Dale Partridge on X/Twitter:

If you wonder how men like Hitler and Franco came to power—it's moments like these.

When moderate men fail, extreme men rise.

Somewhere in Spain is a young, intense Christian warlord waiting for his moment.

It's so refreshing. I am told there are Muslims in Ukraine but I notice they aren't dominating public spaces the way they do in other parts of Europe.
Russia can't say the same. Neither can the United States which has allowed unruly and violent Muslims to infiltrate our political institutions and pollute our country like a an incurable disease.
It's very clean and orderly here. That probably has a lot to do with it.

When your dead boss has some antisemitic texts posthumously leaked and you gotta post the ultimate “I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened” as the TPUSA spokesperson.

Andrew Kolvet, Turning Point USA spokesman on X/Twitter:

Yes, I've seen the alleged texts shared by Candace. I have no idea about their authenticity. For argument's sake, let's assume they're real.

Here are my observations:

It can be an evil thing to release a man's private messages after his death. Not everything is meant to be public. I can understand certain things in certain contexts, but Candace is weaponizing these messages to diminish Charlie's public statements and advance her own agenda - and he's not here to defend himself.

Also, consider the moment in time. Charlie had been unfairly called an anti-Semite in 2023, he was understandably upset by that, and he was willing to believe Candace was facing a similarly unfair attack. He's clearly trying to support someone who he thinks is being taken advantage of. It's important to remember that in 2023, Candace had yet to go off the deep end with her jihad against the Jews. We didn't yet know how far she was going to take it. Our relationship with DW had sometimes been rocky over the years, but these texts would be from before things improved significantly in 2024 during Trump's re-election and victory (which is why Ben spoke at AmFest in '24 and '25 at Charlie's invitation). Did disagreements remain?
Of course. But at the time of these texts, Charlie was not yet in regular communication with Ben and Jeremy, and he was only hearing Candace's version of events.

But publishing what she claims are private messages is illustrative of her character, and there's an important story that explains how CK became very aware of this.

In the first few months of Trump's second term, Emmanuel Macron visited DC and met with the president. Afterward, the president spoke with Charlie to see if Candace would be willing to stop attacking Macron's wife. This was a private matter and Charlie handled it with the utmost discretion. Candace did not. Despite the sensitive nature, Candace soon shared the story of the president calling her on her podcast.

Why am I telling you this?

Because when Charlie found out that Candace was willing to share the president's private communications on her show - just like she's apparently willing to share Charlie's private messages now - he was angry. She had betrayed the president's confidence, which Charlie believed was sacrosanct. After that, he told me Candace was officially a lost cause and no one could ever trust her again. Breaching people's trust in such a public and calloused way isn't normal behavior, and to him, she had "crossed he Rubicon."

This is why I'm very aware that Charlie and Candace were not friends when he was killed. He was still managing the relationship so she wouldn't turn on the org, but this pattern of hers playing out now is why Charlie ultimately realized he could never trust her again.
