Organizers instructed participants to “Be as loud as you can. Be as obnoxious as you can. Make these people hate us. Make sure they know you hate them.”
A group of far-left activists descended on Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit over the weekend, intent on heckling attendees, ridiculing the event, and creating as much disruption as possible. The three-day summit, which began Friday at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, took place under heightened security after months of organizing by activist groups opposed to the event.
The security concerns were not merely hypothetical. Just one week before the summit, authorities arrested a Texas man accused of threatening to bomb the gathering and kill TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk in a series of social media posts.
Local media outlet KSAT reported:
A San Antonio man was arrested early Thursday after he was accused of threatening to kill Erika Kirk ahead of her appearance next week at a Turning Point USA event downtown.
Jacob Wenske, 26, faces two felony charges of making a terroristic threat causing public fear, charging paperwork obtained by KSAT Investigates shows.
San Antonio police investigators said Wenske replied to an April social media post about the group’s three-day women’s leadership summit by writing, “I know exactly where to bomb.”
In a separate post within the same thread, Wenske wrote, “I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort,” a warrant for his arrest states.
An email from an account registered to Wenske stated, “Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!! America will live on without those scum on this earth. Every Christian nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single Turning Point rally and event,” according to the warrant.
By far, the most grotesque spectacle of the weekend occurred when an activist dressed up as Charlie Kirk and staged a mock reenactment of his assassination in front of attendees. Frontlines, TPUSA’s media arm, reported that protesters had been “chanting that Kirk ‘deserved to die’ all morning outside of the event.”
While there is no indication that the protesters had any connection to Wenske’s threats, the timing made the mock assassination all the more disturbing. With a credible threat against Kirk still fresh in attendees’ minds, turning the murder of her late husband into political theater demonstrated a striking lack of basic human decency.
Footage of the disturbing display can be viewed below.

Frontlines posted video showing the activists assembling before marching toward the Rivercenter. Some waved pride flags, while others carried an eclectic assortment of homemade signs bearing slogans such as “Women Hold Up Half the Sky,” “Erika Pedophile Protector,” “It’s Right to Rebel,” and even a quotation attributed to Mao Zedong: “To die for the people is weightier than Mt. Tai, but to die for the fascists, exploiters, and oppressors is lighter than a feather.”
Taken together, the collection of messages was less a coherent political statement than a jumble of grievances, slogans, and ideological talking points. If the demonstrators were attempting to communicate a unified purpose, it was not immediately apparent.

Frontlines reported that the protesters wore costumes like the Grim Reaper and The Handmaid’s Tale and were told to make as much noise as possible to “disrupt the event.”

Inside the venue, a heckler interrupted TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk’s speech, which she handled like a champion. After she urged the audience to put their faith in God, a heckler shouted, “Erika Kirk protects pedophiles! Erika Kirk protects pedophiles!”
Kirk stopped her speech and addressed the woman: “It’s important to remember that happiness comes and goes — and I pray that you find it.”

These people are evil.
There’s no way around it.
We are surrounded by people who wish us dead and will dance in our graves when we die or when they kill us.
I’m not sure we can turn this around as a country, but we certainly cannot share it with them.
They want us dead.

This is going to look great on their resume on the way into the trash can. Way to burn down your future. Perhaps that is why they hide like the ancestors in the KKK. Attacking a widow and a peaceful movement makes them feel important?

Frankly, it was unclear what, precisely, these activists were actually protesting. According to Frontlines, organizers claimed the TPUSA summit “‘actively harmed feminist movements’ and insisted that ‘hateful obstructions to feminism’ are not welcome in San Antonio.”
Whatever the protesters hoped to accomplish, however, it is hard to imagine they changed a single mind. Reenacting the assassination of a political opponent is not an act of persuasion, nor is it a meaningful form of protest. It is cruelty masquerading as political expression. The spectacle was pointless, needlessly provocative, and profoundly callous — particularly given that it targeted the legacy of a man whose widow was hosting the event. If the goal was to demonstrate moral superiority, the protesters achieved precisely the opposite.

TRUMP failed to jail Soros.
TRUMP gave Huma Abedin a pass...her emails were deleted too.
George Soros gave Alex his wicked kingdom.
Alex married Huma.
We were LOUDLY, PERSISTENTLY promised JUSTICE by Trump on the campaign trail. We've seen ZERO!!
Trump surrendered Minneapolis.
Trump is negotiating with Iranian terrorists.
This will get WAY WORSE and quickly, because STILL ZERO 'ELITE' ARRESTS!!
Evil is triumphing because TRUMP DOES NOTHING!!
The left might actually shoot Erica too, as they keep promising...WITHOUT ARRESTS!
Ecc 8:11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
Articles like this are no good without a pic of the perp. Here is Mr Wendi’s. Handsome enough to be popular in prison. I hope they throw the book at him

I’m sorry to say that the scenario you present will likely never happen. These people are so warped there is nothing to be said or done that will change them. Protecting ourselves from them is the only option.
Not just subhuman. Demonic.
If they try to kill or use great bodily harm, then use lethal force to stop them. Otherwise their demented words and actions do them more harm than to us.

Guy on the left sees himself as attractive but I would guess he goes many long months between finding a woman so desperate that she agrees.
The printed novel Death Wish by Brian Garfield has a passage where the protagonist realizes he is substituting violence for the sex he used to share with his murder victim wife.
You are the definition of a Debbie Downer. If you are around to witness Christ coming back, I am sure you’ll have a smug critique of his approach and methodology uploaded to FR before the end of the Second Coming’s first day.
We’re not interested in a civil war but the civil war is interested in us.
Wait, As I have said for many years—the bullet that takes down Trump will be the first shot in CW II, The first of a million to fall will be Trump. Now I think I am wrong—It will not l be him as the first patriot to fall, it was Charlie Kirk—it will not be CW II but Rev War II. The day will come when those who mock will decorate lamp posts with their bodies. The Electric Bugaloo is just on Hold.
Democrats are gross.
Let me save you that worry, they won’t. Liberalism is terminal and it is not our job to worry about their salvation, you die as you live.
The current strategy of leftists is to dishearten conservatives so they don’t vote.
There’s an entire passel of “there’s no point voting” posters out-and-about.
A talking point memo must have gone out.
True.
Not very many are in places like my area of Southeast Michigan with roughly 80-85% always Dem voters, traffic blocked for No Kings protests each Thursday and anti-Semitic and pro BLM officials and supporters.
But areas like mine are in many places.
Change can happen fast and with the polarizing effect of the Hate Trump, hate MAGA movement—that change will happen fast indeed. Eyes are opening. The left is making terrible mistakes and will pay a price. Look at what is happening in California? Violence may well be sparked this summer. Once the Black Community was solidly behind the Dems—Now they seek only support from the Latino and Illegal community. Blacks supported Spencer Prat—voted for him only to see their votes vanish.

Patriots should beat the crap out of these deranged a**holes.
The practice of disruption is, of course, the opposite of free speech. free speech is to facilitate communication and debate, not to shut it down or shout over opponents when you cannot think of a valid debate argument.
Yes I have never heard conservatives disrupting left wing events. There should be some rules. Were they in a public space, these protesters?
Everyone should be very careful about what they post online.
