I don’t really care what Turning Point USA does, except when it’s funny. They had a big conference recently, and invited a woman who is both a porn star and writes for the Federalist to attend as a VIP. If you asked me, the latter qualification is what makes her unfit for civilized company, but oh dearie me, that’s not what made attendees clutch their fanny packs.
Absolutely fucking speechless that "conservative" org TPUSA has invited an actual porn star to a conference that minors attend. pic.twitter.com/f2bFbYsVa5

Oh no! Teenagers might see this fully clothed woman walking and talking like a normal human being, who also takes off all of her clothes and has sex with other people outside the con, apparently unlike any other woman in attendance. So Nicholas Fuentes and his groypers spotted this, and because they already hate Charlie Kirk, they shrieked and pointed.
Of course Kirk caved and disinvited her.
We regret to inform you that your SAS 2021 invitation has been revoked,an email from TPUSA stated, posted to Twitter by the adult entertainer.This decision is final. This revocation does not impact application to future events, and we hope that you will consider applying again in the future.However, Love wasn’t buying it and said the Republican Party is “broken” due to TPUSA officials giving her the boot. “Can’t make this shit up lol!! I just watched Charlie Kirk, Dan Bongino, Rick Scott, Kat Timpf, speak about freedom, censorship, how inclusive the ‘movement’ is,” she stated. “And then they had me thrown out of the Turning Point USA conference. The Republican Party is broken.”
Remember, Free Speech über alles!
Right-wingers have become almost impossible to parody, but it’s important to keep trying. They deserve whatever mockery they get. No doubt they’ll accuse their opponents of hypocrisy soon, since projection is their favorite weapon.
No no no – don’t you see? As a right-winger you’re only supposed to screw other people in the metaphorical, not the literal sense.
Also, squeamish anti-sex hypocrisy is pretty much their core brand by now.
Wasn’t there a similar incident (different pr0n-star) at a GOP even in the early 2000’s, during the reign of Bush the Dumberer?
I do have to agree with PZ on this.
Turning Point and Charlie Kirk are horrible people and shouldn’t be around minors.
Or adults, pets, or houseplants.
Apparently, their aversion to all things porn-starish, does not extend to the rejection of president famous for the screwing and subsequent payoff of a porn star. That invokes a cultish adoration of the MAGA response.
I think the Church Lady’s head exploded because Brandi Love actually demonstrates more traditional family values than the rest of the Turning Point jackals. From Wiki, the 48-year old Love was raised Presbyterian, has been married since 1994 and lives with her husband and daughter in North Carolina. Her film genre is “Hot Wife.”
It bums them out that Love is not a hypocrite, and she can argue rings around them politically. They can’t handle the truth!
Love is correct in that the GOP is broken, but this is not the deciding factor.
I’m not seeing this.
I’d never heard of the Federalist website until recently on Pharyngula.
I put it in a Google search and scanned the results.
It seems to be a website for trolls to make up stuff that no one normal would believe.
It’s Qanon without the Q.
Sorry, we didn’t realize you were a porn star when you told us you were a porn star.
There is NOTHING in conservatism that is suitable for children.
@3: Yes, there was a porn star who decided to try getting into politics during the recall election of California’s then governor and threw her thong into the ring as a Republican candidate. Caused a big flap.
Well, pornography has always been an easy target for the self righteous. It would be interesting to look at their browsing history.
@ microraptor, # 10: Haha, I read that as “caused a big fap.”
Oh, no, she has sex! Good conservatives are all descended from long lines of virgins, naturally. :D
Wait, wait… You said she’s a member of the Federalist Society and that she walks around “talking like a normal person.” I think there’s a conflict there…
From the linked article:
Apparently said with zero irony.
This is the mistake I made recently.
The Federalist Society and thefederalist website have no connection with each other except that they are far right wingnut groups.
The similarity in names and views is confusing.
The website is basically written by trolls for trolls. A lunatic fringe site.
It’s conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. Example. Antimaskers and Friends of the Covid-19 Virus fan club members.
It’s a shame we can’t plot the volume of a person’s protest against the size of their pr0n collection. Because I kind of expect the volume to rise with the size of said collection. :-)

Both have Alexander Hamilton spinning in his grave, I suspect.
Regarding the graphic: The 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers was way better than the 1978 version.
As Billy Preston explained, “Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’ […] I’m not tryin’ to be your hero, ‘Cause that zero is too cold for me (Brr), I’m not tryin’ to be your highness ‘Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah.”
Here’s where I come down on this: What any individual adult finds attractive or stimulating should be free of shaming from any one else, so long as it’s consensual among adults. When an individual’s personal politics and world view are able to be taken into account-as well they should-the discovery of that person being a trump supporter and everything that goes with that should offer no repercussions for bailing on them.
I was on a date many years ago and we were getting familiar with each other over drinks and conversation when she asked me if I had ever slept with a black person. I wanted to be clear in what prompted that question and as the short evening went on it was clear she was coming at this as a racist. Brandi Love might not be a racist but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that she was racist adjacent. In a weird way I can agree with TPUSA rejecting her but I can’t understand why TPUSA doesn’t reject themselves.
@ weylguy. # 19: Maybe, but the 1978 version had better screeching.
Maybe she’s too old.
I used to like her work. Now I won’t be watching her anymore. Or is that cancel culture?
cjcolucci @ 24
Naah, it is liking the good music Ted Nugent did before he went to the crazy side of the Force. (But I would not recommend any porn film starring Ted Nugent)
“We regret to inform you that the racist duck drinks milkshake”
(Sorry, I had to)
Odd, I thought that the righties were against cancel culture.
Oh wait, that’s culture in general…
Still, I’m willing to bet that if the porn star were male, he’d be allowed to attend.
What a gift! Not only does it show their hypocrisy on free speech and on cancel culture, it also confirms that
*They are not sex-positive but anti-sex
*They are misogynistic
*They bow to pressure and don’t have the courage to listen to people they disagree with
*They slut shame
Etc., etc.!
I eagerly await the condemnation of people like Christina Hoff Sommers!
