An Arkansas college chapter of the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA abruptly cut ties with the conservative organization—less than a week after Erika Kirk visited the state.

The University of Arkansas’s TPUSA chapter released a statement Tuesday disavowing the organization and its use of Charlie Kirk’s name since he was fatally shot at a campus event in Utah on September 10.

“We have many grievances with Turning Point USA, but I will share only one,” wrote Dino Fantegrossi, the former chapter president at UA. “We are generally put off by how Charlie Kirk has been used by TPUSA since his assassination. Statements like’Charlie would have said….’ and ‘Charlie would have wanted…’ have felt in many instances disingenuous and manipulative. Charlie Kirk cannot speak for himself anymore, and we do not recognize the way others have attempted to speak for him.”

Fantegrossi, who has been a member of TPUSA since his freshman year, said the chapter unanimously voted to rebrand and rename the organization “Young American Revival,” with a renewed mission of “advocating for Christian conservative values and policy” and supporting right-wing political candidates. He did not respond to a request for comment.

6. So is it "Christian family values" that you want

Or perhaps to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ? In MAGA America, they seem to be two separate things.
