Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) covered up “hateful” graffiti targeted at Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday at Utah Valley University (UVU).
In a post on X, Cruz shared photos of himself painting over graffiti on the side of the highway with the words, “f**k Charlie Kirk” written in white paint. Cruz added that the Texas Department of Transportation had been notified and that they would “remove it expeditiously.”
“Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston,” Cruz wrote in his post. “TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure sure they will remove it expeditiously.”
“But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore,” Cruz added.
In a video posted to X, Cruz was seen painting over the graffiti with white paint.
Since Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while having a respectful dialogue with students at UVU, employees from several companies across the nation have been fired for mocking and celebrating Kirk’s assassination.
Breitbart News reported that a public relations employee who had worked for the Carolina Panthers was fired after mocking Kirk’s assassination, and an assistant cheer coach at a high school in Idaho was fired after posting a video celebrating Kirk’s death.
A 19-year-0ld man was reportedly arrested on Sunday after he allegedly vandalized a memorial for Kirk that was outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters.
