(Jewish Group) Turning Point USA Courts Activist Who Said Jews Want the 'Destruction of the Black Co

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Conservative group Turning Point USA has courted a vocally anti-Semitic activist and conspiracy theorist, including him in meetings and inviting him to a retreat for “black influencers” in June.

Activist Bryan Sharpe earned high praise from Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk at the retreat, where Sharpe and other conservatives gathered at an Arizona resort planned how to increase the Trump movement’s appeal to black voters.

“This guy’s the man right here,” Kirk said, gesturing to Sharpe.

Sharpe’s online nickname, “Hotep Jesus,” is a nod to “hoteps,” a right-wing black subculture that preaches black empowerment but is often accused of being misogynistic and homophobic. Sharpe shot to prominence in broader conservative media in April, when Fox News and other conservative media outlets publicized a video of him pranking Starbucks employees by demanding free coffee as a form of reparations.
