The Pentagon has denied a report published this week by NBC News that claimed that military leaders were considering a new recruitment campaign based on honoring the legacy of conservative activist and Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week in Utah. Wilson’s statements came after NBC News published a report by Courtney Kube, which cited two anonymous officials who suggested that Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata was leading an effort to potentially launch a recruitment campaign connected to Kirk’s legacy. Additionally, one of the officials told NBC News that the potential recruitment effort could involve having military recruiters at various Turning Point USA events or advertising for the U.S. military at the chapters. NBC News acknowledged that it was not clear whether the Pentagon would implement a recruitment campaign based on the conservative activist’s legacy. Citing the two anonymous officials, the outlet claimed that some military leaders have warned that a potential recruitment campaign could be viewed as an attempt by the Pentagon to capitalize on Kirk’s assassination.
