Vice President JD Vance stood in for the late Charlie Kirk on Wednesday night, fielding tough questions from students at the University of Mississippi, as part of a national campus tour hosted by Turning Point USA.<\/p>\n
The event honored the organization’s founder, the Christian advocate for conservatism, who was assassinated on September 10th during a college event in Utah.<\/p>\n
Vance shared what he considers to be Charlie’s best advice for young people: “Charlie wanted you more than anything to invest in the things that are worth having, to build a life that is worth building…that most important advice.”<\/p>\n
In a nod to Kirk’s signature debate style, Vance responded to questions on a range of topics \u2014 including immigration policy, religion in public schools, foreign policy, and how to bridge the divide between political parties.<\/p>\n
He also touched on areas in which he believes Republicans and Democrats could work together, including limiting the power of corporate monopolies.<\/p>\n
The appearance also marked the first public event on the tour for Erika Kirk who has taken over Turning Point USA following her husband’s death.<\/p>\n
She thanked the crowd and the TPUSA family for their support and their prayers since the tragedy.<\/p>\n
“You guys have no idea how helpful it is to have all of you in my life because you help me feel even more deeply connected to my husband. And I thank you for that, I thank all of you for that,” she said.<\/p>\n
