Max Blumenthal has accused Turning Point USA of deceptively presenting the slain conservative activist as a regime change supporter Journalist Max Blumenthal has accused conservative group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) of misrepresenting the stance of its late co-founder Charlie Kirk in order to defend the US-Israeli war on Iran. Kirk, a popular podcaster, was killed by a sniper last September while speaking at a college in Utah. His widow, Erika Kirk, has since taken over the leadership of TPUSA. On Monday, two days after the US began conducting airstrikes in Iran, TPUSA posted a video on X of Kirk praising the Westernization of Iran that continued until the shah was overthrown in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. “If you are serious about actually protecting human rights, you should want to make Iran Western again,” Kirk says in the clip. TPUSA got community noted for deliberately misrepresenting Charlie Kirk's vehement opposition to a US war on Iran Imagine being assassinated in front of your wife, then having her willfully sell out your convictions and taint your legacy in front of the entire world https://t.co/DrU7m99vFe — Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) March 4, 2026
