"Slain conservative activist's Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA traveling rally American Comeback Tour is coming to UC Berkeley in just one week, so the university is forced to reconsider security after Kirk's assassination. It's been nearly two months since firebrand conservative crusader Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a campus event in Utah, and of course, the whole Jimmy Kimmel controversy which that begat."
"And Cal Matters reports that Kirk's tour will make its final stop at UC Berkeley, a week from today, on November 10. There are obvious security concerns here, and not just because Kirk was assassinated at a similar event on a college campus. After all, this event will be in Berkeley. Suffice to say there have been some pretty raucous demonstrations at UC Berkeley when previous conservative rabble-rousers had speaking engagements there."
"Cal Matters points out that next week's UC Berkeley event will be the Turning Point tour's first California event since Kirk was assassinated. But very notably, this one will lack the star power of most Turning Point USA events since then. The schedule shows no one the likes of JD Vance, or former Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson, who've been headlining these rallies in recent weeks."
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a campus event in Utah nearly two months ago, but his Turning Point USA American Comeback Tour has continued across college campuses. The tour will stop at UC Berkeley on November 10, raising security concerns because of the prior assassination and Berkeley's history of raucous demonstrations at conservative speaking events. This Berkeley stop is the tour's first California event since the killing and lacks recent headline guests such as JD Vance and Tucker Carlson, featuring instead Rob Schneider and Christian apologist Frank Turek. The event had been scheduled before the shooting; campus officials declined to elaborate on security plans.
