'Erasing evil': Ted Cruz personally covers up offensive graffiti targeting Charlie Kirk in Houston

HOUSTON, TEXAS: Senator Ted Cruz shares some pictures and a video on his social media where he was seen cleaning a disturbing graffiti targeting Charlie Kirk on the 59 freeway in Houston.

Someone wrote "F**k Charlie Kirk" in a public space just a few days after the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was shot dead during an event at Utah Valley University.

Ted Cruz makes sure Texans don't have to look at 'hateful garbage' targeting Charlie Kirk anymore

Ted Cruz took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and shared two photos of himself cleaning the disgraceful message.

He captioned the post, "Some deranged ba****d put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston. TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure they will remove it expeditiously. But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore."

The Republican Senator shared another video where he was seen covering the message with white paint, as the caption of the post read, "Erasing evil."

Tech billionaire Elon Musk commented on the post, dropping an American flag emoji.

Since Kirk's death, people have poured in their condolences and tributes for the conservative icon.

However, there have been many who have shown their hatred towards the Turning Point USA founder.

Talking to reporters on Thursday, September 11, President Donald Trump said that the media "ought to be ashamed of themselves" for justifying the shooting of Kirk.

When a reporter asked the POTUS, "What do you think about the media that justify the murder of Charlie Kirk?" the MAGA leader replied, "I think it’s terrible. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. It’s terrible."

Previously, Trump announced the death of Kirk in a social media post, writing, "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie."

"He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" the POTUS added.

Two days after Kirk was killed, law enforcement arrested the suspected shooter, who was identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. His father reportedly turned him in after recognizing him in CCTV footage shared on social media by the FB.

Internet praises Ted Cruz for covering up offensive graffiti 

Many internet users praised Ted Cruz as he was seen cleaning an offensive graffiti targeting Charlie Kirk on the 59 freeway in Houston.

A user wrote on X, "Thank you @tedcruz Erase the hate! We are Charlie Kirk!" while one added, "If I see anything like that, I will go out of my way to do the same!"

A person stated, "I wish it were that easy to erase the evil but this does make a difference," whereas someone else mentioned, "Insane that our elected Congressmen have to spend their time covering up hateful graffiti, but here we are."

An individual said, "Full applause move Senator. And before everyone piles on Teddy for a publicity stunt — it’s Texas. 10,000 other people could have done the same thing before Ted did. Well done," while one more tweeted, "What a great hardworking patriot. Wish we had decent senators in Michigan."
