The University of Tennessee-Knoxville is condemning messages that celebrate political violence after mysterious "Kirkaversery" [sic] flyers advertised a gathering apparently marking one year since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring, "WE WILL CELEBRATE THE FIRST NEW YEAR AK (AFTER KIRK)."
The flyers, images of which circulated widely on social media and by Libs of TikTok, advertise an 8 p.m. Sept. 10 gathering on the HSS Lawn at UT Knoxville. But the university told Fox News Digital that it is not sponsoring an event related to Kirk’s assassination and that no organization has registered to use the location for such a gathering.
A university spokesperson told Fox News in a statement Wednesday. "At this time, the university has not determined whether the flyers are connected to anyone affiliated with UT."
The spokesperson added, "The University of Tennessee strongly condemns any message or activity that celebrates or makes light of violence or the loss of human life. We remain committed to ensuring our campus is a place that values civility and where human dignity is respected."
It is unclear who is behind the apparent event.
Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University during his "American Comeback Tour."
Other advertisements for similar events have appeared at various schools across the country, with students at Georgetown University allegedly planning a Kirk "lookalike contest" for the anniversary of the conservative activist’s assassination. The event drew thousands of upvotes on Fizz, an anonymous social media platform popular with Georgetown students, according to screenshots shared with Fox News Digital from the school’s Turning Point USA chapter.

Imagine if the right “celebrated” George Floyds death.
You cannot hate these people enough.
The left murders people they don’t agree with. Its all authoritarian, all of the time, then they call everyone else a “NAZI” or “RACIST”.
I don’t think Davey Crockett would have approved.
And some on the right think we can co- exist with them.
Yeah...”cross the aisle” and all that other BS
We SHOULD. Seriously.
"Appeared?" "APPEARED?" "APPEARED?"
Beastly, reprehensible subhuman vermin. That is what Leftists are.
That’s the truth.
See my tagline.

Those who believe coexistence is possible with the commie leftists are unbelievably naive and ignorant.
Agreed. George Floyd was nothing but a worthless piece of garbage criminal who had a long rap sheet.
The left is just projecting as usual.
This is a VERY HEAVLY evil day today. Feeling it in the Spirit.
Even the female announcer is not a believer in that she wished him good luck and not God bless.
Put up a few flyers talking under The Klan and see if they do more than condemn them.
