HOUSTON - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz was seen painting over graffiti on a Houston freeway that read "F--- Charlie Kirk" on Thursday, an action that comes amid heightened political tensions following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The graffiti removal was depicted by Cruz in a post on social media , following the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk in Utah, an event that has been reported by The Guardian and has prompted increased security for public officials.
