8:03Now PlayingA sculptor named Sergio Furnari spent $100,000 of his own money on a life-size Charlie Kirk statue, betting the demand was there. His fundraiser aimed for $150,000. As of recording it had raised $8,000 — a fraction of the goal.
That's what the organic demand for a Charlie Kirk monument actually looks like.
So Republicans are building it anyway — with your money. A 400,000-coin federal mint program from Rep. Abe Hamadeh. A U.S. Capitol statue under House Resolution 842, pushed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Rep. Andy Biggs, and Speaker Mike Johnson. A call from Gov. Jeff Landry for LSU, a public university, to erect the first campus statue. And an Arizona bill from Senate President Warren Petersen to put his name on Loop 202.
The people who worship the free market are bypassing it — because the market already priced this.
