On Tuesday, two conservatives in red Make America Great Again hats set up a table at Tennessee State University as part of what they're calling the "Fearless Tour." The University put out a statement saying that the individuals were unaffiliated with the university and didn't secure advance approval and permitting to set up a table on campus. Fair enough.

In its statement, TSU also claimed that, "At all times, TSU students conducted themselves in a professional and respectful manner."
Yeah, right. The video says otherwise.
Here are @TSUedu students repeatedly stealing and destroying our signs yesterday. You see them bring screwdrivers as weapons, and then block us into the campus when we tried to leave. pic.twitter.com/CLXUFS0ghZ

TSU released a statement claiming that students conducted themselves in a “PROFESSIONAL MANNER” in response to our table on campus.

They attacked us, our car, stole our posessions, screamed “BLACK POWER” in our faces and threatened us with weapons. https://t.co/PQRqWFUrOd
“At all times, TSU students conducted themselves in a professional and respectful manner.”

This university is a joke. https://t.co/qtNlyn7Gde
TSU calling chaos “professional and respectful” is on brand for a school drowning in audits, board purges, and $46M deficits. This university really is a joke.

You came out unharmed. Perhaps that is the standard at this school.

Here's what triggered the campus police to respond to the students conducting themselves professionally and respectfully.

"Let's talk." Sounds like incitement to us.
How is this Tennessee? This university needs a lesson in defunding if it persists in supporting this type of violence and threats against free speech on campus. We all thought that universities were about teaching HOW TO THINK, not what to think.

They were very professional.. I wonder if people will look at resumes, and if they see @TSUedu they move into the next?

Well, education is not the fix, apparently.

Cam, please, get out of that whole area. Try to go to places where Charlie and his tours went first, emotions are just too high right now.

We'll admit, calling it the "Fearless Tour" so soon after Charlie Kirk was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University is well-deserved.
Tennessee State University made an official statement, sent out an email to all students, engaged NCAAP, and is now “investigating the incident”.

What did we do? Post the actual footage from yesterday because footage doesn’t lie.
Good luck
