’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.
