Charlie Kirk and Kyle Kashuv share a moment. |
Charlie Kirk, the chairman of Turning Point USA hired former Parkland student and mass shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv to counter March for Our Lives and its vocal leaders David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez.
Kirk is a kookspiracy nut and alt-white troll promotes sensationalism and doxing.
The troll allegedly threw his back out and wanted emergency help at a local hospital. He wanted to go to Cedar Sinai Hospital for treatment.
Kyle Kashuv became a celebrity de jour to the right when he openly spoke in favor of gun rights and arming teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He also became a vocal opponent of David Hogg. Kashuv often trolls Hogg and Emma Gonzalez whenever they speak out against the NRA and Donald J. Trump.
Kashuv often uses white privilege and his victim status to earn sympathy from those on the right and some on the left. He acts like he shouldn't be called out for being a total douchebag.
Well today, you got your douchebag moment.

Today, Kirk exaggerated a scenario. He claimed that Cedar Sinai through him and Kashuv out on the street.
The Daily Dot shot down the allegations.
Considering that Kirk is well known for his views on healthcare—namely, that healthcare isn't a
'right,' but a privilege, and that the U.S. system is the best in the world—people were quick to point out the hypocrisy.

Kirk along with Kashuv make up the alt-white. The alt-white are far right agitators who use their privilege to generate attention. They often whine about how evil progressives are towards them.

Kirk's Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is an American right wing, nonprofit organization. The organization was founded when he took classes at Harper College.
Since 2016, Turning Point USA has maintained a Professor Watchlist that lists college professors it alleges discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.
The organization has also secretly attempted to influence student government elections in an effort to "combat liberalism on college and university campuses"
Kirk took general education classes at Harper College, a local community college.
Kirk addressed the 2016 Republican National Convention. In an interview with Wired magazine during the convention, Kirk said that while he "was not the world's biggest Donald Trump fan," he would vote for him, and that Trump's candidacy made Turning Point's mission more difficult.
The Dallas Morning News described Kirk as leading the "millennial assault" for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Kirk wrote the 2018 book Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters. In a review for the The Weekly Standard, Adam Rubenstein described the book as a "hot mess", "nothing more a marketing pitch for TPUSA" and said the "thin" book was "stuffed with reprintings of his tweets and quotes from others."
In 2018, Kirk praised Kanye West for getting involved in politics and advocating for President Trump. Later that year when Taylor Swift endorsed a Democrat in the Tennessee Senate race, Kirk condemned her endorsement and told her to "stay away from politics."
Kirk suggested, without evidence, that Swift had not written her endorsement. Kirk said it was "ridiculous" for Swift to accuse Republican Marsha Blackburn of being hostile to LGBT rights and women's rights; Blackburn has a well-documented history of anti-LGBT positions, which Swift cited in her endorsement.
In December 2018, Kirk falsely claimed that protesters in France's "yellow vests" movement chanted "We want Trump." Kirk's false claims were later repeated by President Trump. The videos in support of the claim were from a far-right protest in London, not from the yellow vest movement in France.
