Jeff Webb Dies at 76 Jeff Webb, a conservative media owner and longtime supporter of Turning Point USA, has died at the age of 76. The Post Millennial confirmed his death and said it was reportedly the result of a fall while he was playing pickleball. Webb was known in right-leaning media circles through his ownership and publishing work with Human Events and The Post Millennial, and he often appeared at events tied to the younger activist wing of the movement. He is survived by his wife, Gina Webb, along with their children and grandchildren. From Cheerleading to Publishing Before his name showed up in political media, Webb built a major business career in cheerleading. He founded Varsity Spirit in 1974, and the company grew into one of the largest organizations in the country for competitions, training camps, and related events. He later launched the International Cheer Union, which expanded the sport abroad and now operates in more than 100 countries.

During an interview, he reportedly admitted strangling the woman and slashing her throat several times. He also said drugs had left him in an altered state and claimed he was trying to put her out of her misery. That explanation belongs in the long museum of excuses nobody asked for. The…
