On Tuesday morning, Turning Point USA’s Founder and President Charlie Kirk endorsed Representative Joe Mitchell for Iowa House District 87. This was Rep. Mitchell’s statement:
“I am incredibly excited to have the support of the most influential conservative voice in the country: Turning Point USA’s Founder and President Charlie Kirk. Like Charlie always says, strong conservative leadership is the only way forward. Charlie and I believe that conservatism will save our country, and we’ll never stop fighting to uphold those principles.”
I did not know Charlie Kirk was part of the deep state. Now I do. The late Lord Mountbatten made the observation, ”funny how scum always rises to the top“. Jeff Shipley, I find no fault in him. Shipley is brave enough to address the issues political cowards dare not. Shipley is exposing political charlatans.
Turning Point gets the big picture of the damage Progressives are doing but it appears they are not discerning of conservative fundamentals. Charlie just endorsed Terry Brandstat which we would do over Chet Culver but not over Steve King. Mitchell is of the same cloth that threw Steve King under the bus.
Wait until Iowa gets a US house rep that arrives in DC angry about what they did to Steve King. Something to look forward to.
