He did nothing wrong.
He actually did his job with the utmost professionalism and care.
And still, I kind of wanted to kick Mitchell.
I'm sorry, Mitchell.
That's how I felt at that time because everything just felt so intrusive.
Like to even think about the world going on felt wrong.
I didn't think anything of her appointment at that time or beyond it other than what I stated publicly, which was that Turning Point USA should have waited and instead appointed an interim CEO to allow Erica the time that she needed to grief rather than her having to deal with everyone questioning her moves as a CEO.
But I also contended with myself, I will say.
I also thought, well, maybe they rushed the decision because it was symbolic and they felt it was necessary, that it was sort of honorific, meaning she wasn't really going to do anything at that time.
But they wanted to announce that this is the direction that it's going.
Which would be fair, like just wanting the announcement to mean something.
And on her end, I thought maybe Erica said yes because she wanted to hold on to some sense of continuity.
Like this is still going to go on.
We're going to get everything going.
And that still could be true, by the way.
That could have been what drove her decision.
But of course, looking in retrospect, it is stunning to me that Erica chose not to bring a single member of her actual family with her to Utah.
Something that just sort of missed at the time.
Just turning point family.
Think about that.
