Turning Point USA member Davis Thrower speaks out after physically intervening during an assault caught on camera at a University of Texas event that lead to the arrest of a former student.
“They hear something they don’t like and they don’t understand that it’s not acceptable to lash out and physically hurt people.”
Thrower believes online radicalization and a nationwide mental health crisis are contributing to political violence, warning that some young people are struggling to handle opposing viewpoints without turning to aggression. | @foxandfriends

My response to the altercation that took place at my Prove Me Wrong event with TPUSA’s Pick Up The Mic Initiative at UT Tyler today.
A difference in opinion is not a justification for violence! Please pray for this young man to find the truth and learn from his mistake!
11-10-26 “Pick up the mic” event at UTT with speaker @presparsonstx. Incredible to listen to, as always. Disruptions did not stop us, evil shall not prevail 👏🏼☦️🇺🇸
Deranged leftist student was just ARRESTED at the University of Texas after vandalizing an American flag at a TPUSA table and then ASSULTING people with a cane.
We have a communist violence problem
Well, today we had a physical altercation with a student while @presparsonstx was speaking at UTT. Political violence of any kind unacceptable. We won’t move forward as a nation if we assault everyone we simply disagree with. Charlie Kirk promoted debate and dialogue by having conversations with people and trying to see things from other’s perspectives.
Any Tyler ECHS students should look forward to an opportunity to learn about voting and register or pledge to register when you turn 18, if interested!
