Summary

Conspiracy theories are exploding online after Charlie Kirk’s assassination and Riley Gaines addresses the claims head-on. She also discusses the growing division inside the conservative movement. Riley shares why she stayed quiet at first, what she saw firsthand, and why truth matters more than “unity,” especially with the 2026 midterms approaching. Finally, Riley also reacts to the culture of performative outrage, explains why the conservative coalition is fracturing, and calls out “bad actors” who don’t represent conservative values.
