Charlie Kirk Look-Alike Contest Advertised at Georgetown

Anonymous posts advertising a Charlie Kirk look-alike contest scheduled for September 10, 2026, at Georgetown University have drawn condemnation and prompted a denial from the institution. The purported event, promoted on the social media platform Fizz, was intended to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the conservative activist's assassination. Georgetown University stated that it was not organizing the event and had no knowledge of any student organization planning such a gathering. A university spokesperson described the language in the anonymous posts as "deeply inconsistent with Georgetown University's values" and "deeply disappointing," emphasizing that making light of a victim of violence runs counter to the institution's principles. The university affirmed its commitment to fostering a safe and respectful learning environment while supporting the free expression of ideas. The posts, which reportedly received over 2,200 upvotes on Fizz, a platform requiring university email verification for interaction with Georgetown's community, have been met with strong disapproval from Georgetown's Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter.
