Some of us have never been ashamed to be White….Red State on Sunday, December 21. 2025 ran an article headlined, “‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ – JD Vance Brings the Heat to TPUSA AmFest.”
It’s been a busy weekend at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona, with speakers from DNI Tulsi Gabbard to Tucker Carlson to House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-4) to the Target employee who was harassed for wearing a Charlie Kirk T-shirt. On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance was there to deliver the closing keynote speech, and he delivered fire.

He honored slain TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot down by an assassin in September.
Vice President JD Vance closed out Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest Sunday with a call for action, encouraging the audience to “promise” to stand for Charlie Kirk’s principles.
Vance recalled that in the days following Kirk’s assassination, he rewatched video of the incident over and over, staying up late nights, trying to search for clues and “researching conspiracy theories.”
“I owed it to Charlie,” he said, adding, “I was consumed by fear.”
“It is better to die a patriot than to live a coward,” Vance said, adding that Kirk’s killing was a “kick in the teeth.”
In closing, VP Vance added, White people no longer need to feel ashamed, and the crowd went wild over that one.
“It’s nice that people went wild over VP Vance saying that White people didn’t need to feel ashamed anymore, but I’ve been telling White people the same thing for decades.” said Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “It usually takes a devastating event to wake White people up, but that feeling of pride in oneself and America usually fades pretty fast because people want to see change immediately, and it doesn’t always happen that way. For instance, look how people, White in general gathered together after 9/11. Sure, some still feel a strong connection of pride, but for many, it faded away throughout the years. Now with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, White people are again feeling pride in themselves, our country, and most importantly in God. I feel many are chasing after religion blindly, not looking at facts, or realizing as Whites who they really are, but for now, let’s say it’s a good thing people are turning back towards God. Now is the time to be reaching out to these White people and explaining to them who they truly are, and the covenant that God made with them. VP Vance made the audience go wild, imagine the reaction if the White people knew that their ancestors were the Israelites spoken of in the Bible, and that the covenant God made with them, carries on to this day! A true warrior can expect the things like what happened to Charlie Kirk. If you’re White and Christian, you have the same target on your back by spreading God’s word, but we must stand tall and fight for our race without fear of our enemies. Some of us may fall, but we can’t let fear silence us. When one of us falls, 10 must take their place. We must take advantage of the wakening of White Christians by reaching out to them without fear of persecution. It’s what Jesus did, and the torch has been passed down to us. Our country’s survival depends on God’s true warriors.”
