Georgetown College Republicans Demand Investigation
Members of the Georgetown College Republican Committee are pushing for a “full investigation” into the Left Gun Club after recruitment flyers alluded to the assassination of Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk.
“I think everyone at Georgetown feels a mix of fear and concern about these flyers being distributed initially,” Knox Graham shared with The American Report on Thursday.
Photos of the flyers, which were posted on campus, have surfaced. One read, “Hey fascist! Catch!” and was linked to a leftist group associated with previous violent actions. This group, however, isn’t recognized by Georgetown, per the university’s Campus Groups Club database.
The same phrase has been reported on a shell casing tied to Kirk’s supposed assassin, Tyler Robinson, who allegedly shot Kirk in the neck while he was speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Additional posters appeared Thursday night in the school’s main free speech area, mocking Kirk’s assassination. One depicted Kirk’s face with painted eyes alongside phrases like “I’m following your leader” and a twisted play on words regarding his death.
Following the latest batch of posters, Georgetown University took swift action, removing both sets and notifying the FBI, as stated on Thursday.
The initial wave of flyers claimed to represent “only the political groups that celebrate when the Nazis die.” One included a QR code directing individuals to a page promoting a community resistant to what they see as oppressive forces.
Graham mentioned encountering a “handful” of these flyers while on campus.
He recounted, “I first caught wind of these flyers while in class, and once it ended, I felt compelled to check if they were there for me.” The university Republican elaborated on the “dark” implications behind the flyers’ messages.
“It appears the intent behind the posters is to evoke the kind of dark sentiments we witnessed online in the wake of Kirk’s assassination,” he suggested.
Yet, Graham noted he doesn’t believe these sentiments are widely shared at Georgetown, stating they contradict the principles of Catholic and Jesuit institutions.
He expressed concern, saying, “It’s alarming to think that someone could be shot just for expressing their beliefs.”
Georgetown issued a denunciation of the flyers, affirming their stance that any calls for violence or threats will not be tolerated within the university community.
