Hahahahaha! Get it? Turning point? Anyway, rustic chic lumbersexual fascist Matt Walsh on Wednesday confessed he was surprised to find out that far more deranged extremist influencer Candace Owens was not just making shit up when she claimed that, just days before his death, Saint Charles the Martyred had written in a group text some very Ilhan Omar-ish things about Israel and Jewish-Americans. In fact one of Kirk’s top lieutenants Andrew Kolvet on Tuesday – with a lot of self-serving qualifiers – literally confirmed the texts were genuine during a livestream.
“Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won’t cancel Tucker, I’m thinking of inviting Candace [Owens],” Kirk wrote, referring to some upcoming event in which Tucker was on the billing. Hilariously the part about inviting Owens was what Walsh said had seemed too “on the nose” for him initially. Can’t really fault him for it when she was the one propagating the texts.
“Ugghhh,” someone wrote in response before Kirk continued with “Jewish donors play into all the be bullied like this. stereotypes. I cannot and will not [trails off]” and then finally “Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause,” like he didn’t already see the way the wind has been blowing.
Adding to the mess is the fact that the texts made their way to Owens not from a source in TPUSA but either directly or intermediately from someone in federal law enforcement. Kolvet explained that, in the hours after Kirk was fatally shot and Keystone K$H was fucking up the investigation, the top people in TPUSA were handing anything and everything over to the FBI as potential leads to follow.
Meaning that, for a stretch in the immediate aftermath and before Tyler Robinson had been turned in by his minister, at least one person at Turning Point was taking just as seriously as Candace Owens did (and still does) the possibility that Jewish malefactors were behind Kirk’s assassination. And then when that leaked we’ve got hours and hours of caveats and apologia-filled content from the MAGA propaganda-industrial complex assuring us that Charlie Kirk wasn’t really an antisemite just weeks after Jimmy Kimmel was (briefly) canceled for mocking the way convicted felon President Trump had responded to a question about how the assassination affected him emotionally.
