Male claims he's student who was forced out of Texas college after mocking Charlie Kirk's death. Now he's begging for money.



A male is claiming he's the former Texas State University student who was forced out of the college last week after getting caught on video mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination during a vigil for the slain Christian conservative activist — and he's begging for money on GoFundMe.

In the video, the student is first seen in the crowd saying, "Charlie Kirk got it in the neck!" before slapping the right side of his neck, pretending to convulse, and uttering a number of words that had to be bleeped out of the clip. Some observers are heard laughing at the student.

'Complaining that he was expelled for his words, while mocking a man that was murdered for his words. Grow up, take responsibility, and try and be a good human being.'

Seconds later, the student walked up to the front of the crowd to an elevated position under a statue and announced to those gathered in front of him, "My name is Charlie Kirk," before again slapping the right side of his neck and falling to the ground. As the student walked back into the crowd, he spit on the ground near others and is heard saying in an unredacted video, "F**k that [N-word]."

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott reacted on X to video of the mocking student by writing, "Hey, Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools. Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination[s] must have consequences."

The school issued a statement Tuesday from President Kelly Damphousse saying, "The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday's event. I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values. The individual is no longer a student at TXST."

Two days later, an individual who identified himself as Devion Canty Jr. launched a GoFundMe campaign to "help me cover the costs of pursuing my education elsewhere or taking the necessary steps to return to Texas State."

More from the GoFundMe description:

Recently, I faced a situation where I had to choose between immediate expulsion or withdrawing from the university. I made the decision to withdraw — not because I wanted to leave, but for my own safety and the well-being of the campus community.

Unfortunately, the only public narrative out there is that I am an 'out-of-control, disrespectful young Black man.' In reality, I am a passionate student who made a mistake in the heat of the moment after being repeatedly disrespected — spit on, called racial slurs, and witnessing women being cursed at and pushed around. I spoke up, and while I recognize my actions weren’t perfect, I did not harm anyone.

As of Monday morning, Canty's GoFundMe has generated nearly $25,000 in donations; the goal was $15,000.

In addition, Texas State's Black Men United advertised Canty's GoFundMe campaign on Instagram and added the following statement:

Please support with whatever you can our brother in his fight to return to Texas State University. He was arbitrarily forced to withdraw under pressure from the governor of the state and the many threats to his life. The administration in a completely unprofessional and unprecedented manner presented him with a 'Mafia'-style option of withdraw or be expelled. Mr. Canty earned his way into this university and deserved better treatment and due process from the university. We demand not only that he is allowed to return as a student but that the students who spewed racial vitriol at him at the statues are expelled immediately as they are the TRUE danger to this campus!

Several commenters didn't exactly see it that way:

  • "Well, you now know what accountability is. You CHOSE to behave this way and mock the murder of a God-fearing man, who stood up for everyone in this country. I hope you have learned a valuable lesson. What you did on campus was disgusting," one commenter wrote. "IF this had happened to a family member or friend of YOURS, you would be disgusted that someone would mock their murder the way you did. I pray that God opens your eyes and heart that Charlie’s wife is a WIDOW at age 31. Has two babies ages 3 and 1 years old. Charlie would have happily spoken with you, encouraged YOU to be a better young man and human."
  • "Complaining that he was expelled for his words, while mocking a man that was murdered for his words," another commenter added. "Grow up, take responsibility, and try and be a good human being."
  • "There a PO Box to send flowers?" another commenter quipped.
  • "'I felt like I had no choice but to leave for my safety' now help me raise money to return to the same college I felt unsafe at," another commenter said. "What a clown."

As readers of Blaze News likely already know, an unhinged Texas Tech student was expelled after getting caught on video mocking and accosting a Charlie Kirk supporter. She then allegedly unleashed physical attacks and was soon arrested and charged with assault.

What's more, New York University's College Republicans organized a vigil following Kirk's assassination and were met with hostility, including protesters who got physical with vigil attendees and one guitar player who — after club President Ryan Leonard said he'd pray for his salvation — blurted out a demented song: "I don't want your salvation! I want you to f**king die! We're not gonna give you a second chance, even when you beg for it, on your knees, begging and pleading!"

"To interrupt a solemn vigil full of grieving young people who were trying to honor the life of an inspiration and mentor they looked up to is pure evil, and we will not let them intimidate us into silence," Leonard later said in a statement. "We will go even harder to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk."

Punk college student blatantly mocks Charlie Kirk assassination during campus vigil for slain TPUSA founder. Big mistake.



A student at Texas State University in San Marcos was caught on video blatantly mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk in front of a crowd on campus.

The incident took place during a Monday vigil for the slain Turning Point USA founder, KEYE-TV reported.

'I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses.'

In the video, the student is first seen in the crowd saying, "Charlie Kirk got it in the neck!" before slapping the right side of his neck, pretending to convulse, and uttering a number of words that had to be bleeped out of the clip. Some observers are heard laughing at the student.

