Residents of a city in Orange County, California, are upset about the decision to put up signs renaming a main road after the late Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk.

Westminster Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen defended the decision to put up signs renaming the city’s “All American Way” road to “Charlie Kirk Way,” while speaking to ABC7 in an article published on Wednesday, April 29

“By doing this, we promote the freedom, the freedom of speech, freedom for everyone to engage in open communication here in the city of Westminster,” Nguyen, who is an admitted fan of the political commentator, said.

It’s worth noting that the street, which leads to the city’s Civic Center, will not officially change its name for residents who live there, as it won’t be reflected on their formal address. Instead, signage going up at the physical location will read “Charlie Kirk Way.”

Still, critics of both Kirk and the city council’s decision to rename the street in a 4-1 vote last fall, per a previous report from ABC7, are outspoken about their distaste for the name change.

“I thought it was a joke,” Ann Galvan told the outlet.

Ashley Lawrence from Los Angeles added, “I think that’s so hateful.”

“Are you effing kidding me? Sorry, that was my gut reaction,” said Westminster resident Terry Rains.

Rains previously organized a protest in December 2025 to try and stop the street renaming. He noted that a street called “All American Way” is inclusive and welcomes everyone to the Civic Center, while naming it after a controversial conservative pundit has a different impact.

These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire… what that stands for,” Rains added.

Kirk was assassinated while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem on Sept. 10, 2025. The alleged gunman, Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder less than a week after Kirk’s death. He has yet to enter a plea and his trial doesn’t have an official start date at this time.

Will Californians start to assassinate people on this road now since they deem the road to be so hateful?

I guess they could hold new elections to put people in their to rename the road, "Tyler Robinson's way"

That would be my guess.

Who is Charlie Kirk, and why should anybody care?

This should be a non-issue.

Endless opportunity there for passersby to mock that dead loser on social media

You defiled his memorials, cheered on social media around the country when he had his head blown off, and now you have turned your hate towards his widow, mocking her at every turn.

You are the real losers here.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Charlie was tough, whereas Votto is a cream puff.

Stand up for what he believed in, and please stop the whining.

 

[Votto]

Who is Charlie Kirk, and why should anybody care?

 

[22lcidw]

Charlie wouldn't want you to be such a snowflake, bro

I keep telling you, the Progressive Socialist Communist feminist women will not be treated well when the worse happen domestically. You are a collection of nasty groups aligned for convenience and will turn on them as in austere times no one wants to listen to that. Their comeuppance will be historical. They need to take a couple steps back.

 

[Blaster]

Many liberals want to name the street after Charles Manson.

 

[jacksonlamb]

The women of America will kick your ass.

Endless opportunity there for passersby to mock that dead loser on social media

Speaking of dead losers, how many streets were named after the loser George Floyd the ultimate loser, that threatened pregnant women and killed himself by overdosing on fentanyl when arrested.

• New York City renamed five streets in different boroughs in 2021, including Black Lives Matter Boulevard at 1 Centre Street in Manhattan AAG.
• Alexandria, Virginia saw at least one street—South Floyd Street—petitioned for renaming to honor George Floyd, as part of a broader push to replace Confederate names The Independent.
• Nationally, the American Name Society and other tracking efforts note that hundreds of public spaces (including streets, avenues, and parks) have been renamed or proposed for renaming in his honor American Name Society.

So, who was the better man? Someone like Charlie Kirk who truly believed in a higher being and sought the freedom and independence of America, known for his controversial views and media presence, or a low life career felon like Floyd?
Which of these men truly deserve to have street named after them.

 

[Dante]

Oh...

that guy!

 

[Dante]

What did he lose at?

He appearred to be fairly succesful?

at catching bullets,

 

[Soupnazi630]

at catching bullets,

And at his other endeavors.

 

[Dante]

You defiled his memorials, cheered on social media around the country when he had his head blown off, and now you have turned your hate towards his widow, mocking her at every turn.

You are the real losers here.

What "you" do you speak of?

Cut the shit arsehole. And stop mentioning stuff that you would be cheering on if Trump did it.

 

[StrongAF_2026]

Amazing how many people are so dumb to actually believe Charlie was hateful vs him being painted as hateful by the demonic DNC.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Who is Charlie Kirk,

he's the guy who makes white liberal heads explode at the mere mention of his name, outside of that I got nothing.

and why should anybody care?

so they can post in the thread without looking foolish I suppose

 

[EvilCat Breath]

What did he lose at?

He appearred to be fairly succesful?

That's why they killed him.

 

[Votto]

What "you" do you speak of?

Cut the shit arsehole. And stop mentioning stuff that you would be cheering on if Trump did it.

I would not be cheering it on

I would not say hateful things on the internet after the fact.

I am not a morally bankrupt secular asshat like yourself whose only concern in life is political power.

Try again.
