Meet The New Charlie Kirk!

Ok, I have to apologize a bit for that headline because it is EXTREMELY tongue-in-cheek.

Allow me to explain…

Meet Brilyn Hollyhan, who is very clearly positioning himself as the “new Charlie Kirk”.

The only problem?

Almost no one seems to like him, yours truly included.

Now look, I don’t want to be mean to this kid, he’s a Freshman in College and on the surface he seems to be fighting for conservative ideals, which is great.

The problem (at least to me) is that he just seems wildly inauthentic and fake and saccharine.

The thing we all loved about Charlie, and the thing we all love about Donald Trump, in addition to their views and stances on important issues, is they are wildly authentic people.  Not everyone is going to like them, and they both have huge followings and huge groups of haters.

But they are real — good, bad and ugly.

This kid?

Well, let’s just say I think Clint Russell summed it up perfectly with this post:  “This kid was created in Langley.”

This kid was created in Langley. It's like they took Charlie Kirk, made him gay, removed any sense of intellectual curiosity or sincerity and pre-loaded him with 100X more psychotically pro-Israel talking points. No one is buying this. pic.twitter.com/B9GUFY3Ti6

Spot on my man!

And let’s just say it’s going even worse for him in the comments:

Here he is bragging about a “SOLD-OUT AUDITORIUM” — except, it just kinda looks like a large classroom and the energy in that room is dead:

A SOLD-OUT auditorium isn’t a bad way to kick off my 10-stop campus tour!

University of Arkansas, thank y’all so much for having me and for coming out tonight!

HUNDREDS of students packed the room and we couldn’t even fit everybody in!

These are the next Charlie Kirks. pic.twitter.com/0nDfmPVDAc

It’s literally like AI programmed this kid to have all the right components but zero heart or authenticity and it all just falls very flat.

Stuff like this doesn’t help…

Looking like you just left the Country Club and flying on a private jet to your “SOLD OUT AUDITORIUM” speaking arrangement is not really the way to win over people:

University of Arkansas, we are on the way now to kick off my 10-stop campus tour!

We’ve already sold two different rooms so we are on the way to the biggest room possible to fit as many students as we can!

See y’all on the ground soon! pic.twitter.com/65yI6Klbcx

Let’s just say the comments to this one were even worse…

My favorite (and most accurate) one is the guy saying it looks like he was groomed by Joel Osteen.  So spot on!

And what kind of a name is Brilyn Hollyhand?

None of us can choose our names, so I get it — it’s not fair to harp on that too much, but it sounds like a girls name from 2020?

This is our little Brilyn, isn’t she so cute?

Brilyn?

Realy?

And what the hell is a “Hollyhand”?

The whole thing feels really weird and fabricated.

But hey, we can’t all have sweet names like Noah Christopher!

To be fair, Laura Loomer likes him and is sticking up for him:

So many people hating on a young man simply because he wants to speak up and honor Charlie Kirk.

Why are people so toxic?

Don’t be so jealous of him because he comes from money and you don’t.

You all know you’re only hating on this young man because he comes from money.…

One polite correction for Laura: I can’t speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself and my objection is not that he “comes from money”.

I don’t even know if that’s true, it could be all big donors.

My objection is the painfully bad lack of authenticity, feeling like this kid was stitched together in a lab and rolled out to the public as if he’s just supposed to be the new Charlie Kirk now.

Sorry, that’s not how this works.

You earn the spot, you don’t just waltz in.

We also hate when we can tell some person or some propaganda is being slammed down our throats, and that’s what this feels like.

This picture illustrates — from obscurity to suddenly the hottest thing ever:

Sorry bud, you may be a nice guy and your heart may be in the right place but to quote that black guy from American Idol: “It’s a no for me dog!”
