This week, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is holding a huge conference in Florida. It is a star studded event with conservative notables ranging from Donald Trump to Megyn Kelly and many more. It looked to be THE place to be in the conservative sphere.
Apparently, what looks great on paper has turned into a bit of a nightmare according to some reports on Twitter.
“Let us in! Let us in!” a group of people is not allowed into the main area, after they said they waited for hours in line in the garage “Send Charlie out here” woman asks Charlie Kirk to be brought out to let them in #ACTCON2023 pic.twitter.com/pE9i8S162q

Line of people waiting to get into TP Action #ACTCON2023 where Former President Trump will later be speaking. As temperature keeps rising, at least one person needed medical attention and where wheeled out. pic.twitter.com/XTZQsgknM7

Waiting in line in Florida in a hot parking garage must have felt like one of the levels of hell.
Charlie Kirk sold too many tickets to his event w/Trump & people are pissed & can’t get in: “Send Charlie out here! After standing on line for 4 hours in 115 degree heat! 100s of people came from all over the country! I just spent $1K to fly here from NYC!” 🎥 @ScooterCasterNY pic.twitter.com/T4A2YxkpIN

Allegations on Twitter claim the event was oversold.
Priority seating for the top knob-polishers, ballcuppers, election-deniers and echo-chamber tuners. The rest of you schlubs enjoy the broiling hot garage. #ACTCON2023

wasn’t the whole appeal of turning point that it generated excitement amongst college kids? how can turning point be helpful to the right if they don’t garner support from the youth?#ACTCON2023 #ActCon pic.twitter.com/AyQdwyIv9P

Still others complained this event was billed as targeting young people and college students, yet there seem to be very few of those present.
Oh and we paid $47 for two salads and two cokes. 👍🏻👍🏻

Just watched two elderly people pass out in the line in a parking garage in S Florida.
Been in line over an hour and a half. And I’m in the VIP line.
Never again, @charliekirk11 @TPUSA
Brilliant. 🙄

This is literally the worst fking event I’ve ever been to.

No, but they only had one set of plastic ware left so my wife and I had to take turns using the fork. #notjoking

This is really not good.
@charliekirk11 needs to give you a refund

Those tickets cost hundreds of dollars. Hopefully, they can work out the logistics issues very soon.

When your event is being compared to ‘Fyre Festival’, you know there are problems.
Lawd, @TPUSA had to start handing out the church fans. #TPUSAFyreFest https://t.co/p25Rq1jPun

Unfortunately, church fans do very little to help with the heat in July in Florida.

I heard it might have been oversold and overbooked. They are giving speakers only about 15 minutes on stage.

To be fair, there have been reports of initial frustration that turned around and ended with some good experiences. Love those silver linings!
CRAZY long lines outside in heat for hours and then inside, but they had a great turn out and we saw a lot of good friends at Turning Piont today. 🇺🇲 @JohnFischer1776 @danforfl @trueamericanfun @TPUSA pic.twitter.com/ntMkGVocuF

Well, after a VERY rough start, the @TPUSA event got significantly better with some very good speeches.
Vivek got a standing ovation mid-speech. @charliekirk11 and Megyn Kelly were very good on the cultural Marxist we can no longer show tolerance towards and, well, Tucker… pic.twitter.com/TD7KY9z56Q

Let’s hope things continue to look up and attendees have a great time tomorrow with no long lines and plenty of forks!
Spineless Rino party should have used the funds to start a Trump government well-regulated militia bought arms & ammunition to launch the proper attack against a Democrat fraudulently elected domestic terrorist and weaponized government & agencies of a coup d’etat Banana Republic fraudulent elected party of pedophiles and Antichrist domestic terrorist attacking the last free constitutional country in the world
yeh…summertime furnace heat…turns up the blues…Hang Tough Patriots!!!
If it’s that hot in FL, imagine what it will be like in hell for eternity! Get right with God now before it’s too late!
Hope you Magadonians had fun. Trump will never be president again. You should put your energy behind someone who can win.
Agreed. I’m for Vivek.
Piss off you piece of shit Liberal.
like your installed Dictator actually won. You fuckers should be run out of this country coast to coast.
Agreed, the elections are now rigged so yeah, Trump will lose again by at the system of cheating by your insurrectionist party of criminals called Demoncrats! This time we’ll all be at your throat so good luck with that!!!
