Red State Billboard Causes Democrat Outrage

This is incredible.

A patriotic Georgia businessman has sparked national attention — and liberal outrage — with a powerful public tribute to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, following Kirk’s tragic assassination earlier this month.

Small-Town Business Owner Takes Bold Stand

Wayne Robinson, a lifelong Georgia resident and president of Wayne Robinson Holdings, owns a Steak ‘n Shake location in Rome, Georgia. The popular 1950s-themed burger and milkshake chain has locations across America, but Robinson’s restaurant has now become a symbol of conservative pride.

Robinson said he was heartbroken when he learned that Charlie Kirk had been fatally shot in the neck while speaking to a crowd at Utah Valley University on September 10.

“I’ve always followed Charlie and admired the way he stood up to the radical Left on college campuses,” Robinson told Fox News Digital. “He brought so many young people to Christ and inspired them to fight for their country. When I heard about his assassination, it hit me hard.”

The Billboard That Went Viral

Just one day after Kirk’s murder, Robinson sprang into action.
He called his marketing team and said, “We need to honor Charlie now.”

Hours later, a massive billboard went up in Rome with a powerful, no-nonsense message:

“Charlie Kirk, 1993–2025”

“Stand up. Speak out. Stay bold.”

The tribute struck a nerve. Within 24 hours, the image exploded on social media, racking up millions of views and shares on X (formerly Twitter).

Locally, the response was overwhelming.

“We’ve had over 58,000 local comments and people are driving in from all over just to eat at our restaurant,” Robinson said. “Some have told me they came specifically to support what we did for Charlie.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Amplifies the Message

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who represents the Rome area, shared a photo of the billboard online.

Her post immediately boosted the story, drawing conservatives from across the country to support Robinson’s Steak ‘n Shake location.

“Eating at Steak ‘n Shake because they honored Charlie Kirk,” one user wrote. “This is my second time this week just to show appreciation.”

Another added,

“Businesses like this deserve our loyalty. They should be rewarded for standing up for our values.”

Calls From Across America

The outpouring wasn’t limited to Georgia. Robinson said his store has received calls from as far away as California, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

“People are taking the time to find our number and call to say thank you,” he said. “It’s been incredibly moving.”

Corporate Headquarters Responds

While Robinson initially worried about corporate backlash, Steak ‘n Shake’s corporate office had an unexpected reaction.

“They told me, ‘Normally, you’d need approval to use the brand name like that… but we love it,’” Robinson said. “In fact, the owner liked it so much that they asked for permission to roll out similar tributes nationwide.”

This means more billboards honoring Charlie Kirk could soon appear across America.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Lives On

Though still grieving Kirk’s loss, Robinson believes his message is now stronger than ever.

“Charlie started a revival across this country,” Robinson said.
“Even in death, he’s still reaching people and changing hearts.”

Kirk’s assassination has inspired businesses and individuals nationwide to take action.

• A frozen yogurt shop in Idaho printed Kirk’s name on their cups, sparking outrage from progressives.
• Supporters have launched a petition urging Starbucks to add Kirk’s signature tea order to menus nationwide.

Why Democrats Are Furious

As expected, liberal activists and left-wing commentators have attacked the tribute, mocking both Kirk and Robinson online.

But for conservatives, the billboard represents courage and defiance in the face of a culture that increasingly tries to silence Christian and patriotic voices.

This clash has turned a simple billboard into a national symbol of resistance.

Final Thoughts

Wayne Robinson’s heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk shows how one small act of boldness can ignite a nationwide movement.

For many conservatives, it’s a reminder to stand firm, support businesses that share their values, and never back down in the face of the radical Left.
