Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk said her organization’s efforts to support a potential JD Vance presidential campaign in 2028 are “in the works.”
Kirk’s comments on an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show that was released on Monday were not unexpected.
Her late husband, Charlie Kirk, was an early advocate of Vance during Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection process in 2024, and the two remained close friends until Kirk’s assassination in Utah in September.
But the promise of the group’s backing is a critical acquisition for Vance’s hypothetical future presidential campaign. While Vance remains the most obvious apparent heir to Trump’s MAGA movement, other prominent Republicans have been making subtle moves to position themselves as candidates in 2028.
I don’t know how they jumped from traditional Christian values to actively destroying the government. I need a play-by-play on that.
A few decades ago, the business guys realized they could trick Christians into voting for them if they said they themselves were Christians and opposed abortion. This relationship has now existed for so long that now many Christians have conflated Republican economic policy with Christian moral ideals and can’t seem to separate the two.
traditional Christian values have always been ripe with abuses, the church exists as a tool for the state
Republicans don’t “appeal” to the religious, they own and operate the churches. When Roe Vs Wade happened abortion was at like 80% among non catholic churches.
The Republican party and their donors made anti abortion a central party plank as a wedge issue after Roe vs Wade and basically floated it between their donors and church leaders as a method to split christians from supporting welfare etc. Similar to how they used the media to float “welfare queens” to racists.
Like the wealth republican donor policies come first then they drag church leaders along by threatening donations. Then they appeal to racists. Its lead to an exodus of people from US churches.
