In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk‘s assassination, a TPUSA chapter at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) has faced repeated threats and harassment from left-wing agitators on campus.
One incident in particular prompted concern for the chapter’s safety, leading its president, Nathan McIntyre, to file a police report.
“According to McIntyre, the exchange happened Tuesday in Kirby Hall when three students were working a Turning Point table. At one point between noon and 1 p.m., a person walked by and said he was glad Kirk was killed and that he hoped the UMD Turning Point members were next,” McIntyre told Alpha News.
“It’s our second death threat in six months. We pray this is the last,” McIntyre stated.
“The University is aware of this situation and a review is underway. The safety of our campus community is a top priority. UMD Student Life staff responded promptly to offer support to affected students,” a UMD spokesperson told Alpha News. “The University of Minnesota Duluth stands firmly against acts of violence, intimidation, harassment, discrimination, or other hostile actions. Individuals experiencing any of these actions are encouraged to report them. All reports are taken seriously and thoroughly reviewed.”
Additionally, Clifford Julstrom, who was president of the university’s Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter, repeatedly harassed TPUSA chapter members. He is facing felony charges for violence and misdemeanor fifth-degree assault, according to Alpha News.
Julstrom was also president of the university’s Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter. In April, he allegedly told former TPUSA chapter president Sam Spanier that “he would ‘line all you mother f***ers up against a wall and shoot you.’”
