Turning Point USA founder said in July that young Americans could start feeling like 'permanent renting class.' ...
"How do we get more young people under the age of 35 to have equity in the system? Not the Democrat version of equity, where they want to have redistribution, but actually, are they paying a mortgage? Do they own stuff? Or are they permanent renters?" Kirk asked during a July 11 appearance on "Fox & Friends."
"A permanent renting class in this country is the prerequisite, is the leading ingredient for radical politics that nobody wants to see," he continued.
"We need to reinvigorate the ownership economy. And then all of a sudden, when you own stuff, you're less likely to burn down Wendy's and vote for candidates like Zohran Mamdani."
Later that day, speaking at the Turning Point USA Summit in Tampa, Florida, Kirk doubled down on his warning, taking aim at Mamdani’s push for city-run grocery stores and his previously espoused defund the police rhetoric.
"All that is garbage," Kirk said. "But we failed to understand why he is rising… a part of it is that people in New York are not like you wonderful people here in Florida… But there's a deeper thing at play… Younger voters are trying to get their leaders' attention. We can't afford anything."

They only want 3rd world indentured servants to have jobs, and have stagnated wages through massive to achieve their goal.
We need a fifty year immigration moratorium instead of a mortgage.
I read today in the NY Post Madcommie hired a guy who wants to release 80% of the prisoners in NY. More evidence this is nothing but a terror attack. “Where and how we least expect it” What ELSE could it by releasing 80% of the prisoners?
Well if true, Mamdani was able to gloss over all of it on the campaign trail with the economic promises...That was Charlie’s warning. The problems faced by Gen Z + Millennials leave the door open for radicals.
