A Texas man threatened to bomb an upcoming Turning Point USA event and was also obsessed with Erika Kirk, authorities have said.
In the process, Jacob Wenske, 26, left an extensive online footprint that included anti-MAGA rhetoric and months of fixation on Kirk.
Wenske, who hails from the San Antonio area, was arrested last week on felony terroristic threat charges. His arrest stems from threats directed to Kirk and Turning Point USA’s upcoming Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio.
In April, Wenske allegedly posted, “I know exactly where to bomb,” authorities said.
Investigators also believe he sent a January email to TPUSA that threatened Kirk and “every single speaker” at TPUSA events.
He devoted more attention to Kirk ahead of the attack, according to an open-source intelligence report from the Network Contagion Research Institute.
The institute analyzes online activity.
The NCRI researchers describe Wenske as having an unusually large and exposed digital footprint centered on Facebook.
A review of a 170-page archive of his public posts revealed a stream of political content. This increased after Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September 2025.
These posts focused on “Christian nationalism,” Trump supporters, ICE, and right-wing politics.
According to official documents, Wenske called for the deaths of “Christian nationalists” in a bombing he claimed would occur at every TPUSA rally or event.
Wenske repeatedly shared posts that mocked Kirk and portrayed her as a grifter.
There was also speculation about a relationship between her and Vice President JD Vance.
In November, Wenske shared two Halloween costume memes depicting Kirk. One portrayed her as a “fake grieving widow grifter,” and another described her as a “right wing grifter” with “questionable motives,” “unwavering support of Israel,” and a “dead husband.” Wenske added the caption: “And standing on the coffin of your dead husband while having the VP snuggled up on your tits.”
He also shared a comedy about Kirk with the caption: “If it’s not a conspiracy, why’s it conspiracy-shaped?”
Another meme depicted Kirk and Vance as the lovers from The Notebook, embracing in a rain-soaked kiss.
The investigation into Wenske started after a local newspaper shared a Facebook post promoting the TPUSA event, scheduled for June 5–7 at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, according to KSAT-TV.
“I know exactly where to bomb,” Wenske wrote.
Authorities say Wenske later escalated the threats in an email.
“Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!! America will live on without those scum on this earth. Every Christian nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single Turning Point rally and event,” he wrote, according to the arrest warrant.
Wenske was charged with a third-degree felony count of making a terroristic threat.
His bond was set at $120,000.
