Overview
- Local authorities arrested 26-year-old Jacob Wenske on May 28 and charged him with felony terroristic-threat offenses for allegedly posting bomb and death threats targeting the summit and Erika Kirk.
- The multi-day Women’s Leadership Summit went forward in San Antonio with a lineup of conservative women speakers and TPUSA saying it used layered private and police security to protect attendees.
- During the opening session a woman loudly accused Erika Kirk of “protecting pedophiles,” was removed by security, and Kirk replied from stage, “I pray that you find it,” drawing applause from many attendees.
- Protests outside the venue included confrontational chanting and at least one reported stunt described as a reenactment of Charlie Kirk’s killing, though accounts and levels of corroboration vary across outlets.
- The events reflect heightened scrutiny and threats after Charlie Kirk’s September 2025 assassination, and leave organizers, law enforcement, and courts managing security, legal proceedings, and an ongoing debate fueled by unproven online allegations.
