Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz took matters into his own hands this past weekend as he personally worked to remove offensive graffiti about Charlie Kirk on a Houston freeway.

On Sunday, Cruz shared on his social media pages, including X, how he was painting over graffiti that read "F*** Charlie Kirk" on 59 Freeway.

The senator said the Texas Department of Transportation was notified and that the department will also help remove it.

In the meantime, Cruz said he was "erasing evil" by painting over it.

"Texans don't have to look at this hateful garbage anymore," Cruz added.
