The president of Turning Point USA’s University of Georgia chapter says the organization has strayed from the mission it had under the leadership of Charlie Kirk.
Caroline Mattox wrote on Instagram that she could not in good conscience stay with an organization that has “strayed so far from its original purpose and principles.”
Mattox is not the first TPUSA chapter president to express dissatisfaction with the organization’s current direction.
The University of Arkansas chapter cut ties with TPUSA last month. Former President Dino Fantegrossi also expressed the sentiment that TPUSA had strayed from its original mission.

Young people nowadays are not party loyalists, who will just ‘get with the program’ and fall in line against Democrats just because. The woke Left was easy to unite against, but now the GOP and President have two years to show for. So how they perceive the record will determine how they vote. (Or in some cases not vote at all.)
They need to get back to its core mission.
Many of these organizations tend to stray once the founder has left.
There are about 800 TPUSA chapters. And the presstitutes want to make a big deal about one leader resigning?
The article doesn’t say anything about exactly how these people believe the organization has ‘strayed’
So what was the vision that TPUSA presumably strayed from? The article doesn’t say.
Two, but your point remains the same. Not sure why 2 out of 800 is news
Does she say what the original mission was and why it is different now? Or is TPUSA just no longer the IN thing to be associated with on campus?
This article is useless.
HOW has the organization strayed?
WHAT are the “blatant lies”?
What is the core mission and how have they strayed? The article doesn’t say.
Also, what are the “blatant lies”? Again, the article doesn’t say.
STOP BELIEVING PROPAGANDA!
Univ Arkansas Chair:
“We are generally put off by how Charlie Kirk has been used by TPUSA since his assassination,” Fantegrossi wrote in the statement, published a week after Erika spoke in Little Rock. “Statements like ‘Charlie would have said…’ and ‘Charlie would have wanted…’ have felt in many instances disingenuous and manipulative.”

“His mission was never about numbers, appearances, or relevance. He showed people the beauty of just having a conversation and inspired an entire generation to make a change,” she wrote. “His mission was never about performing, but about encouraging my generation and future generations to stand up for what is right and fight to save America.”

NO ONE can replace Charlie and his presence at the Universities taking questions....NO ONE! It will take 3 people to get his message out!
Yep, just a hit piece with no substance.
“Where’s the beef?”
Meanwhile,
In other news,
In a FLIP, New Hampshire Rep. Dale Girard (D) SWITCHES to the Republican Party
He says he’s maintained the same beliefs his whole life.
It’s the Democrat Party who left HIM 💯
See post 10. 👆
I find it ironic that this anti TPUSA article was posted by CondoleezzaProtege which was likely approved by Condoleezza Rice.
You were expecting what... journalism?!?
I dont care if Erika advocates that Charlie Kirk supporters stay armed and vigilant towards the extreme (evil) liberal left and she references Deuteronomy 19:11-12 for clarification. Also: Romans 13:4: On government: “[The ruler] is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.”
Bowing before the sodomite lobby and culture. My prediction is most TP USA University chapters will follow this path.
Newsnation did no true reporting for this. Had they actually done reporting they would have investigated “why” certain TPUSA persons resigned and “because the organization has strayed” is neither a cause nor an answer because it leaves out 100% just what is meant be “the organization has strayed”. Certain persons are trying to undermine TPUSA and Newsnation is holding a megaphone for them.
… has left???
