But Amy Rose Lombardo, a leader for Turning Point USA at Northern Arizona University, says that since the assassination there has been an increase in threats against other members of the organisation.
"We have seen a few more dramatic protesting strategies," she admitted to Fox News.
"Really the first one that we ever got was a woman came by the table and dropped off a note that was a depiction of Charlie's murder."
The note depicted blood dripping from the neck of a person holding a microphone and included the statement "only good Nazi is a dead Nazi".

In another incident, Miss Lombardo said someone came up to a Turning Point USA display table and destroyed the items on display.
"She smiles at us and swipes the table and leaves," the event co-ordinator explained.
Despite the increase in intimidating behaviour, Miss Lombardo said she will not be deterred for continuing to be proud about her political beliefs.
"Turning Point means truth and fighting for what you believe in," she said.

"If we lose all hope, and we just give up on everything, then there's no way that we'd be able to have a future in America."
Turning Point USA has nearly 800 branches at universities in America and saw tens of thousands of new sign ups following Charlie Kirk's death.
In the face of the attacks, Miss Lombardo said she prays for those behind the incidents. She explained there was a need for people to be able to disagree politically while not reacting with "hatred" to one another.
"I hope they find their way out of the hatred that they let run their lives," she said.
"Because, at the end of the day, even though I disagree with those people, and they may disagree with me, I believe they are just extremely misguided. And they have just been lied to."
Her sentiments echo those expressed by Charlie Kirk's wife Erika in the aftermath of his death.

Speaking at a memorial service in Arizona, she said: "My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life."
The widow of the political activist added: "I forgive him because it is what Christ did. The answer to hate is not hate."
Donald Trump described Charlie Kirk as a "martyr for American freedom" in the aftermath of his death and praised him as "our greatest evangelist for American liberty".
Mr Trump also posthumously awarded him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
