JD Vance, Nicki Minaj speak to conservative youth at AmericaFest

Vice President JD Vance and rapper Nicki Minaj both took to the stage on the final day of AmericaFest, the annual conference held by the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.

Minaj, who has publicly backed Trump’s claims of violence against Nigerian Christians, was a surprise guest at AmericaFest and shared the stage with Erika Kirk. Minaj’s appearance became awkward when she referred to Vice President JD Vance as an ‘assassin’ in front of Kirk.

Other attendees over the course of the conference included Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro.

This year’s conference was dominated by in-fighting between different wings of the Republican Party.
