins is a blue stronghold, but obviously, students come from all over. Maybe it was also progressives attending out of curiosity or some other reason...?

Tech has 30,000 students so there’s bound to be more than a few of these types there.

While the surroundings may well be deep red.
