Kyle Rittenhouse shared what went wrong during a Wednesday event at the University of Memphis when protesters disrupted his speech.
Thursday following his appearance at the Turning Point USA event. He explained that a few minutes into his prepared speech, protesters began heckling him. For the remainder of his scheduled 30 minutes, Rittenhouse attempted to take questions from the protesters before he left with his security detail.
“We didn’t want the people that were at that event to know when I was leaving because we did not want to give them an opportunity to mobilize and start shutting down the roads, making a security risk for me,” Rittenhouse said. “And as we saw yesterday, I’m very glad that we left when we did because there would have been a high potential of them being able to move out and chase us down like they did to those poor Turning Point USA students.
“What happened yesterday was the University of Memphis revoked Turning Point USA’s ticketing system and implemented their own ticketing system, alerted the protesters before anybody else that this is the ticketing system in place so that the protesters can go ahead and book all the tickets and either not show up, stage a mass walkout, or just harass me,” Rittenhouse said. “I was in a room with an entire crowd of people who did not like me outside of maybe three or four people.
