–
Neutral summary
An eight-foot bronze statue of conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside Turning Point USA's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, was defaced with red paint on Sunday, just days after it was unveiled on September 10, the one-year anniversary of his assassination. Vandals also damaged a nearby memorial poster, covering the word “Jesus” and crossing out Kirk's face on a sign reading “May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior.” The Phoenix Police Department confirmed receiving reports of the vandalism. Turning Point USA said the statue will be moved inside the headquarters for security reasons.
