A porn star was kicked out of a conservative event targeted at high schoolers after complaints from outraged parents.
Brandi Love, 48, attended the 'Student Action Summit' with Turning Point USA in Tampa, Florida Saturday, and posed for photos in front of exhibits and a 'save America' tour bus.
But was suddenly kicked out after backlash from parents and Christian organizers.
But Love is capitalizing on the attention by selling t-shirts poking fun at one of the conference's founders.
She is selling shirts with the slogan 'I triggered Charlie Kirk' on her Only Fans website.
Kirk founded the pro-Trump organization in 2012 when he was 18-years-old. He has served as TPUSA's executive director since.

Love decided to exploit the incident by creating a t-shirt with the words ,'I triggered Charlie Kirk,' offering it for sale on her Only Fans website.
Love initially arrived at the Tampa Convention Center as an enthusiastic VIP guest, posting numerous photos of herself on Twitter with the caption, 'It's good to be around so many young conservatives. Gives me some hope!'
But Christian conservatives immediately began criticizing her attendance on social media, slamming the organization's decision to allow an adult film star to attend an event targeted at 15 and 16-year-olds.
Many complained Love's presence clashed with conservative values, while others pointed out that minors were in attendance.

Within hours, Love received an email from organizers that she was no longer invited to be part of the event.
'We regret to inform you that your SAS 2021 invitation has been revoked,' an email from the organization read, according to an image Love posted on Twitter. 'This decision is final. This revocation does not impact application to future events, and we hope that you will consider applying again in the future.'
Love tweeted that she had just seen Kirk, Dan Bongino, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), and Kat Timpf 'speak about freedom, censorship, how inclusive the 'movement' is' only to be 'thrown out.'
She followed up adding, 'The Republican Party is broken.'

In a statement to Newsweek, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet addressed Love's attendance by saying: 'As a matter of policy, TPUSA does not allow adult entertainers, influencers, or brands to participate in its events designed for minors.'
'This was not a decision intended to be unkind to anyone, but in the interest of the student attendees in attendance, and their thousands of concerned parents, Kolvet added.
This isn't the first time TPUSA has faced criticism.
Last December, TPUSA was condemned by conservatives when the event's sponsor, Bang Energy, had its 'Bang Girls' blast free cash into the crowd of college and high school students.
'Folks, we are trying to get that thing [money cannon] rolling,' Bang Energy CEO Jack Owoc said before cash was dispensed at the conference centered on fighting socialism.
