In the aftermath of the recent assassination of popular youth political influencer Charlie Kirk, could we at least stop calling Democrats, socialists, left-wing activists and their ilk “progressives”? There is absolutely nothing progressive about a political movement that engages in assassination, the arson of car dealerships and the burning, rioting and looting of major U.S. cities. If anything, this political movement is actually regressive. Its violence, coercion and tactics are downright medieval. In this day and age, it is vitally important to have truth in labeling.

Following the historic 2024 election, the media spotlight shone brightly on me and Barron Trump, the President’s youngest son, for the Republican Party’s unprecedented gains among young voters. Analysts hailed our podcast strategy as a game-changer, crediting us with flipping a demographic long considered a Democratic stronghold. While Barron and I are grateful for the recognition, it would be disingenuous to accept the lion’s share of the praise. The real architect of this seismic shift was Charlie Kirk, and his relentless work on Turning Point USA. For over a decade, Charlie was the heartbeat of conservative youth outreach. His influence...
