Texas Man Arrested After Threatening TPUSA’s Erika Kirk

“We refuse to let threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and inspiring gathering June 5–7 in San Antonio for 2,500+ ladies attending the Women’s Leadership Summit!”

Erika Kirk, who assumed leadership of Turning Point USA following the killing of her husband and the group’s co-founder, Charlie Kirk, at a TPUSA event in Utah last year, has reportedly faced a steady stream of threats since taking over the organization.

Those security concerns intensified in April when Kirk canceled a scheduled appearance at a TPUSA event at University of Georgia after organizers said she received what they described as “very serious threats.”

The man who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, has had a series of court appearances following his arrest in September.

In mid-April, the judge overseeing the trial unsealed a ballistics report from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after the report was unable to definitively match a bullet fragment to the suspected murder weapon.
