Just days after the first anniversary of former podcaster and profressional dude bro Charlie Kirk's death, a memorial statue located just outside of the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoeniz, AZ, was brutally vandalized.

TPUSA confirmed the vandalism in a post on its social media account, writing, "We will restore the statue and replace the signs, but we are also reviewing the footage of the incident and are working with law enforcement to identify who did this and hold them accountable."

"But vandalism like this is not funny, it’s diabolical. The incident happened in the middle of the night because evil never sleeps. Beyond spray painting on the neck and face, they made the intentional decision to cross out the name of Jesus on a nearby sign."

The organization rounded their post off with a Bible quote from John 15:18: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

Please note that in John 15:18, Jesus was referring to himself, as he spoke to his followers before his crucifixion, because apparently Charlie Kirk is basically Jesus now.

But I digress.

TPUSA's post accompanied two photos, one showing a statue of the deceased podcaster covered in red paint, particularly in the neck and face area, as well as a memorial sign/banner that was also defaced in red spray paint, with an X over Kirk's face:

Fox News posted video footage of the statue and sign, capturing the full scope of the vandalism:

Kirk was assassinated on September 10 of last year while in the middle of a debate with students at Utah Valley University, on the very first leg of his "American Comeback Tour." He was quite literally mid-sentence, debating UVU student Hunter Kozac, when he was shot in the neck -- all of which was captured on video.

Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with Kirk's murder and faces a potential death penalty if convicted.
