Turning Point: Widow of Charlie Kirk expected to visit NI
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Erika Kirk is rumoured to be visiting Northern Ireland as part of a tour to recruit young people to the conservative organisation founded by her murdered husband, Charlie Kirk. The organisation started out among conservative students on campuses across the US. It’s understood that former DUP MP Ian Paisley has been consulted about setting up a branch of the group Northern Ireland to carry forward their christian-right ethos.
Could Turning point come to NI, what would it stand for, and would the group’s views resonate with young people in Northern Ireland?
Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph Journalists Brett Campbell and Kurtis Reid.
