A memorial statue of slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized just days after its unveiling outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. The statue was defaced with red spray paint, particularly on the neck area where Kirk was shot, prompting Turning Point to seek accountability and restore the statue. Kirk, who co-founded Turning Point and was an ally of Donald Trump, was killed during an event at Utah Valley University, and the accused shooter faces a possible death penalty after pleading not guilty.
