Media Matters' Madeline Peltz has a very good piece of reporting on the too-appalling-to-be-funny Young Women's Leadership Summit, a shindig put on by the pro-Trump fascist group Turning Point USA, and one which, like all such endeavors, features way more Charlie Kirk than anyone needs or asked for.
Peltz focuses most on the actual messaging—the stuff TPUSA's gathered speakers thought it most important to say, once they had gathered a collection of the most ambitious conservative high school and college women in the country into a single room—and it's nasty, nasty stuff. "Speakers like TPUSA influencer Alex Clark, Fox host Laura Ingraham, and The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens both covertly and overtly discouraged the audience of young women from pursuing high-powered careers," she reports. Clark railed against the young women in the audience for using birth control, blasted "day care," and take-your-pick.
