'Next Charlie Kirk' Hypes Gen Z Turnout in Room of Boomers

Rising MAGA influencer Brilyn Hollyhand embarrassed himself by touting the incredible Gen Z turnout at his Alabama speaking event while proving the crowd was mostly comprised of boomers.

Hollyhand, who some conservatives have seen as the protegé of the late Charlie Kirk, spoke at the University of Alabama Friday night. On his social media accounts, the 19-year-old activist wrote, “Standing room only at the University of Alabama last night is more proof that this isn’t a fad or trend: Gen Z is off the sidelines and in the fight and our movement is stronger than ever!

“Gen Z’s time isn’t in the future. It’s today!”

However, the photograph Hollyhand posted of the speaking event hardly looks like the youthful jubilee he described. Instead, the crowd looks largely comprised of senior citizens.
