A display at Turning Point USA's (TPUSA) annual AmericaFest convention in Phoenix, Arizona, has drawn widespread condemnation for recreating the tent where the organisation's founder, Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot, allowing attendees to take photographs in front of it.
The installation replicates the booth where Kirk was assassinated on Sept. 10, 2025 while hosting a political event at Utah Valley University, and has become a central feature of the four-day conference. Attendees have been seen posing for selfies with the tent backdrop, an act critics have described as morbid and insensitive.
