Stood up on the UVU campus within weeks of Kirk's assassination. Discord logs reported by The Cougar Chronicle show members reveling in the killing. The club president, in a recorded protest speech, justified the assassination by calling Kirk 'a divisive and an openly violent person' who 'constantly stirred the pot.' Sources also list Community Defense Club of UVU as a co-sponsor of the 2026 anniversary protest; naming varies across reports.
“It is truthful to acknowledge that Charlie was a divisive and an openly violent person … this was a guy who constantly stirred the pot to advance his own career.”
