Video: Opinion | Who Speaks for MAGA?

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left the conservative movement in turmoil, sparking intense infighting among prominent personalities and raising questions about the future direction of populist conservatism. Andrew Kolvet, Kirk's close confidant and now host of 'The Charlie Kirk Show,' discusses the challenges of stewarding Kirk's legacy, the role of Turning Point USA, and the deep divisions that have emerged on issues like Israel, immigration, and religion. The aftermath of Kirk's death has fueled a wave of conspiracy theories, with figures like Candace Owens amplifying controversial narratives and highlighting the fractured state of the right.

Kolvet reflects on Kirk's influence as a unifying force and the difficulties in maintaining cohesion within the movement, especially as debates over foreign policy and identity intensify. He emphasizes the importance of fact-based discourse and the need for conservative leaders to balance tough policies with a spirit of compassion rooted in Christian values. As the movement navigates the end of the Trump era, questions remain about what will unite populist conservatives and how Kirk's legacy will shape the future of the right.
