A conservative George Washington University student is speaking out after an assistant campus director at George Washington University posted on social media that it was “fair” Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he supported the Second Amendment.

“If nothing else, it is fair, in a nation where children get massacred by gun violence on the regular, the people who advocate for continued gun ownership at the expense of those children are not immune from the consequences of their advocacy. No thoughts, and no prayers,” posted Anthony Pohorilak, assistant director of academic initiatives at George Washington University’s Mount Vernon campus.

He wrote the message on Facebook, according to Fox News, which first reported on the post.

Olivia D’Angelo, a GWU graduate student, told The College Fix on Saturday she is “disgusted” by Pohorilak’s post. As an undergrad at UNC Asheville, she founded and served as president of the Turning Point USA chapter there until her graduation in May 2025.

“I did this because of Charlie Kirk. His dedication to Christ and the truth of the gospel was inspiring, and I wanted to challenge politics that lead people away from God. I wanted to be like him,” D’Angelo (pictured) told The Fix via email.

She said his “brutal death” is heartbreaking for her and all those involved in the TPUSA movement. 

“I was disgusted to see a member of the George Washington University administration posted such a heinous and morally bankrupt comment about the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” she said. 

“…If they are okay keeping this person here, how many of their employees silently support extremism and terrorism like this man? Am I safe here as someone who dearly loved Charlie Kirk and formerly engaged with Turning Point USA? For a school that has a center called the Program on Extremism, I would have thought GWU would take one of their employees supporting extremism and terrorism more seriously,” D’Angelo said.

GWU’s media relations division did not immediately respond to The College Fix’s request for comment over the weekend. Pohorilak also could not be reached, as his bio page had been taken down, removing his contact information.

“The George Washington University unequivocally condemns all forms of violence,” a university spokesperson told Fox News.

“As a university with one of the most politically engaged campus communities in the country, we believe everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and no one should ever be subject to violence for expressing their views. This individual employee is not authorized to speak on behalf of GW, and his opinions do not reflect those of the university.”

D’Angelo said she disagrees with the university’s decision.

“I expected that GWU would fire the employee who posted this statement like many other businesses and organizations have,” she told The Fix. “Seeing the university repeatedly make statements to news outlets and in an email this morning to the student body that this person is still a staff member was infuriating and scary.”

She may drop out of GWU’s Master of Professional Studies in Publishing program she just recently began, she added.

“I have not made a final decision on my future affiliation with the institution. For now, I am going to advocate for dangerous and heartless people like this employee to lose their positions at the university for all of our safety, reflect on their actions, and hopefully change their minds and come to Christ,” D’Angelo said.

“Until then, I will keep praying for this employee, Charlie Kirk’s family, those at the UVU event, the safety of GWU’s campus, and everyone affected by this employee’s comments.”

D’Angelo said Kirk’s assassination has emboldened her.

“I only plan to be more courageous and outspoken about my faith and my values,” she said. “I won’t let the shooter and those who support him win. I know many other young patriots feel the same way.”
