A man has been arrested by police in San Antonio for allegedly making multiple death threats against Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk as she prepares to host an all-female event in the Texas city next weekend.

Jacob Wenske, 26, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with two felony counts of making a terroristic threat causing public fear, KSAT first reported based on the affidavit.

Wenske allegedly said in a social media post that he knows "exactly where to bomb" at the venue for the group's three-day event, according to San Antonio police. He also said, "I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort."

In an email, Wenske explicitly called for the murder of Charlie Kirk's widow and others: "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."

The Washington Examiner contacted the San Antonio Police Department for comment.

TPUSA thanked the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI for their "rapid response" in apprehending the suspect.

"Turning Point USA takes all threats seriously and we work closely with law enforcement at all levels to respond to and resolve any threats," the conservative organization said in a statement Thursday afternoon.

Its just a matter of time before another prominent person on the Right gets assassinated. Coney Barrett yesterday. Kirk today. Trump a couple days ago. And the press normalizes it as if the violent rhetoric is OK and the people acting on it are not connected to the Dem politicians and liberal organizations spewing it.

In his rant, this young man who just ruined his life used the term “Christian nationalist.” I suppose the antonym would be “Atheist Marxist.” In Marxist terms everyone who resists being reduced to a serf is a reactionary, and reactionaries cannot be allowed to survive if the “nowheresville” of their utopian dreams is to rise out of the ashes of our dear America.

He has the same talking points as that Maureen Galindo loser who claimed Christian Zionists were pedophiles.

In another previous, better generation, this idiot would have already been locked up in a mental institution, the key thrown away - where he could make all the threats he wants.

Mental institutions need to be reopened. A lot of them.
