Charlie Kirk Memorial Statue Vandalised Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters
A memorial statue of conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside Turning Point USA's Phoenix headquarters was vandalised with red paint days after its unveiling marking the first anniversary of his death. Police confirmed the incident and are investigating. Kirk was fatally shot in September 2025 during a Turning Point event in Utah; the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, has pleaded not guilty and faces murder charges. Kirk's activism drew both strong support and criticism for his conservative views.
