Event at UC Berkeley mocking Charlie Kirk memorial draws scrutiny from State Department
A group of UC Berkeley students who celebrated the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death have caught the attention of U.S. State Department officials.
Spokesman Tommy Pigott told The College Fix in a statement via email that “people in the United States on visas are guests in this country, and we will not tolerate people here on visas who break our laws, support terrorism, or unlawfully incite violence, which ultimately led to the horrific assassination of an American.”
“That is not only common sense, it’s an essential component of our national security. If that wasn’t the policy under the previous administration, it should’ve been, and it is now under the Trump administration,” Pigott said.
At issue is a Sept. 10 event on the one year-anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. Initially, members of Turning Point USA, the conservative campus group founded by Kirk, gathered to solemnly mark his death.
They had a large portrait of Kirk along with posters about “freedom and American patriotism,” according to the Daily Californian student newspaper.
At the event, John Paul Leon, president of TPUSA at UC Berkeley, reportedly said: “You don’t have to agree with everything he said, but when you support the literal political violence and action against this man, that is an act of moral depravity.”
“A few hours later, at 6 p.m., a bustling crowd of students gathered” to celebrate the death of Kirk, the Californian reported; the “Kirkversary … brought students together to sing, cheer and boo at Kirk’s memory."
