A 12-year-old influencer is trending on social media after he got into a heated debate with Mike Lindell and Charlie Kirk at the Democratic National Convention earlier this week. 

Who is Knowa?

Knowa is a 12-year-old influencer and content creator with more than 66,000 followers on his X, formerly Twitter, page. He was the youngest attendee invited to the Democratic National Convention.

Why did Knowa get into an argument with Mike Lindell?

A video posted on Knowa’s X page on Aug. 21, Lindell can be seen briefly debating election conspiracy theories with Knowa. 

"They just found 257,000 votes ... that are missing from the 2020 election!" an animated Lindell says while pointing to Knowa.

 "So, your source is 'trust me, bro?'" Knowa responds. "You haven't given me any last names ... You're full of crap!"

The MyPillow CEO showed up to the DNC in disguise with his mustache shaved off wearing a hat and sunglasses. 

Lindell is a big supporter of former President Donald Trump and his unproven claims of a "stolen" 2020 presidential election.

What happened in the exchange between Knowa and Charlie Kirk?

In another video, also from Aug. 21, Knowa asks Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk to explain why he said the Civil Rights Act was a "mistake." 

"I have a question. Why did you say the Civil Rights Act bill should be overturned?" Knowa asks Kirk. 

"I didn’t say that I said it was a mistake," Kirk replies. "Why? That’s crazy. I wouldn’t be here, that’s trouble," Knowa retorts. The video ends with a caption in the footage that reads "This man is insane and couldn’t even answer the question."
