Turning Point USA, the right-wing youth student organization led by Charlie Kirk, found itself in an unusual controversy Saturday night after "conservative pornstar" Brandi Love was allowed into a Florida conference and welcomed as an "Adult VIP," sparking backlash.
The drama began early in the night when the adult entertainer's presence in Tampa was first discovered by a follower of white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes and former Kansas State student Jaden McNeil, who wrote on Telegram, "Turning Point USA has a pornstar as a VIP at their Student Action Summit."
"Imagine sending your kids to this conference think they're gonna learn about Christian Conservative values, and they come home with photos with pornstars," he added, attaching a photo of Love snapping a picture with a TPUSA attendee.
Quickly thereafter, white nationalist "groypers" began to approach Love both in person at the event and feverishly online, hurling insults again and again at the adult star.
After a while, more mainstream conservative figures and student activists began to join in as well, calling out Turning Point USA for the alleged misstep. "A new low for TPUSA. Zero class left in that organization," Liberty University student Carley Dehnisch said. Right-wing writer Alec Sears penned, "Absolutely damned speechless that 'conservative' org TPUSA has invited an actual porn star to a conference that minors attend." Young America's Foundation (YAF) intern Jacob Porwisz wrote, "Great job TPUSA, for inviting a porn star to their conference that features kids under 17; very conservative of them!"
Reached for comment by Salon, TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet declined to comment on the drama. Shortly thereafter, Love was banned from the gathering.
"We regret to inform you that your SAS 2021 invitation has been revoked," an email from TPUSA stated, posted to Twitter by the adult entertainer. "This decision is final. This revocation does not impact application to future events, and we hope that you will consider applying again in the future."
However, Love wasn't buying it and said the Republican Party is "broken" due to TPUSA officials giving her the boot. "Can't make this crap up lol!! I just watched Charlie Kirk, Dan Bongino, Rick Scott, Kat Timpf, speak about freedom, censorship, how inclusive the 'movement' is," she stated. "And then they had me thrown out of the Turning Point USA conference. The Republican Party is broken."
You're right. That is an amusing story, especially considering the fact that our dear former President had no problem consorting with porn stars and grabbing women by their genitals without their permission. Still, the very idea of a conservative porn star seems like some kind of oxymoron, considering the conservatives' stance on what they proclaim to be "family values." I continue to be flabbergasted that the religious right are consistently among the strongest supporters of Trump despite how openly corrupt and dishonest he is. I remember Sean Spicer, Trump's former press secretary, maintaining, in effect, that corruption is legal if you do it in the open. I think the same kind of attitude pervades almost anything Trump tries to do. He apparently thinks that anything he says or does must be alright if he can somehow succeed in getting away with it, even despite almost everyone knowing about it.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
I imagine Conservatives are still resentful that Stormy Daniels spanked Trump with a magazine, even if they are appreciative that she aided him in the consumption of cheeseburgers. Just like they hold a grudge against the Russian mattress company that supplied Moscow's Ritz-Carlton.
