Crisp: Are you sure you want to live in Charlie Kirk's America?

Kirk often distanced himself from Christian nationalism, but he was sympathetic to its goals, which include Christian dominance in American politics and culture. To Kirk, the separation of church and state was a fiction. He delighted in pointing out to callow college students that the term doesn't actually appear in the Constitution.

As every speaker at the four-hourlong service repeatedly exhorted, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder had died as a faithful servant of Christ, bringing the gospel to college students to save them from the spiritual darkness of the left.
