Photos: Epstein truthers, Trump-obsessed youth, converge in Tampa for TPUSA Student Action Summit

The future of the Republican Party took over downtown Tampa last weekend as Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit brought Trump-loyalists like his son Don. Jr., Border Czar Tom Homan, Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, locally-based U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and others to the convention center.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who recently stopped at MacDill Air Force Base to talk shit about his own troops, was also on the bill along with Trump-endorsed candidate for Florida governor U.S. Rep. Byron Donald.

It wasn’t a total Trump-love fest though.

Others inside were also openly asking the Epstein question.

The Washington Post says that at the conference, Fox News host Laura Ingraham was met with boos when she asked the crowd, “How many of you are satisfied with the results of the Epstein investigation?”

One man even wore a cape that said, “You can’t erase the list,” alluding to an alleged list of clients that did business with the convicted sex offender who died in state custody.

And that was just inside.

Nearby at Tampa City Hall on Saturday, protestors rallied against ICE arrests and deportations happening across the U.S.

Protesters clashed outside the Tampa Convention Center, too, but Creative Loafing Tampa Bay is waiting for any arrest reports from the Tampa Police Department.
