Response to Comments on Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
Students at the University of Oklahoma participating in the “This is the Turning Point” tour by Turning Point USA took a strong stance against foreign nationals who made offensive remarks regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The event highlighted a broad consensus among attendees to take punitive measures against such individuals.
On Tuesday, a representative from the State Department remarked that the U.S. has no obligation to welcome foreigners intent on harming Americans. Six visas were reportedly revoked following comments made about Kirk, who was killed in Utah last month.
Brooke, a student at Oklahoma City University, expressed her thoughts, saying, “I think it’s a privilege for them to be allowed to come here and go to school and potentially be successful in the United States. For you to come and essentially become prey to the downfall of our country should not be accepted.”
Another student, Corbin from Grand Canyon University, commented, “If you don’t love America, you don’t deserve to be in this country.” Meanwhile, Chris from Wichita State University added, “I think it’s definitely a privilege for students to be here, not a right. I don’t think we should celebrate someone’s death.”
Jake, an OU student, affirmed, “Yes, 100 percent. Visas are a privilege, not a right. We get to choose who comes to this country. We want the best.”
When discussing the freedom of expression on campus, many students felt that conservative voices are often stifled compared to their liberal counterparts. Chris mentioned that conservative students sometimes feel like a “minority” on college campuses and noted the challenges they face in voicing their opinions.
Payton, another OU student, observed that liberal students seem more comfortable protesting conservative views. He stated, “They have their events, and we’re not outside protesting them. But at our events they destroy signs and yell at us.”
Gracie, a student at Oklahoma City University, shared her experience of feeling marginalized in discussions about political ideologies, noting that conservative viewpoints are often dismissed or attacked.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau previously stated, “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.” He expressed his disgust at how some individuals on social media have responded to Kirk’s assassination, urging people to report such comments to the State Department for appropriate action.
Despite the tragic event, students supporting Kirk affirmed their commitment to uphold free speech and not to be intimidated by the circumstances surrounding his death.
