Despite official condemnation from georgetown, some students held a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest to mock him, while others posted flyers celebrating political violence, referencing Kirk\u2019s alleged killer. The piece highlights how certain left-wing individuals, including prominent figures like Hasan Piker and some university professors, have mocked Kirk publicly and even celebrated his death, perceiving violence against him as justified since thay view him as a fascist or obstacle to their revolutionary goals. The article argues that such celebration of violence aligns with Marxist principles, which openly endorse the use of force to overthrow existing social orders. The author emphasizes that the left\u2019s normalization of violence against political opponents reflects a broader ideology that perceives violence as acceptable when targeting those they oppose or deem enemies. Brianna Lyman, an elections correspondent, authored the piece, emphasizing that these actions reveal the left\u2019s acceptance of violence as part of their political framework.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gageskidmore\/54506777721\">Gage Skidmore\/Flickr<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a>        <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/08\/leftists-are-still-openly-mocking-charlie-kirks-assassination-because-they-love-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Leftists Are Still Openly Mocking Charlie Kirk\u2019s Assassination Because They Love Violence&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/08\/leftists-are-still-openly-mocking-charlie-kirks-assassination-because-they-love-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Leftists Are Still Openly Mocking Charlie Kirk\u2019s Assassination Because They Love Violence&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/08\/leftists-are-still-openly-mocking-charlie-kirks-assassination-because-they-love-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/08\/leftists-are-still-openly-mocking-charlie-kirks-assassination-because-they-love-violence\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Leftists Are Still Openly Mocking Charlie Kirk\u2019s Assassination Because They Love Violence&#038;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/09\/08\/leftists-are-still-openly-mocking-charlie-kirks-assassination-because-they-love-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\">                     <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); pfTrackEvent(&#039;Leftists Are Still Openly Mocking Charlie Kirk\u2019s Assassination Because They Love Violence&#039;); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &#038; Email\">                     <span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>                     <\/a>                 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"pf-content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday will mark one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a leftist on a Utah college campus. A day that should be one of reflection and national unity is instead reportedly being used by Georgetown University students to hold a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital that the event is meant to mock Kirk, while a Georgetown University spokesman said that \u201cmaking light of a victim of violence is counter to our values and deeply disappointing,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/07\/us-news\/georgetown-students-plan-charlie-kirk-lookalike-contest-on-assassination-anniversary\/?utm_campaign=nypost&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1538392045\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the ghoulish display of celebration of an assassination on Georgetown\u2019s campus is unsurprising given that immediately after Kirk\u2019s assassination, someone posted a flyer from the John Brown Club celebrating the political violence. The sign read: \u201cHey, Fascist! Catch! The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.\u201d As The Federalist\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/24\/report-club-flyer-celebrating-charlie-kirks-assassination-found-at-georgetown-university-campus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shawn Fleetwood<\/a> pointed out, the phrase \u201cHey, Fascist! Catch!\u201d refers to the engraving on one of the bullet casings that Kirk\u2019s alleged killer planned to use in his attack. (The John Brown Club was not on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgetown.edu\/student-life\/clubs-organizations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list<\/a> of student clubs recognized by Georgetown at the time, as Fleetwood reported). <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the mockery isn\u2019t limited to Georgetown University\u2019s student body. Islamic Marxist <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/08\/26\/hasan-pikers-mocking-of-charlie-kirk-is-part-of-the-lefts-assassination-prep-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hasan Piker<\/a> recently led a live audience in mocking the \u201cWe Are Charlie Kirk\u201d song. This is from the same man who has fantasized about murder and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/04\/27\/opinion\/dems-have-the-power-to-stop-all-the-violent-rhetoric-like-hasan-pikers-and-if-not-their-silence-is-tacit-approval\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">streets soaked<\/a> in \u201ccapitalist blood.\u201d And in the more immediate aftermath of Kirk\u2019s death, Syracuse professors <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/09\/17\/us-news\/syracuse-professors-gloat-over-charlie-kirks-ironic-death-bizarrely-thank-witches-for-his-demise-can-rest-in-piss\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrated<\/a> the assassination, with one saying Kirk could \u201crest in p-ss.\u201d The <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/10\/hope-the-bullets-okay-here-are-the-demonic-reactions-from-leftists-to-charlie-kirk-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demonic reactions<\/a> could be found in the left-wing corners of the web, such as BlueSky, where leftists also cheered Kirk\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taken together, these examples (and the countless others of celebration, mockery, and revelry) show that these were not anonymous, one-off ghoulish celebrations. There is a large and loud part of the left that has little problem with Kirk\u2019s murder \u2014 whether in the immediate aftermath or nearer to the one-year anniversary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the left, violence isn\u2019t judged by the act itself but rather whether the victim \u201cdeserved\u201d it or not. Kirk \u201cdeserved\u201d to die in leftists\u2019 minds because he and his movement got in the way of leftists\u2019 pursuit of a Marxist revolution. And in order to convince others that Kirk deserved it, the left has spent years running an assassination prep campaign against him and others. The left maligned Kirk, President Donald Trump, and conservatives writ large as \u201cfascists\u201d or \u201cNazis\u201d or \u201cHitler.\u201d In doing so, they were making violence against Kirk and others permissible, since resisting \u201cHitler\u201d or \u201cNazis\u201d by any means necessary is understandable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why Piker mocks Kirk and why students at Georgetown University are treating Sept. 10 as a day of fun and celebration. It\u2019s why a tattoo artist in Portland is <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/2097018059865063729?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly <\/a>offering \u201cdiscounted neck tattoos \u2026 to celebrate [Kirk\u2019s] assassination,\u201d according to Libs of TikTok. Kirk\u2019s murder is not a tragedy because Kirk was a \u201cfascist,\u201d evil, or bad in their eyes, so violence against him becomes permissible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But violence being permissible is literally part of the communist framework. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karl Marx <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/marx\/works\/1848\/communist-manifesto\/ch04.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> in <em>The Communist Manifesto<\/em> that communists \u201copenly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/lenin\/works\/1917\/staterev\/ch02.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and that<\/a> \u201cthe violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat.\u201d To Marx and his leftist disciples, violence is not inherently wrong. In fact, sometimes it\u2019s needed and justified (in their minds) so they can attain what they consider liberation and progress, which is why murdering Kirk has been treated as permissible by so many on the left and why they celebrate the anniversary now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
