Louisiana’s governor on Monday night called on the state’s largest university to erect a statue memorializing Charlie Kirk.
“We’re gonna put a challenge out to the LSU board of supervisors to find a place to put a statue of Charlie Kirk to defend freedom of speech on college campuses,” said Gov. Jeff Landry in a video posted to social from the Louisiana State University campus.
Landry was at LSU Monday evening for a rally with the school’s Turning Point USA chapter. He said more than 1,500 people attended the event, which also featured conservative best-selling author and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey.
“Come on ladies and gentlemen, let’s see if we can be the first campus to do it,” Landry said.
“And the one thing I want to challenge you all — especially those in a university setting — be curious,” Landry told the crowd at the Turning Point event. “Ask questions. Seek the truth. Not your truth. The truth.”
