A teenager claims a Build-A-Bear employee in Tukwila, Washington, refused to print Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s name on her teddy bear’s birth certificate.
The incident reportedly happened at Southcenter Mall when 16-year-old Evi McCormick and her friends visited the store, where people can create custom stuffed toys, on September 26, according to King 5.
However, McCormick said after she finished creating the bear, a store worker refused to print Kirk’s name on its birth certificate.
“She just didn’t agree with it. She didn’t support it and she told me, ‘We’re not doing this,’ folded it up in a force and threw it away,” the teen claimed.
Kirk, a devout Christian and champion for free speech, was violently assassinated on September 10 during a speaking event at Utah Vall
