GOP activist Charlie Kirk calls Trump the 'bodyguard of western civilization'

WASHINGTON – He attacked Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Jill Biden. He went after Chicago's mayor, the mainstream media, and Black Lives Matter.

Kirk blamed “bitter, deceitful, vengeful” opponents for the nation’s woes and described Trump as an antidote to that division. Kirk’s message offered a particularly bleak view of the nation, arguing the country is “locking up pastors” while “releasing violent criminals from prison” and “kicking doctors off of social media” while “promoting Chinese state-funded propaganda” on other tech platforms.

The partisan age gap is not new, nor is it unique to Trump. But Winograd and others say today's political climate – fueled by the threat of climate change, the racial justice movement and deadly school shootings in Florida and elsewhere – has exacerbated the Republican Party's problems with young voters.

“I visit college campuses so you don’t have to,” Kirk told an approving crowd at the Conservative Political Action's 2020 conference."You're welcome." “You can’t go to college!” Montgomery recalled telling Kirk at the 2012 event, according to the National Journal."... You need to start an organization to reach out to young people with your message." He and Kirk teamed up to start Turning Point the next month.

“As he became more successful, he's developed similar relationships with pretty much everyone in the family, from the president himself to Ivanka,” he said. “I think he's got the respect of the White House because they know he actually represents, and is representative of, an important constituency.”

"Everybody knows they’re a punch line on campus," said Kristi Johnston, press secretary for the Arizona chapter of NextGen America, a group founded by one-time Democratic presidential contender Tom Steyer to register and mobilize young voters. Turning Point's spokesman, Andrew Kolvet, sharply disputed that. He said young liberal groups are nervous because Turning Point"has built a massive grassroots network of campus chapters and student activists" across the country.

Smith argued that Trump has "a much broader appeal to young people, because he's the pop culture president," while Biden simply doesn't generate enthusiasm among the younger generation.
