A public meeting in Lake County, Florida devolved into profanity-laced shouting and ejection of attendees over a proposal to rename a road after slain MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, The Independentreports.

Although the Lake County Commission proposal passed with unanimous approval, the majority of those in attendance at Tuesday's meeting were loudly opposed to renaming a stretch of area road northwest of Orlando as the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway."

“Wouldn’t it be more suitable and ideal to have a memorial to honor someone who fought to serve and protect us, have a true Lake County resident who was a brave American hero?” area resident Gavin Brown asked.

The proposal was introduced by Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini (R), a far-right, failed congressional candidate. According to The Daily Beast in 2023, Sabatini "wildly plagiarized” portions of his honors thesis at the University of Florida.

“In these dark, dystopian times, let’s remember Deputy Link [a sheriff's deputy killed last year in the line of duty , and let’s look at things we can do to unite, and not divide us, and that includes you, Mr. Sabatini,” Brown added.

Sabatini, who called Brown a "political agitator," lashed out, saying, "How dare you use that deputy’s name for your petty bulls--- political argument! How dare you!”

Brown wasn't the only one who spoke up. “If we approach approved political figure naming without clear criteria, we open the door to endless partisan battles over our public spaces,” resident Jaqueline Arnt said.

Though a few spoke in favor of the proposal, the majority who did not were the loudest — much to Sabatini's ire.

"So I don’t think that any normal, sane person would ever speak out against naming a significant road after someone like Charlie Kirk. It’s not even a debate,” Sabatini said.
