Texas student reenacts Charlie Kirk murder at Turning Point USA event
Share this @internewscast.com

A Texas State University student has faced public backlash for repeatedly reenacting Charlie Kirk’s assassination at a memorial held in his honor.

Footage posted on social media captures an anonymous individual ridiculing and mimicking Kirk’s passing, while also spitting near attendees of a memorial held on campus this Monday.

Governor Gregg Abbott was among those demanding disciplinary measures, urging the university to ‘immediately expel this student,’ stating that such ‘behavior is unacceptable in our institutions.’

The student’s vile acts appeared to be targeting members of Kirk’s nonprofit organization Turning Point USA, which was hosting the memorial.

Eyewitness video shared online shows the student confronting TPUSA members during the memorial and cursing as he slaps himself in the neck.

‘Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, b***h,’ the student yelled, before repeating the gesture and shaking his body as if to imitate the impact of a gunshot, the footage reveals.

He then climbed a nearby statue and repeated the action yet again, this time dropping to the ground after the vibrating motions.

The student is then heard saying ‘f*** that n*****’ as he walks away from the crowd of shocked demonstrators.

Abbott shared a video of the interaction on his X account, urging Texas State to take action against the student.

‘Mocking assassination must have consequences,’ the governor said. 

The university acknowledges the ‘troubling’ incident that occurred at the San Marcos campus, Texas State President Dr. Kelly Damphousse mentioned in a statement.

Damphousse has instructed university officials to ‘take immediate steps to identify the individual in the video’, the statement said.

‘Behavior that trivializes or promotes violence is reprehensible and violates the values of TXST. It will not be tolerated,’ the president wrote.

‘If this individual is found to be affiliated with TXST, appropriate action will be taken. Let me be clear: expressions that glorify violence or murder have no place on our campuses.’

The incident comes after a student at Texas Tech University, nearly 400 miles away from Texas State’s campus, was caught on camera mocking Kirk’s assassination and gleefully dancing in the wake of his death.

Students at the school were holding a vigil for Kirk last Friday when Camryn Giselle Booker was filmed jumping up and down and chanting ‘F*** y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.’ 

Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott led calls for disciplinary action and urged the university to 'expel this student immediately', alleging such 'conduct is not accepted at our schools'

Booker, 18, then confronted fellow student Cameron Payne, who was holding a sign that read ‘Rest in peace Charlie Kirk’.

Payne claims Booker got in his face, shouted at him and then slapped the lid of his hat, KAMC reports.

Police officers stepped in to separate the pair. Booker was then arrested for simple assault and transported to the Lubbock County Jail. 

She is also no longer enrolled at Texas Tech – a response that Abbott has praised. 

In the days since Kirk’s assassination, candlelight vigils and memorials have popped up across the nation, honoring the late conservative activist. 

Counter-protesters have descended on the memorials and praised Kirk’s death online.

Kirk was gunned down on September 10 as he spoke with students at Utah Valley University and died shortly after.

Prosecutors brought a murder charge on Tuesday against accused assassin Tyler Robinson, who could face the death penalty if convicted.

Prosecutors outlined evidence including Robinson’s alleged text message confession to his partner and a note left beforehand that said he had the opportunity to kill one of the nation’s leading conservative voices ‘and I’m going to take it.’

Robinson, 22, has also been charged with felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice.

While authorities claim Robinson hasn’t been cooperating with investigators, they say his family and friends have been talking. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said over the weekend that those who know Robinson say his politics shifted left in recent years and that he spent a lot of time in the ‘dark corners of the internet’.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News on Monday that when Robinson was asked why he would kill the conservative influencer, he responded: ‘Some hatred cannot be negotiated with.’
