Liberal activist Zee Cohen-Sanchez has vowed to expose alleged “waste, fraud and abuse” in Turning Point USA (TPUSA) with a new documentary.
“What started as just asking questions has turned into something much bigger. The American people deserve to know what’s happening,” Cohen-Sanchez, a Democratic strategist who founded the National Ground Game (NGG), a left-wing youth organizing network working to compete with TPUSA’s influence on college campuses, said in a post on X.
In the promotional video, she said, “Tomorrow I finally expose the receipts, the documentary I’ve been working on at Turning Point USA to expose their waste, fraud and abuse is finally going to come out. And since Andrew Kolvet, the spokesperson of Turning Point USA, watches all of my videos, let this be a direct message to you Andrew, I’m coming for your a**.”

Newsweek has contacted TPUSA, via email, for comment.
Who is Zee Cohen-Sanchez?
Cohen-Sanchez worked on Bernie Sanders' 2016 Democratic White House campaign and on the field program of Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, according to her bio for Sole Strategies, a political consulting and campaign operations firm she founded in 2020.
She is “committed to helping Democratic candidates win seats across the nation,” according to her bio.
Cohen-Sanchez founded National Ground Game in late 2024, saying it would “build the Democratic counter to TPUSA.”
“We turn TPUSA’s tactics against them — campus debates, viral moments, and public engagement — to register voters, drive turnout, and win Democratic elections,” the group says on its website. “Our organizers train students to run an aggressive, results-driven ground game, where every action delivers real victories at the ballot box.”
National Ground Game is currently running the “Unf**k America tour,” launched last year, which Cohen-Sanchez says is behind the TPUSA documentary set to come out at noon on Thursday.
“We dug into TPUSA and what we found will shock you,” the tour’s X profile said in a post.

TPUSA’s Growth After Charlie Kirk’s Death
The announcement from Cohen-Sanchez comes as TPUSA has expanded in multiple ways since the conservative organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated on a college campus on September 10 last year.
Within just 48 hours of Kirk’s death, TPUSA "received over 32,000 inquiries” to start new campus chapters, spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said at the time.
In the month that followed the assassination, TPUSA was flooded with large donations and more chapter requests. In the same time frame, the faith arm of the organization doubled its church network to 8,000 and gained more than 200,000 new followers across the country, Kolvet told Fox News last October.
TPUSA's homepage included options for users to make donations of up to $10,000 after Kirk’s death and two fundraisers raised millions of dollars for the Kirk family.
It is not yet known how much TPUSA has raised following Kirk’s death, because the nonprofit has not completed a full post-death financial reporting cycle and no audited IRS Form 990 filings covering the period have been released.
