Statue of Charlie Kirk Defaced with Red Paint Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters

A newly unveiled statue of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk was defaced with red paint outside Turning Point USA's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, one day after its unveiling and the first anniversary of his assassination. Vandals smeared paint on the statue's face, neck, torso, and left hand, and defaced a Christian sign by replacing 'Jesus' with 'Satan.' Police are investigating; no arrests have been made. Kirk's widow Erika Kirk vowed to repair the statue and uphold his legacy.
