University Of Michigan Professor Says Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Is ‘Solution’ To ‘Violent Rhetoric’

University of Michigan assistant professor Charles H.F. Davis stated on Thursday that the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is a “solution” to “violent rhetoric spewed by empowered people.”

Davis’ research broadly focuses on “racism, oppression, and structures of domination in U.S. higher education,” according to The Midwesterner. In addition to defending Kirk’s murder, Davis retweeted several posts that celebrated the assassination.

“Even if you believe violence isn’t the answer, it is a solution, especially to the violent conditions and violent rhetoric spewed by empowered people that create them,” Davis wrote, according to a screenshot provided by The Midwesterner.

Davis retweeted one X post that read, “Charlie Kirk is a reminder of two things: your words don’t skip consequences, they just collect interest. And lastly, empathy has boundaries. Good luck,” according to the outlet. Another post that he retweeted alleged that Kirk spent his career “disparaging immigrants disrespecting women, and blaming black folks.”

The assistant professor teaches an “anti-racism” course and another named “Power, Privilege, and the 🏛️Politics of Difference in Higher Education,” according to the University of Michigan’s website. His X account
