Sen. Ted Cruz rolled up his sleeves and painted over graffiti reading “F-ck Charlie Kirk” on Houston’s Highway 59 on Sunday.
Kirk, 31, was assassinated at a speaking event in Utah on Wednesday, sparking global outcry.
Cruz grabbed a roller and white paint and covered the vile vandalism himself.
In a post about the effort on the social media platform X, Cruz wrote:
Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston.
TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure sure they will remove it expeditiously.
But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore.
Cruz’s paint job wasn’t perfect, but it worked as a quick, temporary fix.
Fox News also posted a video of the senator’s effort.
Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, has been arrested in the assassination.
He has been charged with capital murder and will be eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
