A Texas State University student is facing intense backlash after he was caught on video reenacting the assassination of Charlie Kirk during a memorial service on campus. The disturbing display has prompted calls for his immediate expulsion, including from Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
The video, widely circulated on social media, shows the unidentified student mocking Kirk’s fatal shooting in front of stunned mourners at Monday’s memorial hosted by Turning Point USA.
Eyewitness footage captures the young man repeatedly slapping his neck while shouting, “Charlie Kirk got hit in the neck, b**h.”* He then shook his body violently as if recoiling from a gunshot, before spitting on the ground near attendees.
At one point, he climbed onto a statue, repeated the imitation, and then collapsed theatrically. As he walked away, he was heard shouting a racial slur: “F** that n*****.”*
The crowd of TPUSA members and students stood in stunned silence as the scene unfolded.
Governor Abbott Demands Action
Governor Greg Abbott condemned the incident after sharing the video on his X account. “Mocking assassination must have consequences. Expel this student immediately,” Abbott wrote.
