Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk told Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow that the conservative movement is now a “corporate-skeptic” and “pro-worker” movement thanks to President Donald Trump — and that it’s not going away.
“The conservative movement, thanks to Trump, is now a corporate-skeptic movement, a pro-worker movement, a free speech movement, a strict immigration movement,” said Kirk. “I don’t know where the kind of corporate Republicans have a home anymore.”
“And I think they’re really starting to realize it, legitimately,” he added.
Kirk spoke to Marlow during Turning Point USA’s sixth annual Student Action Summit on Monday.
“Mitt Romney said something super interesting over the weekend — which is that, ‘the Republican Party lost its soul and it’s not coming back any time soon.’ Yes, it lost the soul of your father’s party,” Kirk continued. “Your father’s party was the Wuhan party, where we sent our jobs to Wuhan, that was the Republican Party of Romney and Rockefeller.”
“And Trump comes along in only the way that Trump could, and challenged all of it,” said the TPUSA founder. “It’s actually poetic when you think about it. I don’t think the left will view it that way.”
