Turning Point USA has announced a star-studded lineup of speakers to continue Charlie Kirk’s college speaking tour following his murder — fulfilling the pledge of his widow, Erika, that the campus events would continue without him.
Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 on the campus of Utah Valley University on the inaugural leg of his American Comeback Tour, which has been rebranded as the Turning Point Tour in his honor.
The new tour kicks off Monday night at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where conservative commentator, author and podcast host Michael Knowles, a close friend and frequent collaborator of Kirk’s, will be filling in.
On Wednesday, podcaster Megyn Kelly and Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will bring the tour to Virginia Tech, followed by a lineup Sept. 30 including TPUSA host Alex Clark, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and former GOP Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz at Utah State University.
Others set to stand in for Kirk include Vivek Ramaswamy, Gov. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Blaze Media CEO Glenn Beck, conservative podcast host Tucker Carlson, commentator Allie Beth Stuckey, Gov. Jeff Landry (R-La.), actor Rob Schneider and author Frank Turek, with more speakers to be announced, according to TPUSA.
Additional stops on the tour include Montana State University, University of North Dakota, University of Oklahoma, Indiana University Bloomington, Louisiana State University, Ole Miss, Auburn University and UC Berkeley.
