Charlie Kirk is a prominent American conservative activist and the founder of Turning Point USA, a national student movement dedicated to promoting free markets and limited government. Born in 1993, Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA in 2012 at the age of 18, alongside Bill Montgomery. The organization has grown significantly, with a presence on over 3,000 high school and college campuses across the U.S. and more than 650,000 lifetime student members[2][3]. Kirk has been a prolific media presence, appearing thousands of times on various platforms, including Fox News and The Washington Post. He was named to the Forbes "30 under 30" list and became the youngest speaker at the 2016 Republican National Convention. He also served as the opening speaker at the 2020 RNC[2]. In addition to his activism, Kirk is an author, having written several books, including "The MAGA Doctrine," which became a best-seller on Amazon and The New York Times. His most recent book, "Rightwing Revolution," was released in 2024[2]. Kirk's involvement in politics extends beyond Turning Point USA. He was active in Bruce Rauner's successful 2014 gubernatorial campaign in Illinois. Rauner, who later became a financial supporter of Turning Point USA, praised Kirk's activism[3]. Kirk's activities have been controversial, drawing both support and criticism. Recently, Kirk's life was tragically cut short, and the FBI is investigating his death, offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible[3]. Despite the controversy surrounding his views and actions, Kirk remains a significant figure in conservative American politics.
