"Why I Quit Working for Charlie Kirk"

[allegorical oracle]

By Caroline Stout

Texas native Caroline Stout said she began working with Kirk at his nonprofit organization in 2014. She is currently an attorney.

A former Turning Point USA employee has claimed conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a “never-Trumper” until Donald Trump was elected president for the first time in 2016.

She said Kirk’s decision to support Trump was "strategic" in order to grow the organization and his "position of power within the government.”

"Charlie said he could never vote for Trump," she added. "It kind of flipped when he decided, he saw, I think, the writing on the wall that Trump was what was the next figurehead of the Republican party."

Of the change, she said: "And so that's kind of when I left because it wasn't a direction that I was comfortable with going, especially just the rhetoric and the immigrant and anti-women rhetoric is just not something that I was comfortable with."

5. Kirk was a phony, an opportunistic grifter like the rest of them. He sold his soul

to the devil and the devil called in his chit.

Kids, don’t be like Charlie.

13. The same cut of cloth as some of those mega-church preachers who make their

fortunes -- and travel in Rolls Royce and private airplanes. (Kirk's wife graduated from Falwell's Liberty University.)

6. The entire GOP is a bunch of empty vessels...

…they have no center or core beliefs. They’ll promote whatever is in their own best interest; fu(k everybody else. They’re disgusting. Looks like I’ll be off to the gulag :-/

7. was Trump too far to the right, or too far to the left?

8. It shows how grifting is a huge reason for a lot of this shit

9. Trump was an epiphany for many on the right - they realised "my god, our voters really are as dumb as pigshit

and will let us get away with anything. Quick, cash in before the country falls apart."

10. "...Kirk's decision to support Trump was 'strategic' ..."

Huh, who could have guessed that about Charlie, but I'm sure it doesn't apply to other media personalities and politicians and VPs who also support him, right?
