Political activist Charlie Kirk posted a video of his interaction with a Kamal Harris-supporting college student that has gone viral.
The Turning Point USA co-founder presented thought-provoking points as he engaged with the young man who said his parents and grandparents lived under the Soviet Union’s repressive conditions.
He disagreed with the content that conservative students on campuses are being treated differently because of their views and took issue with Kirk’s premise that today’s leftist colleges and universities are brainwashing students.
But near the end of the 12-plus minutes that the student had at the microphone, he found his tenuous grasp on why he was voting for the Democrat ticket was no longer something he could logically defend.
See the full exchange in the YouTube video below with the relevant portion beginning at the 10:40-minute mark:

“What is Kamala Harris’s greatest accomplishment?” Kirk asked at one point after the student confirmed he was voting for the Democrat nominee.
But the response was a stretch about “establishing an extreme” and not being able to “definitively ” name her best accomplishment. Kirk then asked for any accomplishments to which the student named something Harris achieved while attorney general of California. However, when it came to any victories while vice president, the student seemed to suggest the office is ceremonial.
They continued to wrangle over semantics and the fact, according to the student, that Harris didn’t have any real power to do anything about the border crisis.
“Do you think Kamala Harris has done an objectively good job managing our border?” Kirk finally asked after drowning the liberal in facts.
“No,” was his dejected response, prompting Kirk to respond, “I appreciate the honesty.”
Posted on X, the video has garnered nearly 3 million views.
Oouf. That hurt to watch. That kid was way out of his league.

His soul was crushed at the realization that KamaLie is a fraud and a disaster for America.
If only he could see how good Trump was and is for America.

I appreciate that he was honest. He could have just kept saying it wasn’t her job but you did a good job making him think. I think there may be hope for him long term.

This kid’s heart is in the right place, his brain just hasn’t caught up yet.

If a liberal will spend the time to have an honest debate; this will be the end result every time.
Good work Charlie!
