"By doing this, we promote the freedom, the freedom of speech, freedom for everyone to engage in open communication here in the city of Westminster."
"I myself am very inspired by what Charlie Kirk has been doing for the country, what he's been doing to the younger people, for the next generation."
"That street is called All American Way. That is inclusive. That welcomes everyone into our Civic Center."
"These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire... what that stands for."
Westminster has renamed a street to honor Charlie Kirk, a slain political activist, with the new sign reading 'Charlie Kirk Way.' Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen initiated the change, emphasizing the promotion of freedom of speech. The city council approved the redesignation with a 4-1 vote, but it will not officially alter the street's name for addresses. Reactions are mixed, with some residents expressing support for Kirk's influence, while others criticize the decision as divisive and contrary to the inclusive spirit of the original street name, All American Way.
