A 26-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, has been arrested after he posted a threat that he intends to bomb an upcoming Turning Point USA event and assassinate Erika Kirk, the widow of the late conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

Jacob Wenske was taken into custody early Thursday morning by San Antonio Police Department officers.

Wenske faces two third-degree felony charges of making a terroristic threat that causes public fear of serious bodily injury or public disruption.

According to the arrest warrant and charging documents obtained by local station KSAT, the threats were made in April in response to publicity for Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit, scheduled for June 5–7, at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter on the River Walk.

In a reply to a post promoting the summit, Wenske wrote, “I know exactly where to bomb.”

Wenske wrote in a follow-up post in the same thread, “I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort.”

An email sent from an account registered to Wenske read, “Death to Erika Kirk and every single speaker there!! America will live on without those scum on this earth. Every Christian nationalist shall perish in the bombing that will take place at every single Turning Point rally and event.”

WATCH:

Kirk, who took over as CEO of TPUSA in the wake of her husband’s murder, is scheduled to speak at the summit.

The event is expected to draw more than 2,500 attendees.

In a statement posted to X, TPUSA wrote:

Turning Point USA takes all threats seriously and we work closely with law enforcement at all levels to respond to and resolve any threats.

We are grateful to the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI for their rapid response and arrest of the individual making these threats.

The safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff is always our top priority. All TPUSA events include enhanced, multi-layered security measures that are enforced by both private security and local police.

We refuse to let threats silence us. We look forward to a successful and inspiring gathering June 5–7 in San Antonio for 2,500+ ladies attending the Women’s Leadership Summit!

Wenske’s bond has been set at $120,000.
