The event was promoted on social media and garnered significant attention,including over 2,200 upvotes from Georgetown students. The university and TPUSA condemned the event, stating no such activities are planned and emphasizing their commitment to respectful dialog. Additionally, there are jabs at a potential Erika Kirk lookalike contest, mocking her and suggesting pairing her with Charlie Kirk\u2019s supposed doppelganger. TPUSA leaders condemned any disrespect toward Kirk and his legacy, asserting that such acts cross the line of political disagreement. The university emphasized its stance on free speech but condemned making light of violence victims. This controversy follows a heartfelt tribute from Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk\u2019s widow, who expressed grief and gratitude for her late husband&#8217;s influence.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Turning Point USA is denouncing rumors about an upcoming event at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., where students will reportedly participate in a Charlie Kirk \u201clookalike contest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/georgetown-students-plan-charlie-kirk-lookalike-contest-anniversary-assassination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published<\/a> a piece about the event Monday after the school\u2019s TPUSA chapter d screenshots of promotional posts from social media.<\/p>\n<p>The event is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 10, which is the anniversary of Kirk\u2019s assassination that took place in 2025 at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n<p>The contest was promoted on the anonymous social media platform \u201cFizz,\u201d used by Georgetown students, with the first announcement getting over 2,200 upvotes.

Shame on any of the mockers and trolls who debase themselves by continuously proving Charlie outclassed them in every conceivable way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Georgetown University spokesperson provided a statement and said there is \u201cno activity on campus related to these posts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorgetown is not planning such an event and, to our knowledge, no student organization is hosting or planning such an event,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take these anonymous posts seriously and condemn their language as deeply inconsistent with Georgetown University\u2019s values. We are monitoring this closely to ensure the safety of the University community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson added, \u201cGeorgetown is committed to ensuring that all members of our community have a safe and welcoming place to learn and receive the support they need to do so. We seek to create a living and learning community that promotes thoughtful, respectful dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The school said it supports \u201cfree expression of ideas and opinions,\u201d but went on to say that \u201cmaking light of a victim of violence is counter to our values and deeply disappointing. Students are expected to know the policies that guide life on campus, including the Speech and Expression policy and the Code of Student Conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This news comes just days after Erika Kirk, who took over for her late husband as CEO of TPUSA, wrote a touching tribute to her husband in The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/erika-kirk-opens-losing-charlie-one-year-later-touching-op-ed-blessed-wife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">described<\/a> the aftermath of his death as a \u201cfever dream\u201d of grief, but expressed gratitude for the time they d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOccasionally, I\u2019m asked whether I\u2019m angry at God.
