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.

    Instead of a statue, I think a fitting tribute would be to segregate population of a town into “us” and “them”, build a wall, then establish a Checkpoint Charlie at the crossing. You know, follow historically tried ideas.

    are also reviewing the footage of the incident and are working with law enforcement to identify who did this and hold them accountable.

    Right, now - get on those Epstein Files. They’re right there, and the perps are right there. Why not them first? Women and children first … so com’on. Two step it.

      The /c/cpnservative is mostly critical of conservatives, from what I’ve seen. They just took the name out of the equation

      Anyone can die

      But it takes a special kind of person to become the victim of gun violence while publicly defending gun violence.

      Absolute legend.

          “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

          “And, of course, our hearts go out to the victims in Kentucky for every one of these situations. But we cannot allow them to emotionally hijack the narrative.”

          “You must use reason when you look at these things,” Kirk added. “A free society comes with a cost, and that cost is worth it. Liberty is worth it.”

          Kirk died doing what he really believed in: getting shot to protect our right to shoot him.
