An unhinged student at the University of Michigan, who is allegedly transgender, was caught on video making a death threat against conservative comedian Alex Stein, telling him to “watch out for a hole in the neck” in an obvious reference to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, during a Turning Point USA campus event.
The threat took place during a Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” free speech event earlier this month, modeled after Kirk’s famous campus discussions.
In the video posted by Stein on X on Tuesday, the student engaged Stein on topics including affirmative action, DEI policies, and meritocracy.
After the exchange, as the student walked away, he delivered the ominous line, “Watch out for a hole in the neck.”

The comment is a clear reference to Kirk, who was assassinated in September by a gunman who shot him in the neck.
Tyler Robinson, 23, has been arrested and charged with the shooting. He was living with his transgender furry boyfriend at the time of the murder.
The threat was made in front of a crowd of students with security present, yet the individual simply walked off without consequences.
The University of Michigan student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, covered the event but focused its outrage on Stein, accusing him of making “racist remarks” during the debates, while barely addressing the student’s explicit threat.
The paper described the comment as an “allusion to the killing of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk” but downplayed any real concern, noting the student “walked away from Stein without confronting any TPUSA event staffers or police officers.”
