Sen. Ted Cruz rolled up his sleeves and personally painted over graffiti that said “F-ck Charlie Kirk” on Houston’s Highway 59 on Sunday.
Kirk, 31, was assassinated during a speaking event in Utah on Wednesday, sparking global outcry.
Cruz used a roller and white paint to cover the hateful vandalism.
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 left something to be desired, but it worked as a temporary measure.
