Jordan Klepper hit the Gen-Z MAGA trail and found a guy who likes to be told what to say by right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk.
“The Daily Show” co-host visited a Turning Point USA event to discover why its co-founder, Kirk, is a “pied piper” for the expanding constituency of Trump youth.

Kirk is notoriously known for comments like, “If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified’” and “white college-indoctrinated women will ruin America if we let them.”
In the segment shown Monday, one dude in a MAGA hat tried to explain how Kirk gives him a voice when his own words fail him. As the man struggled to explain, Klepper interjected, “You needed somebody to be more articulate for you” and “You’re looking for somebody to put words in your mouth.”
“Yes, well, not like that exactly,” the man responded, before ultimately agreeing with Klepper’s assessment.

″[Kirk] puts the words in your mouth,” Klepper clarified.
“Yeah, making enough sense for me so I memorize what he says, then I can freely say it,” the guy replied.
“Exactly, so basically his words become your own,” Klepper said.
“Yes,” the Trump supporter answered.
“His thoughts become your own,” Klepper said.
“It’s awesome,” the man responded.
