Barron Trump remains elusive at NYU, but he’s already managed to cause drama among collegiate Republicans. In a Vanity Fair report published last week, Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU College Republicans, remarked on how little Donald Trump’s six-foot-seven teen son appears at school, observing that Barron is “sort of like an oddity on campus.” “He goes to class, he goes home,” she added. She also brought up a joke from one of her professors that “he doesn’t really belong here.”
Fairly tame comments if you ask me, but the College Republicans of America apparently found them incendiary enough to publicly disavow. In a press release, they said that Walker’s remarks, though “unfairly framed” by Vanity Fair, did “not align with the values and principles upheld by the organization.” During last year’s presidential election, per their statement, the CRA broke a 100-year precedent to endorse Donald Trump before the Republican primaries. “Our support for Donald Trump has been a pillar of the organization,” they asserted before extending an offer to Barron to join their organization. The release also announced Walker’s official resignation. How’s that for cancel culture?