Seconds later, the student walked up to the front of the crowd to an elevated position under a statue and announced to those gathered in front of him, "My name is Charlie Kirk," before again slapping the right side of his neck and falling to the ground. As the student walked back into the crowd, he spit on the ground near others and is heard saying in an unredacted video, "F**k that [N-word]."

Reactions to the student demonstratively mocking Kirk's death were stronger, with many uttering stunned "oh!" exclamations. One person is heard telling the student as he walked by, "Oh, buddy! You're gonna get expelled, dude."

The prediction was right on the money.

First off, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott reacted on X to video of the mocking student by writing, "Hey, Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools. Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination[s] must have consequences."

The school issued a statement Tuesday from President Kelly Damphousse saying, "The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday's event. I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values. The individual is no longer a student at TXST."

KEYE said student Hayden Allard spoke with the student in question just minutes before the incident.

"I was like, 'Hey, man, I want to get your input about why you feel this way. Why do you feel this rage?' He just shook his head, and he was like, 'F Charlie Kirk, all my dead homies.' He kept saying stuff like that. He's like, 'You're just talking to a brick wall. You're not getting anything out of me,'" Allard told the station.

Another student, Felix Federer, told KEYE that the part of campus where the incident took place — "The Quad" — is a designated spot for students to express free speech: "I think he should not be expelled just for having his opinions."

As readers of Blaze News likely already know, an unhinged Texas Tech student was expelled after getting caught on video mocking and accosting a Charlie Kirk supporter Friday. She then allegedly unleashed physical attacks and was soon arrested and charged with assault.

George Santos bids a 'fabulous' farewell, surrenders for prison sentence



Former Republican Rep. George Santos of New York faced a highly publicized fall from grace, and the dramatic saga may be coming to a close.

Santos will be surrendering to serve his maximum sentence of 87 months in prison Friday after he pled guilty to charges of federal wire fraud and identity theft. In the midst of his legal debacle, Santos also became the sixth member of Congress ever to be expelled from the House back in December 2023.

'To my critics: Thanks for the free press.'

"Well, darlings… The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed," Santos wrote in his farewell post. "From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it’s been!

"Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I tried… most days," Santos added. "To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it. To my critics: Thanks for the free press."

"I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit," Santos said. "Forever fabulously yours, George."

Santos was launched into the spotlight for his flamboyant personality and unpredictable political displays, whether he was claiming he had "Jew-ish" heritage or if he was rushing around the halls of Congress with a mystery baby.

However, his tendency to embellish eventually caught up to him after he was accused of making various inconsistent claims about his education, professional experience, and finances. He was also accused of making fake donations and a fake nonprofit as well as wire fraud after he spent the donations on luxury items, rent, and Botox.

Santos admitted wrongdoing, but argued that his sentence was unusually harsh, saying many of his former colleagues in Congress would also be in prison if the law was applied evenly.

"Just put it this way," Santos said in an interview with Tucker Carlson. "No one is going to prison for what I'm going to prison for. Because if they were, we wouldn't have half of Congress right now. And that's on both sides."

Santos made similar accusations about his former congressional colleagues in the Blaze Originals documentary "Bought and Paid For," which you can view below.

House expels Santos; Fetterman says Menendez did 'much more sinister ... kinds of things' and should be ousted from Senate



After the House of Representatives voted to expel Republican Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) on Friday, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania reiterated his opinion that Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey should be expelled from the Senate.

"I'm not surprised," Fetterman said of the Santos expulsion during an appearance on "The View," adding that Menendez had engaged in "much more sinister ... kinds of things," and that the senator "needs to go."

Menendez and his wife have been charged for allegedly accepting bribes. A superseding indictment claims that they "agreed to and did accept hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes in exchange for using MENENDEZ's power and influence as a Senator to seek to protect and enrich" three individuals "and to benefit the Arab Republic of Egypt."

Menendez has denied wrongdoing and predicted that he "will be found innocent."

Fetterman has prevoiusly called for ousting Menendez from office. "Senator Menendez should not be a U.S. Senator. He should have been gone long ago. It is time for every one of my colleagues in the Senate to join me in expelling Senator Menendez. We cannot have an alleged foreign agent in the United States Senate. This is not a close call," Fetterman declared in an October tweet.

The House voted 311-114 to expel Santos on Friday, with 105 Republicans joining 206 Democrats to vote in favor of the ouster. Two Democrats joined 112 Republicans in voting against expulsion. Two Democrats voted present.

"As required by law, I will announce the date for a special election in the third district within the next ten days. I take this responsibility seriously, and am committed to ensuring there will be a Member of Congress who can serve Nassau and Queens Counties," a tweet from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated.

Santos, who is facing various charges, has pled not guilty.

According to an October U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of New York press release, Santos has been charged "with one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of access device fraud, in addition to the seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the United States House of Representatives that were charged in the original indictment."

The now-ousted congressman has admitted to "embellishing my resume. I'm sorry," Santos said last year, according to the New York Post.
