SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) – A Texas State University student who left the school after a video apparently showing him imitating Charlie Kirk’s death went viral said that what the clip doesn’t show is other students making racist remarks before the recording began.
Devion Canty, who spoke to Nexstar's KXAN from Charlotte, North Carolina, said he had to leave the state due to an inundation of death threats in the wake of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sharing the video on X and calling for his expulsion.
Canty said that in the video’s comments, “you would see, ‘Oh, he’s going to be hanged next,’” he recalled.
“[Around the same time], Trey Reed had got hung, and so they were like, we want to get him next, or we're going to come kill him and his roommates – stuff like that," Canty said.
