Turning Point USA is haemorrhaging members at an accelerating rate, with a growing wave of resignations now drawing direct links to leaked internal Zoom calls and allegations that executives have exploited religious language to consolidate power since the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was fatally shot on 10 September 2025 while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. His widow, Erika Kirk, was unanimously elected CEO and chair of the board by 18 September. Since then, a string of leaked recordings, mass firings and public resignations has exposed the organisation's internal culture.
