New York Times: “More than 800 people lined up early on Tuesday morning to see Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, and Charlie Kirk, the 26-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, speak at a hotel here. Onstage, Mr. Kirk, the younger Mr. Trump and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, offered up red meat to the crowd, much of it wildly exaggerated or without basis in fact. They complained about the persecution of conservatives, bantered about the ’96 genders’ that they said Democrats now recognized, suggested that Mr. Biden has dementia, and claimed that Osama bin Laden had once endorsed Mr. Biden. But the event reached its peak as the three speakers took up the bogus conspiracy theory that Democrats condone pedophilia, They also took on ‘Cuties,’ a French film released on Netflix that depicts preteen girls in a provocative dance crew, and that critics say hypersexualizes young girls.”

“Jonathan Gross, an 18-year-old Republican and finance student from Tucson, was one of the few wearing a mask inside the event. He said he had hoped to hear about the president’s policies and was disappointed to see that it was just a live trolling session. He described the Trump re-election campaign as having the maturity level of a teenager. ‘They were just throwing out a bunch of stuff, saying Joe Biden is basically brain-dead for having to read off a teleprompter, calling the left sheep, and that ‘Cuties’ argument,’ he said. ‘I came to hear about what Trump is planning to do with his re-election, but it felt like just slander of the left.'”
