Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk has canceled her plans to participate in an event at the University of Georgia Tuesday evening after reportedly receiving a credible threat against her life.
I was so looking forward to tonight’s event at the @universityofga with our Vice President @JDVance, but after all our family has been through, I take my security team’s recommendations extremely seriously. Thank you to our amazing Georgia chapter for your support. God bless you… https://t.co/f2rBre9ArJ

Vice President JD Vance revealed the information while speaking at the event himself.
“First of all, I love Erika,” Vance said. “I know that she did get some threats and about two hours ago, as you know Andrew, I was a little worried that we were going to have to cancel the event because Erika was not going to come and she was very worried about it. I talked to Secret Service, and obviously these guys do a very good job, and I said, `you know what, let’s let Erika do what she needs to do for herself and her family.`”
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet and Vance continued to participate in the event without incident.
