Scenes from Charlie Kirk’s ‘Culture War’ event

Forrest Czarnecki
October 23, 2019

The Young Democratic Socialists of America, members of Antifa, the Colorado Proud Boys and people who were unable to enter the University Center for the Arts took to opposite sides of Remington Street to protest and support Charlie Kirk’s controversial “Culture War” event Oct. 22. The conservative speaker and personality hosted Donald Trump Jr. as a guest, where the two political figures and other guests discussed conservative values, socialism in the U.S. and American politics. 

This gallery shows scenes from the protests outside of the event, as captured by Collegian Photo Director Matt Tackett, Photo Editor Anna von Pechmann and Editor-in-Chief Forrest Czarnecki.

That will make it impossible, or at least much more difficult, for anti-abortion movements to weaponize or co-opt language of eugenics to do their work.
