A Texas Tech student was arrested after she was filmed mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination and harassing mourners at a vigil for the conservative influencer.
Camryn Giselle Booker, 18, was recorded jumping around and yelling at fellow students paying tribute to Kirk, “F–k y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.”
Booker is then seen confronting a man in a red MAGA hat, who lets out a groan and says while panning to Booker, “Evil is real, people — and it kind of looks like that.”
The man then asks her why she’s “being so hateful” as she shoves her phone in her face and repeats the same question back at him. He then asks her to back up. She continues to hold a phone in the man’s face and he finally tells her, “I want to be left alone.”
Booker then explodes after someone off-camera tells her she is being too emotional.
“I’m not being emotional, ma’am. Don’t tell me what I am and what I’m not,” Booker says. “’You could get out of my face ’cause I can tell you what you are, but you won’t like it.”
She then calls them racist when they say she is being overly aggressive.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
“I’m not being aggressive. My voice is very calm. You’re calling me aggressive because I’m a black woman,” she says.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott later shared an image of Booker being handcuffed.
“This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech,” wrote.
“FAFO,” he added — an acronym for “F–k around and find out.”
Booker was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. She was also cited for assault, the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the Daily Mail. She was released on a $200 bond the following day.
Abbott said in another post that Booker “definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk.”
“Thanks Texas Tech,” the governor wrote.
“We, @TexasTech, are proud of our values and are not afraid to stand up for them. Strive for Honor Evermore! Long Live the Matadors!!,” Cody Campbell, chairman of the university’s board of regents, wrote on social media.
Kirk, 31, was shot dead Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University.
