'ERASING EVIL': Ted Cruz Paints Over Anti-Charlie Kirk Vandalism in Houston [WATCH]

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.15.25

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) personally covered up graffiti scrawled along a Houston roadway that included profanity and the name of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston. TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure they will remove it expeditiously. But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore,” Cruz wrote Sunday on X.

The senator also shared a video of himself painting over the message, captioned: “Erasing evil.”

Elon Musk responded to Cruz’s post with an American flag emoji, signaling approval of the gesture.
