A masked crowd gathered outside Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio on June 6, and the message they brought was grotesque.
They chanted that Charlie Kirk deserved to die.
The summit was being held at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, where conservative women had gathered for a weekend event featuring Erika Kirk and other prominent speakers.
Video from Frontlines TPUSA showed protesters marching from Labor Plaza toward the hotel:

That is the part Americans need to see clearly.
This was not a policy dispute or a spirited debate outside a political conference. It was a crowd chanting about the death of a murdered conservative leader while his widow was inside the building.
Todd Starnes reported these details from the scene:
DEVELOPING STORY: A mob of leftist stormed the Turning Point USA Women’s Leadership Summit Saturday in San Antonio chanting that Charlie Kirk deserved to die. The summit, in the Marriott Rivercenter, was billed as a faith-filled gathering of conservative women into the latest flashpoint in America’s raging free-speech war.
The summit featured TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk and a roster of prominent conservative women, including Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany. The event website described the summit as a gathering where women would “strengthen their minds, cultivate wellness” and “anchor their spirits in faith.”
But outside the venue, protesters gathered at Labor Plaza before marching toward the hotel. Video posted by TPUSA’s Frontlines account showed demonstrators chanting, “Women hold up half the sky, Charlie Kirk deserved to die,” as they made their way toward the event.
The disruption came just days after San Antonio authorities arrested 26-year-old Jacob Wenske, who was accused of making terroristic threats tied to the TPUSA event. Authorities said Wenske allegedly commented on a Facebook post promoting the summit, “I know exactly where to bomb,” and later wrote, “Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!!”
The Post Millennial also reported that masked radicals clashed with police near the entrances and that agitators targeted the event as attendees tried to get inside.
Another video from the scene described the chaos near the conference entrance:

Multiple masked radicals, wearing clear ANTIFA imagery, have swarmed one of the entrances and have been hitting and throwing things at police.
Multiple ANTIFA members have jumped in to stop police from making…
Authorities had already taken threats around the event seriously.
Reports said 26-year-old Jacob Wenske had been arrested in connection with alleged threats tied to the summit. Those allegations remain allegations unless and until proven in court.
That context matters because the left spent years lecturing the country about “dangerous rhetoric.”
Then a conservative gathering was targeted, masks came out, police were hit, and a crowd chanted that Charlie Kirk deserved to die.
TPUSA did not shut down the summit.
And that may be the biggest takeaway of all: the mob screamed, the event continued, and conservative women refused to hand the microphone to people who showed up to intimidate them.
