View VideoJamestown, CA — Hundreds were on hand for the Reagan Dinner on Saturday evening, put on by the Tuolumne County Republican Central Committee and Tuolumne County Republican Women Federated, at the Chicken Ranch Casino Resort.
The keynote address was delivered by Congressman Tom McClintock, and it centered around the recent death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
He stated, “I am seeing reports now of viral videos, of lifelong Democrats, going online and saying that they cannot be a part of this any longer. They don’t want to ever be associated with a political movement that is trying to excuse or justify such a horrific act, or to mock such a tragedy.”
McClintock spoke about the reactions of Republicans (no riots or violence) and said that thousands of new Charlie Kirks are being unleashed, following his untimely death. McClintock indicated that Kirk’s legacy will live on and expressed optimism about the future of the Republican Party.
