This appearance marks the start of a series of governors participating in the tour, which continues following the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk on September 10. Youngkin will share the stage with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly. The Virginia Tech event was scheduled before KirkS death, and the tour now carries on in his memory, with other GOP governors like Spencer Cox, Greg Gianforte, and Jeff Landry also set to speak at upcoming events. Youngkin has publicly honored Kirk&#8217;s legacy through moments of statewide prayer, lowering flags to half-staff, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >condemning derogatory remarks made<\/a> about Kirk after his death. Security measures have been heightened for the Virginia Tech event, including bag restrictions, no-camera policies, and security screenings. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Youngkin to give remarks at Virginia Tech in Turning Point tour<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2239169\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/glenn-youngkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glenn Youngkin<\/a> (R-VA) will make an appearance at the Turning Point USA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/education\/3818985\/tucker-carlson-megyn-kelly-and-gop-governors-headlining-turning-point-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tour<\/a> at Virginia Tech University on Wednesday night, taking the stage as the first of many governors to appear on the national university tour.<\/p>\n<p>Youngkin will make remarks along with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3823080\/judge-finds-doj-likely-broke-court-rules-luigi-mangione-comments\/\">Judge finds DOJ likely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/should-not-begin-in-chaos-trump-asks-judge-to-delay-new-york-trump-organization-case\/\" title=\"Trump requests judge to postpone New York Trump Organization case, arguing against a chaotic start.\">broke court rules<\/a> over Luigi Mangione comments<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3822997\/piers-morgan-shreds-jimmy-kimmel-crocodile-tears\/\">Piers Morgan shreds Jimmy Kimmel: &lsquo;Hard to feel sympathy for his crocodile tears&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3822076\/alex-jones-fbi-agent-sandy-hook\/\">DOJ official retracts letter that implied Sandy Hook FBI agent was under investigation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Charlie&rsquo;s mission continues at @TPUSA.
