Columbia Students Turn Assassination Into a Punchline– townhall.com
Columbia University’s satirical newspaper, The Federalist, published an article making fun of Turning Point USA’s pro-Second Amendment position just hours after Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
The headline read, “Turning Point USA Undergoes Unexpected Ideological Shift, States Second Amendment Actually Not That Important Anymore.”
A mock statement from TPUSA leadership, written by the satirical newspaper, read:
The Turning Point USA leadership team recently convened to discuss the role of the Second Amendment in our propaganda, I mean, education. We’ve decided to reconsider our stance on gun control and personal freedoms. This decision was made completely independently of recent events.
Guns kill people. That is a truth that we have only recently learned. It turns out, ignoring all of those public health experts and grieving parents and nationwide statistics wasn’t a good idea. Our bad!
“In typical conservative fashion, it seems, Turning Point USA only realizes how terrible their politics are when it f**ks with their own lives. Go figure,” the article concluded.
