Italian artist Sergio Furnari is seeking support for a Charlie Kirk<\/a> statue he plans to unveil in Times Square in September.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s going to be in the middle of Times Square, the center of the universe,” Furnari said in one of his videos<\/a> on the statue’s process over the weekend. “You can bring over whoever you want, family or friends. If you were a big fan of Charlie, this will be your opportunity to maybe find a little bit of peace or harmony.”<\/p>\n

Furnari has been developing models of the late Turning Point USA founder since last year after Kirk was assassinated<\/a> during a Utah Valley University event. The Italian sculptor has been documenting his process and the inspiration behind the design through videos on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

In one of his earliest videos on the statue from November<\/a>, Furnari revealed that he was not a fan of Kirk prior to his death but admired Kirk’s efforts to open dialogue with people who disagreed with him.<\/p>\n

“I did not agree with 99.9% of whatever he was talking about, but there’s the 0.001% that I agree with him. At the moment you kill or assassinate people just because you don’t agree with somebody, that’s when you become like the worst country ever,” Furnari said.<\/p>\n

Furnari has been promoting his work on a larger statue of Kirk since then and has announced plans to display it for Sept. 10 on the one-year anniversary of his death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In recent videos, Furnari revealed that he has received threats against him and the statue ahead of its unveiling.<\/p>\n

“Now, to all the haters, how many times you guys want to kill Charlie?” Furnari asked in a video on Tuesday<\/a>. “I mean, wasn’t one time enough? To all of you guys out there that want to come and destroy…want to bring a drill bat and some spray paint, and you want to destroy him, you want to burn him, come on guys. The guy’s dead. I mean, if you guys are afraid of a statue, there’s something really wrong with you. It’s just a statue. The message is simple: freedom of speech. I’m exercising my First Amendment<\/a> [right] which is freedom of speech. That’s all it is.”<\/p>\n

In a comment to Fox News Digital<\/a>, Furnari said that he was not too concerned about any backlash against the statue, saying critics “bark like chihuahuas” but “they don’t bite.”<\/p>\n

He described facing similar issues after sculpting a bust of President Donald Trump<\/a>, which he similarly displayed for his 80th birthday.<\/p>\n

“I’m not into that stuff at all. I like Trump, but that’s it. I’m basically talking, you know what I mean? You know, it felt like I’m a MAGA, you know, or I’m Republican, or I am a Democrat. I’m an artist, that’s it. I never voted, never will. Yeah, it’s not about politics. You know, this is not like a political statement. This is just like a guy that got killed and then got bullied,” Furnari said.<\/p>\n

Furnari has set up a GoFundMe page<\/a> for his “bigger than life size” Kirk statue, writing that he has sold his apartment to continue funding the project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
