Overview
- Auburn University’s Neville Arena hosted a Turning Point Tour stop on Nov. 5, drawing a packed crowd with lines forming hours before doors opened.
- Eric and Lara Trump appeared alongside U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville and commentator Benny Johnson at the indoor, speaker-led event.
- Eric Trump phoned President Donald Trump from the stage, and the president praised Auburn and paid tribute to Charlie and Erika Kirk.
- Tuberville eulogized Charlie Kirk, urged students to carry on his work, and described the Sept. 10 killing as an assassination by a “deranged leftist coward.”
- Admission was free on a first-come basis, a small group of protesters gathered outside, and the tour is slated to continue with additional campus stops including UC Berkeley.
