A newly unveiled statue of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.
The statue was found with red spray-paint. A nearby poster memorial in front of the statue was vandalized with red paint as well.

I don’t cry for a man who called for the stoning of gays.
Remember that guy who spent $10k making a statue of Kirk? It’s not even that statue they have outside lol. Some how two statues of this man!?
The pose they chose for him is throwing hats? Really?
yes that exactly what he is, giving away promotional maga hats, so people will be drawn into his manoshpere.
Yeah, throwing hats flamboyantly lmao
My gut says there’s a 40% chance they did this themselves to try and gain sympathy. They thought Kirk would be their Horst Wessel, but public opinion never went their way. Less than a month in and they couldn’t even get Jimmy Kimmel fired. A year in and everyone finds the Kirk widow off-putting. Thanks to Candice Owens, they’re even reduce to arguing with own supporters about whether Erika Kirk and the Mossad had Charlie killed. I could see this being a last ditch effort to regain narrative control.
candance ownes is pretty much who kept kirk’s “legacy alive” since she was questioning the motive behind his assasination. "reporting on the billionaire backer associated with israel(since shes antisemetic she would report on this) was pressuring kirk to stop associating with TUCKER CARLSON. candace also dint like erika kirk.
Idk if it were a false flag thing they probably would have spraypainted some dumb shit like “A TRANS ANTIFA DID THIS MUHAHAHA” or “IM SO GAY FOR CHARLIE” or something obvious like that, because they lack subtlety.
or “left is best” as was done previously
Good.
It’s a communal art project. Everyone gets to participate.
A distinct improvement if you ask me. I’m sort of an expert.
Very sad, folks. Very sad. Just look at what they did the new brand new statue. The thing was only just unveiled! Goodness!
Next time they should use thermite…
They marked the neck at least.
That was there before
Charlie wouldn’t want the truth washed away
Counting or not counting gang vandalism?
I think a paintball gun would be a better choice next time. They’ll put up more cameras, another fence, etc. A gun would be faster and they could stand back a ways.
Such an American response. I love it.
They should leave it like this. That thing is never staying clean.
That paint is highly washable.
Pellet-Mark Oil-Based Paintballs are durable for 4-6 years (on trees) and are designed to be fired from a .68 caliber paintball pellet gun to mark hard to reach targets from a distance. They are used to mark trees and animals from across ravines, over difficult to traverse ground, across streams, from horseback, vehicle or helicopter.
I mean really, who saw that coming?
I can think of one person who didn’t
Paint? Pfft, call me when Kirk’s memorial is covered in shit, urine, and vomit, and even then it’d be kept too clean for my tastes.
No idea why you’re being downvoted. Kirk’s statue deserves to be used as a public restroom, much like the man’s corpse.
Those disgusting vandals painted red on his shirt, face, hand and hat!
That spot on his neck is just accuracy tho. Should’ve been there to begin with
If turning point had any decency at all I would feel like this was inappropriate. And so I say, GOOD!
Pretty sure it was delivered like that. Nothing to see here.
