TPUSA Insider Leak Alleges Erika Kirk and Chief of Staff Involved in Bizarre Video Controversy

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is once again at the center of controversy after a leaked video allegedly revealed inconsistencies surrounding the organization’s leadership. According to an anonymous insider, the footage raises serious questions about the roles of TPUSA’s new CEO, Erika Kirk, and the organization’s Chief of Staff, Mikey McCoy, in the chaotic events that followed the death of founder Charlie Kirk.

The video — which has not yet been verified — reportedly shows a moment of confusion inside TPUSA headquarters. McCoy can be seen standing calmly with his back turned just as a loud crack is heard, which some claim was the gunshot that killed Charlie Kirk. The footage allegedly contradicts earlier statements suggesting McCoy was covered in blood and panicked during the incident. Soon after, McCoy is said to have called Erika Kirk, shouting “He’s been hit!” — a statement that now appears inconsistent with what the video shows.

The leak quickly went viral, with speculation that Charlie Kirk had uncovered sensitive information about internal operations and donor relations within TPUSA. Several anonymous sources claim he was preparing to expose alleged financial irregularities or political deals, potentially threatening powerful interests within and around the organization. The suggestion that key figures close to him might have been aware of — or involved in — efforts to silence him has fueled online conspiracy theories.

Meanwhile, some former staff members have alleged that Erika Kirk was already exerting authority within TPUSA prior to her husband’s death. One insider claimed that “Erika was acting as CEO before Charlie ever died. She was giving orders, making executive calls, and representing the organization in ways that made others uncomfortable.” These claims, however, remain unverified and have not been substantiated by official records.

Following Charlie Kirk’s death in September 2025, Erika Kirk was officially appointed CEO and Chair of the Board, while Justin Streiff was named Chief Operating Officer. The organization’s public listings do not clearly identify McCoy’s current title, which has only added to the confusion surrounding his role. In her public address shortly after the tragedy, Erika Kirk thanked law enforcement and TPUSA staff for their resilience, pledging to continue her late husband’s mission to “protect freedom and faith in America.”

Despite her words, online speculation has continued to grow. Critics have accused Erika Kirk of using her husband’s death to consolidate power, while supporters insist she is simply stepping into a leadership void during a moment of crisis. Viral social-media posts — including claims that she shared sensitive footage of the incident — have further inflamed tensions within the conservative movement.

As of now, no credible evidence has emerged linking Erika Kirk or Mikey McCoy to any wrongdoing. Authorities have not confirmed whether the leaked video is authentic or whether an internal investigation is underway. For TPUSA, however, the scandal represents a major test of credibility at a time when it seeks to stabilize its leadership and maintain influence in American conservative politics.

Until the footage is independently verified, the claims remain speculative — a mixture of rumor, emotion, and unresolved tragedy surrounding one of the most polarizing figures in recent U.S. political activism.
