An Indiana farm is facing a wave of mockery after unveiling a corn maze honoring slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk — and Fox News' Joe Concha is not happy about it.

Kirk was assassinated last year while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. A close ally of President Donald Trump, Kirk remains a polarizing figure due to a number of past controversial remarks, including warnings of “prowling Blacks” and unqualified Black aircraft pilots. He founded Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization whose logo appears alongside his likeness in the maze design.

This week, Goebel Farms in Indiana revealed an updated corn maze design honoring Kirk, shaped to depict his face alongside the Turning Point USA logo and the message “RIP CK,” according to WEHT/WTVW News. The outlet reported that the farm was soon flooded with dozens of negative reviews. Corn mazes are a common autumn attraction for U.S. farms, and operators sometimes carve tributes or topical designs into the fields — making the displays frequent flashpoints when the subject honored is politically divisive.

Concha addressed the backlash on Fox News' “The Big Weekend Show,” as part of a segment highlighting what the program considered the biggest “flops” of the week.

“A farm in Indiana is facing backlash and negative reviews after they turned their corn maze into a tribute for the late, great Charlie Kirk, who died nearly a year ago at Utah Valley University, Sept. 10,” Concha said. “And people are mad about this? Give me a break!”

Fox News' Riley Gaines shared Concha's disapproval, adding, “we miss Charlie Kirk every single day.”

“Indeed,” Concha replied.

The exchange reflects how the anniversary of Kirk's killing has continued to stoke clashes over how his legacy is discussed, both in media coverage and in online speech.

Some Americans who criticized or mocked Kirk after his assassination have faced steep consequences. Tennessee resident Larry Bushart, a retired police officer, was jailed for 37 days on a felony charge after refusing to take down a Facebook meme related to Kirk's killing.

According to PBS News, Bushart captioned his post with the words: “This seems relevant today.” The meme featured an image of Trump alongside his own words: “We have to get over it” — a reference to real comments Trump made in response to the 2024 Perry High School shooting in Iowa.
