"Less than a month after right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Utah college campus during his "American Comeback Tour," his organization announced it will continue the campus tour with a final stop at UC Berkeley. The conservative, nonprofit student group Turning Point USA was founded by Kirk, who was shot dead on Sept. 10 during the first stop of the current tour."
"The tour resumed Monday at the University of Minnesota and is set for its next stop at Virginia Tech on Wednesday, according to its website. Dan Mogulof, a spokesperson for UC Berkeley, confirmed to SFGATE that the organization's event is set for Nov. 10 and will occur on campus. Mogulof said the university does not have any details about the exact venue yet. According to the student organization's Bay Area social media page, the event is reportedly going to be held at Zellerbach Hall."
"The UC Berkeley event is slated to have two main speakers: Actor Rob Schneider and Christian author Frank Turek. The organization did not respond to SFGATE's questions about resuming the tour and decision to include a UC Berkeley stop. Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, is the newly appointed CEO of the organization and said in a public address that she planned to continue the campus tours and his podcast."
Charlie Kirk was shot dead on Sept. 10 during the first stop of the "American Comeback Tour," and a 22-year-old Utah man, Tyler Robinson, was arrested on Sept. 12. Turning Point USA announced continuation of the campus tour with a final stop at UC Berkeley scheduled for Nov. 10. The tour resumed at the University of Minnesota and is set to visit Virginia Tech next. UC Berkeley confirmed the event will occur on campus but has not specified a venue; student social media cites Zellerbach Hall. Rob Schneider and Frank Turek are listed as main speakers. Erika Kirk, newly appointed CEO, said she planned to continue the campus tours and Kirk's podcast.
