Isa Casahuga, the University of Texas at San Antonio student who stood up at a Turning Point USA campus event and recited a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk while taunting conservative activist Christian Collins, released an apology video on Friday night.
In the video, posted and amplified by Brian Atlas of the Whatever podcast, Casahuga sits facing the camera and delivers a prepared statement claiming she has spent time in prayer and reflection.
Casahuga apologizes to Erika Kirk and her children, to Collins, and to anyone else she “may have hurt,” and says political violence is never acceptable.
Many pointed out that it looked like she was reading off a teleprompter and questioned whether she, her parents, or AI wrote the words.

In the video, Casahuga states:
My name is Isa Casahuga, and after much prayer and reflection, I’d like to come out and sincerely apologize for the comments I made on September 23, 2026, at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
First, I’d like to directly apologize to Miss Erika Kirk, her children, and the entire Kirk family. My words were deeply insensitive, to say the least, particularly considering the unfathomable loss your family has experienced.
I’d also like to apologize directly to Mr. Christian Collins. Mr. Collins, what I said at your Pick Up The Mic rally was beyond inappropriate and hurtful, and for that, I am so sorry.
Lastly, I would also like to apologize to everyone that I may have hurt with my comments that day. There is nothing acceptable or funny about political violence and even less the loss of a person’s life. Regardless of our political beliefs or opinions, we should all strive to treat one another with the utmost respect, compassion, and above all, dignity.
I understand why my words caused so much pain and I take full responsibility for them. My faith teaches me the importance of humility, compassion, and above all, forgiveness, and I recognize that my words did not reflect those values on September 23.
I want to be better going forward, not only as a Christian and as a person, but as an American. I know that an apology cannot undo what I said and I don’t expect everyone to forgive me after this, but I sincerely hope that through my actions I can learn from this experience and ultimately earn a second chance in life. Thank you.
In a follow-up post, Atlas noted, “Citing John 8:7-11 ‘let him who is without sin cast the first stone’ in an apology is super insincere. Instead of taking ownership, she uses scripture to deflect accountability by pointing out everyone else’s flaws, silence critics, and demand immediate forgiveness. A genuine apology focuses on the harm done, not shielding the person who did it.”

Casahuga, who introduced herself at the TPUSA event as “Pamper Baby,” said at the September 23 event that she had taken a Plan B, was an immigrant, and felt “kind of guilty” before reading her poem about the “Kirkiversary.”
WATCH:
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered.
I told her I’d pray for her.
This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway. https://t.co/ZfipQsosaF

She also told Collins he was “brave” for not covering his neck.

Before becoming infamous online for mocking an assassination victim, Casahuga attended the private Catholic St. Agnes Academy in Houston, where tuition runs about $28,400 a year, and is the daughter of Houston realtor Paula Lemgruber Casahuga, who was born in Brazil, and Guillem Casahuga, a partner at the consulting firm Arthur D. Little.
Casahuga’s parents’ professional pages had been scrubbed from the internet after the video went viral.
A website was registered under her name, isacasahuga.com, and published the poem in full along with family details.
According to reports, she is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the University of Texas System issued a pointed statement Thursday about the incident.
Board of Regents Chairman Kevin Eltife and Chancellor John Zerwas said they were aware of the incident and declared, “We will not tolerate the incitement of violence or the threat of incitement of violence by any member of our UT community. UT San Antonio will handle this incident consistent with the law.”
Erika Kirk nor TPUSA have publicly responded to the video as of late Saturday evening.
