New Leader for Turning Point USA

Introduction

Charlie Kirk died in September 2025. Now, people disagree about the new leader of his group, Turning Point USA.

Main Body

On September 18, 2025, the board chose Erika Kirk as the new CEO. They say Charlie Kirk wanted his wife to lead the group. He said this at a meeting in August. Candace Owens does not believe this. She says the audio recording is fake. She thinks a computer made the voice. The group will not show the video because they want to protect their donors. Police arrested Tyler Robinson for the killing. But a writer named Elizabeth Lane says something different. She says she had a dream. She believes the same people who killed President Kennedy killed Charlie Kirk. Some people say these stories come from Russia to confuse everyone.

Conclusion

The group says one thing, but other people tell different stories about the leader and the death.

πŸ—£οΈ The Power of "SAYS"

In this story, we see many people talking. When we want to tell the reader what someone thinks, we use the word say.

The Pattern: Person β†’ says β†’ [the idea]

  • They say Charlie Kirk wanted his wife to lead.
  • She says the audio recording is fake.
  • She says she had a dream.

πŸ’‘ A2 Rule: The Extra 'S'

If you talk about one person (He, She, Erika, Candace), you must add an -s to the word:

  • She says βœ…
  • He says βœ…

If you talk about many people (They, We), do not add the -s:

  • They say βœ…

Quick Comparison:

  • One person β†’\rightarrow says
  • Many people β†’\rightarrow say
