AWESOME: Southern California City Installs “Charlie Kirk Way” Street Signs

A wealthy city in Southern California has ignited a firestorm after installing new street signs in honor of the legendary, late Charlie Kirk.

On Tuesday, the city of Westminster officially installed “Charlie Kirk Way” street signs.

It’s all part of a symbolic re-naming of a stretch near the city’s Civic Center, perfectly called “All American Way!”

Notably, the street has not officially been re-named.

Legally speaking, it’s still a part of the original “All American Way,” which sounds like a great place to live in and of itself!

But, the Charlie Kirk-inspired street signs were the mayor’s idea.

When the signs went up, Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen proudly called it a way to promote “freedom” and “freedom of speech” in his city.

The New York Post reported:

In Westminster, Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen stood Tuesday beneath a newly installed “Charlie Kirk Way” sign, part of a symbolic redesignation of a stretch of All American Way near the city’s Civic Center.

“By doing this, we promote the freedom, the freedom of speech here in the city of Westminster,” Nguyen told ABC7.

The City Council approved the measure in a 4–1 vote last fall after Nguyen proposed the change months earlier.

The action does not officially rename the street or alter addresses.

Instead, new signage reading “Charlie Kirk Way” has been placed between Westminster Boulevard and 13th Street, while the original All American Way designation remains in place.

“I myself am very inspired by what Charlie Kirk has been doing for the country, what he’s been doing to the younger people, for the next generation,” he said.

The council also voted to designate Oct. 14, Kirk’s birthday, as “Charlie Kirk Day

Kudos to Mayor Nguyen!

This is a wonderful way to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy.

But, as you might have guessed, many liberals are triggered.

As leftists are bound to do, some were spotted protesting the new signage:

Don’t these people have better things to do?

ABC 7 shared the mixed reactions from the locals:

“I thought it was a joke,” said Ann Galvan from Garden Grove.

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

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

Rains organized a protest back in December in an effort to stop what she says is causing division in her community.

“That street is called All American Way. That is inclusive. That welcomes everyone into our Civic Center,” Rains said. “These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire… what that stands for.”

The news of the signs is spreading fast on social media, prompting people to drive from all over Southern California to see them in person.

“It’s a little ridiculous,” one resident said.

“I’m really happy to see that, because I’m his big fan,” another said.

The criticism is not new to the mayor, who was even stopped by someone who disagreed with the decision during his interview with Eyewitness News.

“You can’t please everyone,” Nguyen said.

The mayor claims the sign honoring Kirk isn’t political, and instead is meant to represent freedom of speech.

“I’m not saying that Charlie Kirk is a Republican or Democrat. I don’t take it that way. I look at the way that he is dedicated. He is sacrificing to do what needs to be done for our country, and he is a patriot. Those are the things that I look at,” Nguyen said.

What do you think?

Do you like the signs?

Should more cities follow suit and name prominent streets or buildings after Charlie Kirk?
