A Texas man allegedly made online threats directed toward an upcoming Turning Point USA event and the CEO of the conservative nonprofit, Erika Kirk.
Jacob Wenske, 26, is charged with a third-degree felony count of making a terroristic threat involving public fear of serious bodily injury or public disruption.
An investigation into Wenske began after a local newspaper published a Facebook post promoting the TPUSA Women’s Leadership Summit scheduled for June, which features Kirk as a keynote speaker. The event is set to take place June 5–7 at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk.
"I know exactly where to bomb," Wenske allegedly replied to the post.
In a separate post within the same thread, Wenske wrote, "I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort," authorities said, according to a report from leadership role at TPUSA following the public assassination of her husband and co-founder, Charlie Kirk, at a TPUSA event in Utah last year, has faced a wave of threats since taking the helm.
In April, she canceled a planned appearance at a TPUSA event at the University of Georgia after receiving what organizers described as "very serious threats."
