UTSA student controversy regarding Charlie Kirk poem
Overview
Isa Casahuga-Lemgruber, a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, faced significant scrutiny after reciting a poem at a Turning Point USA event that celebrated the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk. The poem, delivered under the pseudonym “Pamper Baby,” reportedly included references to Kirk being shot in the neck.
The incident led to calls for university disciplinary action and criticism from political figures, including Jack Posobiec, who described the act as an open celebration of violence. Following the backlash, Casahuga issued a video apology, stating her comments were “beyond inappropriate and hurtful” and expressing regret to the Kirk family. While Casahuga emphasized that political violence is never acceptable, some critics on social media have questioned the sincerity of the apology, alleging it was prepared by legal and PR professionals during a university conduct review.
