Northern Arizona University’s Turning Point USA chapter has faced on-campus harassment since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In late December, chapter event coordinator Amy Rose Lombardo spoke with Fox News about the subject, along with the importance of the American principles the organization promotes.
One incident came around the time of Charlie Kirk’s passing in September 2025. A student abruptly approached a TPUSA table with resources and miscellaneous items on it, and swiped most of the content onto the floor, walking away.
According to Frontlines TPUSA, shortly after this took place, another student threw onto the table an incoherent sketch of a bloodied Charlie Kirk in an apparent attempt to mock him and TPUSA. The picture featured a quote stating, “A good Nazi is a dead one” and the phrase “Free speech!” alongside a heart.
“So, we have seen a few more dramatic protesting strategies,” Lombardo told Fox News, responding to these incidents. “For example, really the first one that we ever got was a woman [who] came by the table and dropped off a note that was a depiction of Charlie’s murder and the comments on it (about) free speech, and only a good Nazi is a dead Nazi.”
“With the table swiper,” Lombardo continued, “to be honest with you, that person just came out of nowhere. She was walking back from a direction that normally we wouldn’t see people, but she went and got food at some sort of area on the opposite side of where we were tabling, came around,and you’ll hear in the video, my sister says, ‘Hey, how’s it going?'”
Lombardo hopes that the mission of TPUSA will inspire Americans to be more optimistic for the future of their country. Concerning those who are against the organization, she hopes “they find their way out of the hatred that they let run their lives.”
“To me, Turning Point means truth and fighting for what you believe in,” Lombardo stated. “Because if we lose all hope, and we just give up on everything, then there’s no way that we’d be able to have a future
