Charlie Kirk is coming to USC

Charlie Kirk, the bombastic conservative provocateur, is coming to USC on Monday.

It’ll be the third stop in the MAGA star’s “American Comeback Tour,” where he’ll debate progressive students at colleges across the country in his signature own-the-libs-style confrontations.

Kirk is the founder of the massive Turning Point USA network, a nonprofit that promotes conservative views at high school and college campuses. His sizable internet following — and fealty to Donald Trump — have earned him a spot in the president’s inner circle.

Like most provocateurs of his genre, Kirk can espouse commonsense views, and his remarks are often taken out of context.

But he is also a prolific peddler of outright bullshit famous for inflammatory remarks about race-related issues and false claims of election fraud.

The first event of Kirk’s 2025 tour kicks off Thursday at the University of Florida.

Online tickets, which are free, list the USC event’s start time as 12 p.m. They do not say where the event will be held, though Kirk’s debate-style videos are often filmed outside.

Turning Point USA’s website pledges to release “more information” before the event starts.
