Foster Friess, a conservative Christian and wealthy businessman who gave millions to Donald Trump and other Republicans, provided early funding for Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA. In 2012, Friess gave Kirk a five-figure check to launch the group to promote conservative christian politics to young people.
