Student celebrates Charlie Kirk’s murder in campus poem — then tells speaker he’s ‘brave’ without neck protection

THE DAILY BS: HOW MUCH CAN YOU HANDLE?

SPARE ME THE BS (I’ve got things to do)

A participant at UT San Antonio recited a poem mocking Charlie Kirk’s killing at a TPUSA ‘Pick Up the Mic’ event.
After referring to a shot to the neck, she told speaker Christian Collins he was brave to appear without neck protection.
Collins responded ‘I’ll pray for you,’ and a video of the exchange prompted widespread criticism.

LAY IT ON ME (I’ve got time)

Turning Point USA’s ‘Pick Up the Mic’ tour invites campus participants to challenge conservatives and ask questions. At the University of Texas at San Antonio, one participant arrived with a poem about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

A young woman identifying herself as ‘Pamper Baby’ approached the microphone during an event with conservative speaker Christian Collins. Asked whether she had a question, she replied that she simply wanted to share something she had written, invoking her free-speech rights.

She recited a parody of ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’ that mocked Kirk’s murder and referenced the fatal shot to his neck. Kirk was killed September 10, 2025, during a campus appearance at Utah Valley University.

After Collins asked if she was pleased with herself, she replied, ‘Baby, I’m thrilled.’ Then she addressed Collins directly: ‘You’re brave for being out here, you know? No protection, no nothing. No, like, neck brace.’

Consider the setting: a conservative activist was hosting the sort of public campus discussion Kirk had been conducting when he was killed. A participant had just made that murder into an entertainment routine and now drew attention to the current speaker’s vulnerability.

Collins responded with three words: ‘I’ll pray for you.’ He later shared the footage and wrote about the climate facing public campus discussions. Meghan McCain and other commentators condemned the student’s behavior.

The First Amendment protects a broad range of offensive political expression. It doesn’t prevent an audience from questioning whether mocking an assassination and making pointed remarks to another speaker does anything to advance public debate.

The available reporting does not establish that the university took disciplinary action. Nor does it conclusively identify the speaker behind the nickname, so there’s no reason to send an internet mob hunting for her personal details.

The video already offers plenty to discuss: one speaker invited disagreement; another arrived with a taunt about a killing. Collins kept the microphone open and answered with a prayer. That’s a sharper contrast than any staged campus debate could have arranged.
