Hundreds of University of Alabama students and political figures filled Two Dimes, Tuscaloosa’s newest event venue on the Strip, for a Wednesday evening memorial to conservative political activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University last week.
The memorial was led by a handful of conservative social media influencers, including CJ Pearson, Savannah Chrisley, and Amir Odom.
Kieghan Nangle, a UA Alumna and Executive Assistant to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, also spoke to the crowd, as did Tuscaloosa entrepreneur Ric Mayers.
Mayers, who is a co-owner of Two Dimes, opened the evening, saying, “This event is not about red versus blue. This event tonight is about red, white, and blue.”
