Gov. Jeff Landry posted a video on Monday night saying LSU should put up a statue of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was tragically sh0t and k%lled during a speech on a college campus last month.
“We’re going to put a challenge out to the LSU Board of Supervisors to find a place to put a statue of Charlie Kirk to defend the freedom of speech on college campuses,” Landry says in the video as he stood next to the Mike the Tiger statue near Tiger Stadium.
Not many people have agreed with him.
LSU women’s basketball star Flau’jae Johnson expressed disapproval by stating, “For the sake of clarity, if you align yourself with or endorse his racist rhetoric and discriminatory views toward people of color, I respectfully ask that you utilize the unfollow option at the top right of my profile.”
Landry’s post came after Turning Point USA came to LSU’s campus on Monday night for the “American Comeback” tour.
Kirk is a well-known political activist who helped found conservative youth organization Turning Point USA. Unfortunately, his rhetoric was not well-received by all. Tyler Robinson allegedly planned out and k%lled him at an event at Utah Valley University. He was arrested and charged with the deadly shooting.

Kirk had been scheduled to speak at the LSU event before he was fatally sh0t on September 10 while addressing students at Utah Valley University.
Clark, the former LSU standout, made his opinion on the bizarre situation happening down at his alma mater clear.
Speaking on “First Take” on Thursday, Clark destroyed Landry for his comments as well as his other comments on allowing Donald Trump to pick LSU’s next football coach.
“It’s the second most ridiculous thing he said this week,” Clark said as he alluded to the Charlie Kirk statue.
“The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put a statue of somebody that doesn’t represent the people of Louisiana, doesn’t represent the players and the students at LSU, doesn’t represent the executives that work there. That was the first dumb thing he said this week,” Clark said.
Landry previously told reporters that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward would not be involved in selecting the Tigers’ new football coach, saying he’d let President Donald Trump do it, per ESPN.
“No, I can tell you right now Scott Woodward is not selecting our next coach,” Landry told reporters.
Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban
Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.
It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.
Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.
On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.
Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget
While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.
Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.
Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.
Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.
From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.
Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
