Georgetown students posted a Charlie Kirk death day lookalike contest on Fizz for September 10, 2026, the anniversary of his killing at Utah Valley University. The post drew more than 2,200 upvotes and pushed Georgetown's TPUSA chapter onto campus with a protest table.
The Fizz post read, "Charlie Kirk lookalike contest. September 10th 2026. Pull up to Copley Lawn to speak the truth while the cost is high." Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at his American Comeback Tour.
Fizz Post on Copley Lawn
Copley Lawn sits right outside Healy Hall at Georgetown University. In the post, the date and location tied the proposed contest directly to the anniversary of Kirk's death day, turning a campus rumor into a public flashpoint for students who use Fizz, the anonymous platform popular at Georgetown.
One Fizz user wrote, "Can the winner of the Charlie Kirk one be prom king with the winner of this?" Another asked, "Any chance Gtown Chimes could learn this before Thursday?" Those comments show the post moving beyond a single joke and into a wider student conversation.
TPUSA Responds at Georgetown University
Georgetown's TPUSA chapter said members took the line "pull up to Copley Lawn and speak the truth while the cost is high" as likely mocking. The chapter answered on campus with a table, American flags, stickers and signs condemning the planned event.
That split matters because the post used Kirk's name while framing the contest as a challenge to "speak the truth," and the chapter read it as ridicule instead of tribute. Posts on Fizz also discussed an Erika Kirk look-alike contest, widening the backlash around the same campus feed.
Charlie Kirk Death Day
Charlie Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, and the anniversary attached to this post is September 10, 2025, when Tyler Robinson is accused of fatally shooting him at Utah Valley University. Georgetown's undergraduate population is roughly 6,000, which helps explain why a post with more than 2,200 upvotes spread so quickly through a relatively small campus network.
The open question is who started the lookalike contest discussion on Fizz. Until that origin is clear, the record shows a proposed campus event, a forceful student response, and a feed that turned one anniversary into a live campus dispute.
