Charlie Kirk statue vandalized outside TPUSA’s Phoenix HQ days after it was unveiled

A brand-new statue of slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk was vandalized in Arizona — just days after it was unveiled for the one-year anniversary of his death.

The 8-foot statue of Kirk at Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters, as well as a nearby poster memorial in front of the statue, was defaced with red paint overnight Sunday, AZ Family reported.

The statue was installed on Thursday to mark a year since the 31-year-old TPUSA co-founder was gunned down at an open-mic event at Utah Valley University.

New York Post front page with headline "FULL OF HATE" and articles about Tyler Robinson, a Mormon student, arrested for ranting about Charlie Kirk before a shooting and bullets etched with anti-fascist, anti-capitalist screeds.

Photos from AZ Family showed the red paint smeared over the statue of Kirk in a “freedom shirt,” including a frowning face emblazoned on his chest.

It’s unclear whether police have identified any suspects in the vandalism.

TPUSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is a developing story.
