BLEXIT visits Howard University during homecoming after Kirk assassination
Turning Point USA's BLEXIT chapter organized an outreach event at Howard University during the school's homecoming weekend on October 24, 2025, weeks after the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. BLEXIT activists distributed materials and engaged students on conservative policy positions. The visit sparked demonstrations from student groups who viewed the outreach as exploiting the Kirk assassination to expand recruitment at a historically Black university.
