House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that “we are going to work on” a statue in Washington, D.C. of Charlie Kirk, the assassinated right-wing political activist. 

Johnson was cheered as the addressed the crowd in Phoenix, Arizona he during the America Fest conference of Turning Point USA, which Kirk co-founded.

Johnson took to the stage to refer to Biggs’s comments, saying, “I knew (Kirk) a long time, and yes, Andy Biggs, we’re going to work on that statue in the Capitol, OK?” His comments prompted cheers which resounded for around 30 seconds.
