"Pushback from locals" ends Republican dream of naming a Texas road after fallen Saint Chucky [View all]

County officials in Texas pulled the plug on renaming a road to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk after pushback from locals.

After Kirk, 31, was shot dead at Utah Valley University in September last year, he was immediately lionized by the right, despite his polarizing politics.

This was the case in Bastrop County in Central Texas, where a motion was tabled to designate a portion of FM 969 the “Charlie Kirk Corridor.”

The plan for the road, which is about 30 minutes east of downtown Austin, was shelved after over 100 locals showed up to voice their disapproval.
