Turning Point USA founder and President Charlie Kirk slammed the Democratic Gen Z summit Friday, and was co-hosted by the guest on Saturday, questioning the event’s apparent lack of patriotism.
“Fox & Friends” co-host Charlie Hurt noted that the voters fighting for our future summit tomorrow appear to lack the authenticity that Kirk and his organization bring to Kirk's annual turn-point (TPUSA) summit against Kirk's annual turn-point (TPUSA) summit.
“Well, you're also going to see all the B-roll out there in the Democratic event – where is patriotism?” Kirk said.
“Where is the American flag? Where are the Americans?”

When co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked what signals the numbers sent him, the founder of TPUSA explained why he resonated with the Republicans.
“It tells me that there has finally been a counterattack and a rebellion over what has happened culturally over the past five years,” he said.
“I mean, what you think of – we've locked in, but the other part of the Covid chaos is everything that awakens, just a compulsion to our country's youth. You can see the Oita of Gen Z, which I think is a very important point.”
Kirk added: “Nothing is like saying that you sit at home all day and can’t leave the house, just staring at the screen,” noting that the entire “covid siss” leads young people to lead young people to more masculine voices like Podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von.
Earlier in the show, Kirk mocked the Democrats’ decision to have former DNC vice chairman David Hogg speak at the event, jokingly calling Hogg a “symbol of American masculinity.”

Late Saturday, Democratic lawyer and strategist Julian Epstein warned that the summit only strengthened the party with many problems, “no clear plans.”
He told Fox News Scene that most voters do not like to “wake up” politics or the party’s socialist economic policies.
