Fort Worth City Councilwoman Elizabeth Beck is facing backlash after posting an Instagram story that appeared to mock the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The post, which was made shortly after Kirk’s death on September 10, referenced his support for the Second Amendment, sparking outrage among conservatives in Texas and across the country.
BlazeTV host Alex Stein responded by sending his girlfriend, Paige — known online as “Pre-Paid Wireless” — to a city council meeting to call out Beck directly. Paige joined other Texans in voicing their anger over Beck’s remarks.
“Hi, my name is Paige,” she said while addressing the council.
“Honestly, it feels like there’s no point in trying to reason with people who are so soulless and so far gone that they openly mock the tragic assassination of someone that they don’t agree with.”
She added that public officials who engage in such behavior should be held accountable.
“The two city council members who did just that need to be publicly shamed and know that this type of behavior will not be accepted in this country. But you know, one of the best parts of social media is that it shows you who people really are,” Paige continued.
Paige accused Beck of using Kirk’s death to make a political point.
“Councilwoman Beck quickly took to her Instagram after it was announced Charlie Kirk had been shot and posted ‘unfortunate’ with an out-of-context quote from Charlie Kirk about the Second Amendment on her story,” she said.
According to Paige, Beck’s post implied that individuals who support the right to bear arms deserve violence if they become victims.
“She made it clear that if you support the Second Amendment and are tragically killed by a mentally ill man with a transgender boyfriend, that you deserved what happened to you,” Paige told the council.
In addition to calling out Beck for her social media comments, Paige also raised past allegations about Beck’s conduct.
She said the councilwoman previously insulted a volleyball coach as “a white, skinny, dumb b*tch” after her daughter was not allowed to join the team due to missing tryouts.
“Are you starting to see how these people operate?” Paige asked during her remarks.
“They will call you names such as racist, bigot, white supremacist even if you don’t give them their way.”
The controversy surrounding Beck’s Instagram post comes as Texas officials and conservative activists continue to memorialize Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Tributes and vigils have taken place nationwide, and his supporters have sharply criticized those who have used his death to score political points.
Beck has not issued a public statement in response to Paige’s comments at the council meeting.
It remains unclear whether the council will take any formal action related to the controversy.
The exchange highlights the sharp divisions in Fort Worth politics, where local officials have faced criticism for their public remarks and conduct.
For now, Beck’s Instagram post and Paige’s public rebuke have added a new layer to the ongoing debates surrounding free speech, political discourse, and the legacy of Charlie Kirk.
