01
The Incident at UT San Antonio
On October 27, 2026, a Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” event at the University of Texas at San Antonio was interrupted when a student identified as Isabela Casahuga-Lemgruber, who introduced herself as “Pamper Baby,” read a poem that celebrated the anniversary of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk’s killing. The verses, modeled on Clement Clarke Moore’s “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” referenced “a shot to the neck” and concluded with the line, “You’re brave for being on this campus with no neck brace.” The performance was captured on video and quickly spread on social media.

Background: Kirk’s Killing and Campus Politics
Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist, was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University. Sources differ on the exact date, citing September 10, 2025 and September 12, 2025. His death has become a flashpoint in campus debates over free speech and political violence. Turning Point USA’s campus outreach program regularly hosts “Pick Up the Mic” sessions that invite students to question speakers on contentious issues.

Official Responses
The university issued a statement that it “takes the matter seriously” and is reviewing the incident through its student-conduct processes, citing applicable state and federal law.
Christian Collins, founder of the Texas Youth Summit and the event’s featured speaker, responded on social media that he would “pray for you.” He also told the student, “I’m not afraid because I know where I’m going.”

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Two factual discrepancies appear across the sources. First, the date of Kirk’s assassination is reported as both September 10, 2025 and September 12, 2025. Second, the student’s identity is variably given as Isa Casahuga-Lemgruber, Pamper Baby, or an unnamed “young woman.” No outlet has independently verified the name, and the university cited FERPA restrictions that prevent further comment.
