Overview

• Brilyn Hollyhand, 19, is promoting a 10-stop “One Conversation at a Time” campus tour that he says is linked to Turning Point USA.
• TPUSA chief operating officer Tyler Bowyer publicly rejected any formal affiliation and faulted Hollyhand for past support of Ronna McDaniel.
• A video showing Hollyhand on a private jet with luxury trappings drew sharp criticism from conservative influencers who questioned his authenticity.
• Hollyhand said a hometown friend provided the jet for part of the trip as he positions himself as a mentee of Kirk and a rising campus speaker.
• The dispute has split right-wing figures, with critics labeling him donor-driven and defenders like Laura Loomer urging conservatives to give him space.
