The contretemps at TPUSA and Heritage are less significant than the Democrats’ legal and economic challenges.
Charlie Kirk was a one-off, it seems. His assassination and the turning over of TPUSA to his wife Erika may prove that his legacy handoff is more than she is able to effectively manage. So much of what I saw at this week’s Am Fest triggered by Tucker Carlson (and Jack Posobiec’s cosplaying Jesus Christ Superstar while posting with a disgusting anti-Semite) undercuts -- indeed denigrates -- what Charlie and TPUSA once stood for. While Vice President J.D. Vance used his opportunity there to respond to groyper Nick Fuentes’ attacks on his charming wife Usha, he missed his opportunity to criticize Carlson, whose promotion of this disgusting man made him more prominent than he ever was or would be without the podcaster’s reach. (Maybe, because once upon a time Carlson’s favorable coverage was significant in putting Vance into the vice president’s office and he feels loyal to Tucker.)
This kind of divisive behavior by ambitious people during a leadership void is far from unusual. My own feeling is that TPUSA will continue on at college campuses but with far fewer fireworks than we saw at AmFest. Still, without more effective leadership at the top, its national reach will be far more limited. I think Candace Owens finally has limited her appeal to the insane, and Megyn Kelly to those lacking sense, sensibility, and memories longer than a nanosecond. Carlson, with his love notes to Qatar, a major funder of terrorism, is I think soon heading for a flameout.
The division he inspired at TPUSA has also affected the once formidable think tank, Heritage, whose head, Kevin Roberts, failed to take on Carlson regarding things that matter to the strongest supporters of the organization.

Heritage Foundation members fleeing to a Mike Pence organization? I don’t trust him.
Good post. I was blissfully unaware of some of that stuff.
Article quote on Kevin Roberts:
“Your apology was underwhelming”
Roberts apologized over and over and over again...and the gatekeeper wannabes still condemn him.
Lol.
—
Never apologize.
When you do your enemies just smell blood and attack more ferociously.
Yeah? Oh, ok. So, now what? (to the author),
You’ve popped and spritzed over the so-called dirty week.
I have not been following all this stuff. To the great unwashed, it seems you love talking nasty dropping name like Carlson and Candace.
I bet you have midnight confessions about those two folks.
So, in closing (as many pastors this morning will say),
again I say, So what?
Has anyone listened to Tuckers speech at AmFest? It sounded reasonable to me. He condemned anti semitism. He explains he’s a new Christian that makes mistakes and is trying to figure things out. The bigger question is not what Tucker is up to but why is Israel and Jews who empower democrats above criticism? Nary one critical word and the response is ANTISEMITISM! They sound like a bunch of woke cancel culture cry bullies to me.
There are a lot of very good political commentators coming to Christ and believe they know the Bible when they don’t. They have to accept Israel is God’s Chosen People and Christians are a branch of the Jews.
There is no replacement of the Jews in the Bible.
Tucker made the same mistake Kevin Roberts made.
He backtracked...
and got attacked even more ferociously than before....
“No good deed goes unpunished”.
It’s very one-sided and I don’t agree with his assessment. He left out the early speaker at the event, Ben Shapiro who is likely a close bud, who started the night attacking other invited speakers. He was horrible. Anti-Trump since the beginning.
To me, Tucker and Shapiro come across as snobs.
IS “ON-OFF” OR ONE-OF” CORRECT???
I DO NOT THINK CHARLIE WAS “OFF” ABOUT ANYTHING
One-Off. I think the author means that Charlie was unique and rare, unusual and not likely to replicated or replaced.
