Daily Wire host Isabel Brown is set to speak at a Turning Point USA event at Colorado State University — an event where the campus organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, was initially scheduled to appear before his assassination in Utah on Wednesday, September 10.
Brown, an alumna of CSU herself and the former TPUSA president for that campus’ chapter, said that the organization had declined to cancel the planned event in the wake of Kirk’s murder — but had instead booked a larger venue and forged ahead with what quickly became a vigil for their late founder.
“Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak tomorrow at my alma mater, Colorado State University, where in 2018 he came to speak to our @TPUSA chapter while I was then-chapter president,” Brown posted via X. “He was SO excited to be back in Fort Collins, and two weeks ago was texting me links to local media coverage about his return to campus.”
When Kirk was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University a week prior, however, Brown said that the expectation was that TPUSA would cancel the Colorado State University event.
“Everyone expected the students to cancel their event,” she continued. “Instead, they moved it — to the largest venue on campus as a place for people across Colorado & the West to mourn Charlie’s life and honor his legacy. I am humbled and honored to have been asked to return to CSU to speak tomorrow at Charlie’s vigil.”
“This will be one of the hardest events I’ve ever done, but easily the most important by a mile,” she concluded. “See you tomorrow, Rams. God Bless You.”
Brown offered her thoughts on Kirk’s passing — and his legacy — in a lengthy post still pinned to her X profile.
“He transformed the world. And we will never be the same without him,” she said at the time.
