A photograph that surfaced recently features a woman at a table in the Rogers fire station, wearing a white T-shirt that bears the words “Problem Solved” with what looks like red stains that resemble blood. This shirt closely resembles the one Charlie Kirk donned when he was assassinated last September.
The image, reportedly taken during a polling operation, shows her equipped with a laptop and a barcode scanner in a location identified as a voting site in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Controversial Costume Connection
In 2024 and 2025, similar shirts were worn by teachers in Arizona for Halloween, allegedly as a math-themed costume. After Kirk’s tragic shooting in September 2025, some speculated that the shirt was a macabre nod to that event.

Officials from the school district asserted that the shirts were originally intended for math problem solving costumes. However, following the controversial circulation of the design, it’s being debated whether it honors Kirk’s assassination or others.
Alpha News reached out to Hennepin County about this issue, and the county has since referred the concern to the city clerk in Rogers for further examination.
In a response, Hennepin County emphasized the importance of maintaining a welcoming atmosphere at polling sites, free from intimidation. They have advised voters and election workers to report any misconduct to the head election judge or the city clerk.
As of now, local authorities are still deliberating on whether the poll worker’s attire breaches any rules, with the matter under ongoing review.
