Gov. Jeff Landry is calling on the LSU Board of Supervisors to put a statue of Charlie Kirk on campus.
The governor made the statement in a social media post on Monday night.
Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA, a grassroots conservative political organization. A Turning Point USA event in Baton Rouge on Monday night had more than 1,500 people in attendance.
Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at Utah Valley University. Landry says a statue of Kirk would stand for freedom of speech on campus.
