“This was at Texas State, a Charlie Kirk memorial event hosted by the local TPUSA chapter. A student imitates Charlie Kirk’s death and mocks him, goes up to the statue where TPUSA members are and imitates his death again, and spits near them. Also uses a vape/weed pen near the end of the video, which is against campus policy," the caption reads.

Texas State University Expels Student
Texas State University issued a communique and announced the termination of the student. A post on X reads, “TXST has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday’s event. The individual is no longer a student at TXST. Federal law prevents the university from commenting on individual student conduct matters."
Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse also issued a statement on the matter on X. “The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday’s event. I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values," Damphousse said.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott reshared the clip on X and criticized the act. Abbott wrote, “Hey, Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools. Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination must have consequences."
