"Nineteen-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand, crowned Charlie Kirk's protege in a recent New York Post profile, has drawn MAGA's fury with a video filmed from a private jet as he kick-starts his Turning Point USA-style campus speaking events. The tour, dubbed One Conversation at a Time, came after Hollyland vowed to carry forward the slain conservative activist's legacy. But last week, Hollyhand's image cracked when a self-shot promotional video showing the Alabama teenager sitting on a private jet and sporting a luxury watch"
"Nick Sortor, a Republican influencer who briefly co-hosted Kirk's show, warned against grifters pushing tours as a distraction from the real work of TPUSA. FYI: Turning Point USA is absolutely NOT sponsoring campus tours for young men flying around on private planesdespite claims otherwise This is such an unnecessary distraction from the ACTUAL campus tour, which honors Charlie Ignore the grifters. Here's the real schedule pic.twitter.com/aA9iN22xkZ Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 29, 2025"
"TPUSA's own chief operating officer Tyler Bowyer was harsher still, claiming Hollyhand let us all down when he associated with ex-Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel and accusing him of falsely suggesting his events were sponsored by the group. Brilyn got paid by Ronna McDaniel when she got re elected and really let us all down. Tyler Bowyer (@tylerbowyer) September 27, 2025"
