Kyle Rittenhouse delivers a speech at the University of Memphis, surrounded by a less crowded auditorium.
Kyle Rittenhouse returned to the University of Memphis for a speech organized by Turning Point USA, attracting a small audience. While he faced protests outside, the event differed significantly from his earlier visit, with a more controlled atmosphere. Rittenhouse reflected on his past decisions and the changing campus climate surrounding free speech. The event sparked diverse reactions among students, highlighting the ongoing balancing act between open dialogue and controversial opinions in academic settings.
In the vibrant city of Memphis, a notable event unfolded as Kyle Rittenhouse made his return to the University of Memphis this past Wednesday. This wasn’t Rittenhouse’s first visit; he previously graced the university with his presence nearly a year ago, only to be met with loud disapproval and interruptions that led to a rather abrupt exit.
This time, the atmosphere was markedly different. Approximately 40 attendees gathered in the auditorium, which had a capacity of over 330 seats. You could almost feel the spaciousness echoing as Rittenhouse began his speech around 7:15 p.m. and wrapped it up shortly after 8 p.m.. This quieter assembly was hosted by the university’s chapter of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), and the conversation centered around the Second Amendment and Rittenhouse’s harrowing experiences during his high-profile homicide trial.
