    TPUSA was founded in 2012 by then 18-year-old Charlie Kirk, a right-wing activist from a wealthy Chicago suburb. At the time, Kirk had been rejected from West Point Military Academy, which he blamed on affirmative action. A non-student, Kirk decided to create the student advocacy group.

    He’s still bitter that he wasn’t qualified for West Point and he still blames affirmative action for his failures. Cheer up Charlie, the grift has been kind to you, even though you’re an uneducated conspiracy theorist moron.
