Turning Point USA Founder and podcaster Charlie Kirk onstage speaking to a crowd of about 500 at the Wenatchee Convention Center on Aug. 13, 2023.

Charlie Kirk is a bona fide right-wing media celebrity best known for co-founding Turning Point USA, a political action group that promotes conservative politics in high schools, colleges, and universities. Last week he was in Wenatchee to speak at a sold-out $125-a-plate dinner at the Wenatchee Convention Center for the Chelan County GOP’s “Lincoln Day Dinner.” Another hundred bucks got you a meet and greet with the man himself.

Kirk is a divisive figure who famously promotes racial acrimony and white victimhood narratives as well as the cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, which is popular with Grace City Church leaders. He has garnered media attention for his organization’s notable shift into Christian Nationalism over the last couple of years. This week on his show distributed by the Salem Media Group he complained that the 14th Amendment is too broad and that it “nullifies the rest of the Constitution, as long as the government can be used to attack white people, or now to attack insurrectionists.”

The 14th Amendment essentially finished what the Emancipation Proclamation started and went further – ensuring those born on American soil, specifically ex-slaves, were granted American citizenship and famously provides “equal protection” under the law for all US citizens regardless of race.

The event was billed as “an opportunity to hear from Charlie and raise funds for our organizations to help promote conservative candidates in our area,” according to the Chelan County GOP.

It was “sold out” at a reported 500 attendees, and the event drew conservatives from across the region. One was former NASCAR driver, failed US Senate candidate, and current congressional candidate Jerrod Sessler, who was in Washington DC on Jan. 6 for the infamous Capitol attack. He said he didn’t participate in the breach of the Capitol building but has since made bogus claims that the riot was a "setup" perpetrated by paid "agitators" and the FBI meant to discredit Donald Trump and his supporters.
