Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday shared footage and photos of himself whitewashing graffiti that criticized right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week.
“Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston,” the Donald Trump loyalist wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The graffiti read: “Fuck Charlie Kirk.”
The Texas Department of Transportation “has been notified & I’m sure they will remove it expeditiously,” he added. “But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore.”
“Erasing evil,” Cruz captioned a short video clip of himself painting over the message with white paint.
