Arlington Heights police said the vandalism took place at about 11 p. m. on Sunday, Jan. 25 with a suspected marker at the Republicans of Wheeling Township Office. Surveillance video from the late evening hours of Jan. 25 shows a couple, a man in glasses and a woman, both dressed in black, drawing explicit words and what ABC7 Chicago has been told were several Nazi symbols over the face of Charlie Kirk on the windows in Arlington Heights. “Charlie Kirk was born in Arlington Heights, and he actually had come through our doors; so, he was initially started off with our organization. So, we’re really kind of deeply saddened to see that,” Deputy Committeeman John Saletta said. The Republicans of Wheeling Township Office said the alleged vandals drew antisemitic symbols on their building. Saletta said they put up surveillance cameras after their building was previously vandalized in December. “It’s obviously highly offensive, and we’re better than this,” Saletta said. “I think that as a nation, you know, we can resolve our differences through dialogue. That’s what Charlie was all about.” Bakc in January, Saletta said he hoped the vandals would decide to turn themselves in and do the right thing. “We have floors of the legislature for talking about policy, trying to work out the best resolution to satisfy the wants and needs of the people, and it shouldn’t be about this,” Saletta said. Saletta said he will not allow the vandalism to intimidate their work.
