Young Conservatives Are Asking What's Next For the Movement Charlie Kirk Started
About this episode
For many young conservatives, Charlie Kirk was more than just another political activist or online personality.
He was the face of their movement -- a glimpse at how life for their generation could look by embracing a more hard-right, MAGA worldview. Charlie Kirk's followers are in shock and grief over his assassination.
As they try to make sense of his killing, many are also asking what's next for the movement he started.
