@thetimes: Charlie Kirk is everywhere at Turning Point in Phoenix, Arizona. Outside, the late-summer desert heat is still fierce and security guards mark the gates of the headquarters where he used to work. Inside, the corridors are lined with newspaper cuttings about the murdered conservative activist’s life. His old suits and ties hang on a clothes rail in one of the rooms.⁠ ⁠ The murder that shook America is still having ripple effects, as the anniversary approaches on Thursday. ⁠ ⁠ Kirk supporters hoped his legacy would inspire a new generation of activists. Much of this has been realised: Turning Point says the number of college chapters is up by 64 per cent on the previous year and that a million students are involved, many of them arriving after Kirk’s death.⁠ ⁠ But what we also see, one year on, is a fracture on the American right #charliekirk #turningpoint #maga #trump ⁠
