A newly unveiled statue honouring Charlie Kirk has been vandalised with red paint outside Turning Point USA's headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, just days after it was unveiled to mark the first anniversary of the conservative activist's death.
The vandalism has drawn angry reactions online, particularly because paint was placed around the statue's neck, which supporters interpreted as a reference to the area where Kirk was fatally shot during a campus event in September 2025. Phoenix police are investigating the incident.
