YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCharlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, spoke Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, two days after an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The suspected shooter, who was killed by law enforcement, killed one person and seriously injured two.
Kirk spoke about the economy and younger Americans.
"You've watched home prices rise 47 percent since 2020. Homeownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year," Kirk said. "The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and millennials. The American dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite."
"Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. When he was president, young people were richer than ever before, and he will do it again," Kirk said.
During the convention, delegates will adopt a party platform and Trump will formally accept the Republican nomination for president. On Monday, Trump named Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate.
The Republican National Convention kicks off Monday, July 15, in Milwaukee against the backdrop of an apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump this weekend. PBS News will have gavel-to-gavel special coverage each day of the convention, with a continuous stream from the main floor.
