A 26-year-old man from San Antonio, Jacob Wenske, was arrested early Thursday and stands accused of threatening to kill Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk and bomb an upcoming event of the organization.
Wenske, who faces two felony charges of making a terroristic threat causing public fear, allegedly replied to a social media post about TPUSA's summit, writing 'I know exactly where to bomb.'
He also made a separate post saying 'I can't wait to be the valet for her escort,' referring to Erika Kirk, according to a report by KSAT.
An email from an account registered to Wenske had said '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.'
TPUSA released a statement on X, saying 'We take all threats seriously and work closely with law enforcement to respond to and resolve any threats.'
The organization also said 'We refuse to let threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and inspiring gathering June 5–7 in San Antonio for 2,500+ ladies attending the Women's Leadership Summit!'
