VIDEO: Never Give Up: Erika Kirk Says After New Charlie Kirk Statue Vandalized
The words "evil never sleeps" are some of the truest words ever spoken, and that has certainly been the case in recent days, with the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination coming and going, and radical leftists doing their predictably hateful things in response.
As RedState reported, Turning Point USA held a rally at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Thursday to honor Kirk's memory and legacy, complete with speeches from conservative icons like Glenn Beck. But "far-left student organizations, led by UVU's Students for a Democratic Society, had plans to protest the event." UVU was the university where the TPUSA co-founder was on hand for a speaking engagement on September 10, 2025, when he was gunned down in cold blood by an assassin.
There were also some pretty disgusting "Kirkiversary" stunts planned, with some of the most widely shared ones on social media showing junior and senior high school students, as well as college students, doing dances that mimicked how Kirk was murdered:
On Thursday, a statue of Kirk was unveiled at TPUSA's Phoenix headquarters. Here's video from the event:
"This is what Erika referred to as Charlie's 'Jordan' moment"
Tyler Bower, the COO of Turning Point Action, discusses the details of Charlie Kirk's newly unveiled statue.
Highlighting the cross necklace that Charlie always wore, the TPUSA branded MAGA hat in hand and his "Jordan moment", the pose he was often in while throwing TPUSA hats out to thousands of college students across the nation.
Sickeningly, sometime in the overnight hours from Saturday night going into Sunday, the statue and a nearby poster were vandalized with red paint:
TPUSA shared more info on X, noting that they had been reviewing footage and "are working with law enforcement to identify who did this and hold them accountable.":
We will restore the statue and replace the signs, but we are also reviewing the footage of the incident and are working with law enforcement to identify who did this and hold them accountable.
But vandalism like this is not funny, it's diabolical. The incident happened in the middle of the night because evil never sleeps. Beyond spray painting on the neck and face, they made the intentional decision to cross out the name of Jesus on a nearby sign.
