She's an "ambassador of the Falkirk Center" Jillian Anderson
It seems she's not just Kyle's publicist, but likely also tasked with indoctrinating him. (see underlined portion below)
Check out this, from The Bulwark

Welcome to another exciting edition of the Falkirk Center podcast on the campus of Liberty University, where Christ is King, church is essential, and freedom is everything.
This is how Falkirk Center Executive Director Ryan Helfenbein opens nearly every episode of the centers podcast. Despite his promise, the episodes arent actually exciting. Most episodes are a sour mix of reactionary politics, debunked lies, and unholy combinations of religion and patriotism.
The Falkirk Center for Faith and Liberty is Liberty Universitys think tank, launched in 2019 and named after its co-founders: Jerry Falwell Jr., the longtime Liberty University president, recently forced out, and Charlie Kirk, the political activist and founder of Turning Point USA. If youre already thinking that a FalKirk partnership sounds like the opposite of a good idea, youre correct. Liberty University is the centers institutional home, providing it with funding, staff, office space, camera equipment, and tax-exempt status for receiving donations. In return, Falkirk churns out a steady stream of propaganda aimed at convincing Christian conservatives they are oppressed victims in society, church, politics, culture, child-rearing, and every other dimension of life.

(24,367 posts)That's not far from where my parents used to live. I'm very familiar with that area. The restaurant is actually in Placida, not Englewood, but it's very close by. It is next door to the Gasparilla Marina. I've rented boats out of there.
There is never a small meteorite when you need one.

(7,608 posts)He came across as a kid and looked the part and we know most kids don't pull wings off of flies.... Considering that all 5 charges were decided unanimously, the injustice is clearly embedded in Wisconsin law.
I have long believed that appearance and manner are really important in furthering or limiting the careers of politicians. Joe and Kamala, for example, are attractive and have great smiles. Just as clearly, Trump seldom smiles and never laughs. He looks vindictive and lives the part. I think it tells us a lot about his supporters.
