Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest has come to a close after a speaker lineup packed with familiar conservative heavyweights. Yet the gathering carried a somber weight, marking the first AmericaFest held without Charlie Kirk, the movement’s architect, who was assassinated on Sept. 10.
Still, Kirk’s mission was unmistakably alive. His work—and the movement he built—endures, now carried forward by Erika Kirk, who has taken up the mantle with a clear objective: ensuring the conservative revolution continues by electing JD Vance president in 2028, should he run.
The vice president addressed the crowd on the final day of the festivities yesterday, delivering remarks that would likely provoke a strong reaction among liberal Americans—especially this one: “In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.”
Cue the unhinged left-wing Democrat meltdown!

He vowed Republicans would crush the Democrats, delivering a blunt and accurate assessment of the Democratic Party along the way—along with a string of remarks that no doubt sent liberals into predictable outrage:

JD Vance perfectly sums up Democratic politicians:
"They are puppets. They are cogs in a machine that wants to make you poorer, less powerful, and less safe in the country your ancestors built."
"They get rich when you get poorer. They hire the illegals that they bring in to… pic.twitter.com/81VVECFz61

You can already hear it—the lazy accusations of racism, white nationalism, and neo-Nazism being churned out in liberal media echo chambers in real time.
To the Left, everything they oppose is “Nazism,” which is precisely why their rhetoric has become so hollow, unserious, and detached from reality. Good on the vice president for being so fearless on this subject and for having the guts to say what we’ve all been thinking for years.
