PHOENIX—When Olivia Hubbard left Iowa to go to college she thought she was going to get a break from the conservatism her dad was always touting. Instead, she was politically awakened.
Hubbard, now 19, was convinced by a roommate to see Charlie Kirk last year when he visited Grand Canyon University, 20 minutes from the headquarters of Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA. Listening to Kirk speak, Hubbard said, was like hearing all of her beliefs articulated clearly.
“I thought it was super cool that there’s someone younger who was going to all these universities, and who did believe in God and really made that known,” said Hubbard, who is Christian. From that moment on she was hooked, staying up late watching videos of Kirk debating liberal students on other college campuses.
Septum piercing club member who says she lives in Germany not only states that Charlie deserved to be assassinated, but also says that President Trump is “next.”
