Georgetown College GOP board member Knox Graham has called for a full investigation into a leftist gun club at Georgetown University, citing the group’s controversial recruitment materials that reference the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The flyers, which included the phrase "Hey, fascist! Catch!" on "America Reports," have sparked a heated debate over their inflammatory rhetoric and potential incitement of violence.
Graham, who has been vocal about campus free speech issues, argues that the group’s materials cross a line by using provocative language that could be seen as a threat to public safety. He pointed to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure, as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by extremist rhetoric. "This isn’t just about political views; it’s about the safety of our students and the integrity of our institutions," Graham stated in a recent statement.
The leftist gun club, which has been active on campus, has defended its actions by claiming the flyers are meant to foster ideological debate and highlight the dangers of authoritarianism. However, critics argue that the use of Kirk’s assassination as a recruitment tool is both inappropriate and potentially dangerous. As the situation unfolds, Georgetown University officials have yet to comment publicly on the matter, leaving the controversy to simmer among students and faculty.
