A southern college student celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination in a foul rant and told another conservative speaker, 'You're brave being here without your neck covered.'
The young female, who has not been identified, proudly stepped up to the microphone at Christian Collins' 'Prove Me Wrong/ Pick Up the Mic' on September 23 at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
Similar to Kirk, Collins is a prominent conservative activist who works with Turning Point USA's campus initiative. He also leads Texas Youth Summit and ran for Congress in the Lone Star State.
On Wednesday, he shared a clip of his interaction with the student, who referred to herself as 'pamper baby' before reciting a poem she wrote that seemingly celebrated Kirk's death.
Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. His alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged in connection with the shooting and is currently awaiting trial.
The long-haired student with glasses kicked off her spiel by telling Collins that she prepared a poem about Kirk's assassination for the event, which mimicked Clement Clarke Moore's iconic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.'
After she shared it, the student confidently told a seemingly unamused Collins: 'You're brave for being out here, I mean, no protection, no nothing, no, like, neck brace.'
Following her apparent threat on his life, Collins calmly told the woman: 'I'll pray for you.'

Before her comment to Collins, the woman recited a poem from her phone.
'So, I took a plan B, and I'm an immigrant this morn - like, feeling kind of guilty, so I wanted to read a poem that I actually wrote,' she started.
Collins asked her if she had a question for him, but the woman said her only objective was to share the poem because she has 'freedom of speech.'
'Twas the night before the Kirkaversary, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
'The flags were hung proudly, the memes all on deck as we solemnly remembered a shot to the neck,' she said while looking up from her phone.
A small group of people cheered as Collins sat back in his chair with a straight face.
'The podcast fell silent, the hot takes grew weary, for tomorrow, dear friends, is the great Kirkaversary,' she said as her poem ended.
But the woman wasn't done just yet, as she looked out to the crowd and said: 'So I'll see everyone at the squirt for Kirk, we're hosting that, also on October 10th. I'll see y'all there.

The moment quickly sparked controversy, with many commenters expressing their anger over the woman's statements
'It's a BYOE, you know, vaccines included. S***'s free, see y'all there. That's all,' she said as she turned toward Collins and smiled.
'Are you happy with yourself now?' he asked her.
'Baby, I'm thrilled,' she responded before carrying on with her neck brace line.
Collins captioned the post: 'At @utsa for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
'I told her I’d pray for her. This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.'
The moment quickly sparked controversy, with many commenters expressing their anger over the woman's statements.
Political commentator Meghan McCain bashed the student, whom she claimed is 'so poisoned.'

'I don't know how we combat this. This young woman is so poisoned, so vile, filled with so much evil and hate.
'I hope the internet makes her famous and every job application she applies for sees this video and what kind of person she is,' McCain wrote on X.
'She has no soul. There is nothing fixing that,' a commenter posted.
Libs of TikTok, a far-right social media platform, also shared its dismay over the student's comments.
'It's a death cult. I don't want to share a country with these evil freaks. The left wants us all dead. Vote like your life depends on it,' the account wrote, referring to the upcoming midterm elections.
Riley Gaines, another conservative activist, also shared her disgust
