Charlie Kirk statue outside Turning Point HQ in Arizona is defaced by vandals just days after it was unveiled
A Charlie Kirk statue erected outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Arizona has been vandalized.
The statue, which was unveiled on Thursday – the first anniversary of Kirk’s death – was found covered in red paint on Sunday morning in Phoenix.
Officers with the Phoenix Police Department were called to the scene around 9am after someone reported the defaced memorial.
Another memorial outside the building, which features the late conservative next to a quote that read: ‘May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior,’ was also vandalized.
A large red ‘X’ was drawn on his face, and red paint covered the letters of the quote, as flowers and American flags lay near the memorial, photos show.
It’s unclear if any suspects have been identified.
The Daily Mail contacted the Phoenix Police Department and Turning Point USAfor comment.
Kirk was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
