US EditionGov. Landry Calls on LSU to Erect Statue of Charlie Kirk
Governor Jeff Landry urges LSU to honor Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, after a campus event drew over 1,500 attendees, emphasizing free speech protection.
- On Oct 27, 2025, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry called on LSU to erect a statue honoring Charlie Kirk, posting a video urging the LSU Board of Supervisors to find a place to defend free speech.
- The push for a statue followed the September shooting that killed Kirk at a Utah college event, and Turning Point USA's 'American Comeback' tour stopped at LSU on Monday night with Landry and Allie Beth Stuckey speaking.
- More than 1,500 people attended the Baton Rouge Turning Point event, Landry said, and WDSU has sought comment from LSU, the state's flagship public university.
- Student and campus reactions surfaced quickly after Landry's social media post, with Flau'Jae Johnson opposing the statue by quote-tweeting and Loyola University New Orleans Student Government Association denying a Turning Point USA chapter on Oct. 15.
- With thousands of student members, TPUSA's campus presence and backing from Republican governors like Mike Braun and Ron DeSantis may prompt similar memorial efforts beyond LSU, as Republican lawmakers in Oklahoma proposed a Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.
