Charlie Kirk statue commissioned for New College of Florida campus


‘The statue, privately funded by community leaders, will stand on campus as a commitment by New College to defend and fight for free speech and civil discourse in American life,’ the college said

On Tuesday, the New College of Florida shared a mock-up image of a bronze-looking statue of Kirk sitting at a table with a microphone, an apparent nod to the debates he’d frequently have on college campuses.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who said she owes her political career to Kirk, has pushed for House Speaker Mike Johnson to place a statue of Kirk in the U.S. Capitol “to honor his legacy and to serve as a permanent testament to his life, work, and sacrifice,” she wrote in an X post the day after Kirk was assassinated.
