Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk said the rift between his organization and Fox News is alive and well.

Kirk, a pro-Trump activist, was once a regular on the air at Fox News. In turn, the network’s biggest stars were regular headliners at his TPUSA events. The relationship apparently collapsed earlier this year, with Kirk disappearing from the air at Fox and its talent disappearing from his events.

While Fox News has not publicly commented on the reasons behind the rift, some theories abound. TPUSA is a haven for conspiracy theories, most notably former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen. A Daily Beast report from July suggested the rift had something to do with Fox’s $787 million settlement with Dominion over those election lies, as the network feared having its hosts participate in events where such conspiracy theories were being pushed.

“Fox’s relationship with Turning Point is basically over,” a network source told the Beast. “They don’t want their talent associated with them anymore.”

      The important thing is that the effects are exponential so an equal amount added to this would be far more effective at renouncing bat shit from their mouths.
