California city [Westminster] renames street to ‘Charlie Kirk Way’

The sign, which was approved by the Westminster City Council last Nov. in a 4-1 vote, honors the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA.

The installation across from Westminster City Hall comes nearly eight months after Kirk was shot and killed while speaking to college students at an event in Utah.

Westminster Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen:

“As Mayor, I am proud that Westminster, CA is the first city in the country to dedicate an official Charlie Kirk Way. We honor Charlie for his faith, his love of country and his devotion to his amazing family. We are inspired by @mrserikakirk and all she’s done to carry on Charlie’s work,” Nguyen wrote on Facebook.

City officials have also designated Oct. 14, Kirk’s birthday, as Charlie Kirk Day in Westminster.

The leftists will destroy the signs. I hope they have cameras to catch the perps.

You know darn well what’s gonna happen. There’ll be no end to graffiti removal and sign replacement.

Unfortunately, I’ll bet you’re right.
I give it two weeks before somebody tries to pull that street sign down. It will be bent over double, like one of those poor sapling trees planted near a walkway, that some hoodlum tries to snap in two.
Attempts will definitely be made by Memorial Day later this month.

I miss the old Westminster Cafe on 405.

Very strong Vietnamese right wing area.

The only thing sweeter would be if they had renamed “Barack Obama Blvd” or “George Floyd Street.”

Every town with a MLK BL. needs a Charlie Kirk one.
