The assassination of 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been eye-opening for the right. The radical leftists responsible for murder, assault, rioting, and property destruction in this country are just the tip of the iceberg. Their actions are supported by a disturbing number of Americans serving as teachers, doctors, and other professionals.
While many of their social media celebrations are being discovered and they’re facing accountability for their disgusting support of Kirk’s murder, other validations can’t be avoided by turning off one’s phone. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took swift action in Houston after motorists were exposed to sick graffiti on Highway 59.
Cruz painted over a profane message about Kirk until the Texas Department of Transportation could remove it properly.
"Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston," Cruz said on X. "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 previously described Kirk as a "close friend" and one who was "courageous, brilliant, compassionate, and powerfully honest."
They met when Kirk was 18 and Turning Point USA was just a "nascent idea."
This week was a really hard week — I’m heartbroken.

I’ve known Charlie since he was 18 years old.
We remember him on Verdict: https://t.co/JtbTZlnf30 pic.twitter.com/vvImRRNxGn
