Mississippi State student vandalizes TPUSA table on campus, mocks Charlie Kirk's death

A student at Mississippi State University was filmed disrupting a recent Turning Point USA tabling event, throwing materials to the ground and mocking the death of the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk.

Video posted by TPUSA Frontlines showed the student, wearing sunglasses, a hat, and a hoodie, approaching the table while recording on his phone before shoving buttons, flyers, and other handout materials onto the ground. During the confrontation, the student referenced Kirk, who was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2023, accusing him of spreading hate.

The student also attempted to pull the table covering off before one of the students staffing the booth intervened. As he backed away, the individual could be heard saying, “Pick that up, b*tch.”

The incident is the latest in a series of confrontations involving Turning Point USA campus tabling events. Last month at Kent State University, another individual was seen brandishing scissors and popping the groups’ balloons, also mocking Kirk’s assassination and calling the students “neck gushers.”

Kirk’s death has continued to face mockery online from some left-wing activists and social media users. A recent trend on TikTok has involved users incorporating audio of Kirk’s assassination into prom and fashion-transition videos. 

At Utah Valley University, some activist groups have also protested efforts to memorialize him on campus. One group, called “The Civil Disobedience Club” (CDC), was reportedly accused of sharing jokes about Kirk’s death while organizing opposition to proposals for a campus memorial.
