An 8-foot statue of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was maliciously defaced with red spray paint at the organization’s Arizona headquarters, prompting a police investigation into this attack on conservative values.
An 8-foot statue of Charlie Kirk, the late founder of the patriotic and conservative Turning Point USA, was discovered covered in red spray paint at the group’s Phoenix, Arizona headquarters. This act of vandalism also targeted a nearby memorial poster, which was painted over in a clear display of disrespect.
Turning Point USA announced it will restore the statue and replace the damaged signs, and is actively reviewing security footage and cooperating with law enforcement to bring those responsible for this cowardly attack to justice.
The statue was installed on September 10 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Kirk’s tragic death, after he was shot at a Turning Point USA event in Utah—a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who stand up for conservative principles.
