The University of Delaware is under fire after a student-run, faculty-backed TV show mocked the murder of Charlie Kirk.

In early October, a student television show at the University of Delaware released a "special thanks" to "Charlie Kirk's killer" at the end of a comedy program—but quickly removed the bit after public outrage.

The Biweekly Show is a student run comedy program supervised by the University of Delaware's Department of Communication and led by a faculty advisor. The university has "unequivocally" condemned the show's mockery of Kirk, but it is unknown at this time whether any disciplinary action was taken.

"We want to state clearly that UD does not condone the use of any language that diminishes the value of human life. Respect and civility are core University values," a university spokesman said. "UD remains committed to fostering opportunities for dialogue about civility and the responsibilities that come with free expression in a diverse and inclusive community."

Alongside the "special thanks" to Kirk's killer, the comedy program took another jab at the conservative icon who was gunned down by Tyler Robinson during a campus debate tour in Utah. "More like 'Charlie Twerk' the way that ass dropped," the show's host, Reed Stoltz said.

Actors portraying President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, a drunken War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and two soldiers burst in, throw him onto a table, and cover his head with a sack.

"Charlie's body isn’t even cold yet, have some respect," said a student actor portraying second lady Usha Vance.

Following the release of the show, Delaware Republican Party executive director Nick Miles condemned the actions of the students and faculty responsible, saying it was "disturbing and unacceptable."

"This program operates under faculty oversight, with taxpayer-funded resources, and carries the University’s stamp of approval," Miles wrote in a statement.

The University of Delaware did not respond to Restoration News's request for comment on the incident or whether any disciplinary action was taken.

Communist Campus Chaos

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the ugly undercurrent of America's Marxist-tainted academic culture came into view, as teachers and students across the country mocked and vilified the late father and husband.

In Virginia, Restoration News exposed a history professor at Virginia Tech who made deeply offensive comments equating a student-led vigil for Charlie Kirk with a Ku Klux Klan rally. 

"I considered it my civic duty to let everyone know that a vigil for Kirk is the ideological equivalent of a Klan rally," said the professor, Nicholas Copeland.

In South Carolina, two Clemson University teachers were fired for inappropriate posts about Kirk's death.

"Clemson University has dismissed two faculty members following a thorough investigation of inappropriate social media content in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk." A university spokesperson wrote. "Clemson remains resolute in its commitment to cultivating an environment that is safe, respectable, and conducive to academic excellence."

In Tennessee, two Cumberland University faculty members were fired for "inappropriate" comments about Kirik, according to the school. One of the faculty, Dr. Michael Rex, posted several comments about Kirk including "Karma is beautiful…"

"The decision was not made lightly," Cumberland University said in a statement. "We understand the importance and impact of this action, and we want to emphasize that we conducted a comprehensive investigation prior to making our decision."

At Middle Tennessee State University an assistant dean was removed after posting she had "zero sympathy" for Kirk. The posts were made public by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R).

In Mississippi, a faculty member at the University of Mississippi was fired for reposting "hurtful and insensitive" comments.

"The comments run completely counter to our institutional values of civility, fairness and respecting the dignity of each person," the university statement said. "We condemn these actions, and this staff member is no longer employed by the university."

Staff Accountability

Over the past year, a wave of politically motivated assassinations and attempted assassinations have been carried out by leftist zealots. Now more than ever, it is essential that the violence is condemned and that those encouraging it face real consequences.

The remarks made by the faculty-overseen comedy show at the University of Delaware raise serious concerns about the standards and values of those employed by a state-funded institution.

Individuals who wish to downplay or normalize the assassination of those who share different political views must be firmly punished and educational environments must remain free from the normalization of political violence.
