The right-wing commentator known as “Kent State Gun Girl" tried filming at Rutgers University earlier this week. But she was soon met with a crowd of students who said she was only there to spread hate.

Kaitlin Bennett, who went viral after she posted a photo wearing an AR-10 with her graduation cap on Kent State’s campus, said she was recording a segment about student loan debt for far-right media outlet InfoWars, a website known for posting hoaxes and conspiracy theories. She was trying to film in a space newly dedicated to Class of 1919 alumnus Paul Robeson, a black All-American athlete, entertainer and political activist for civil rights and social justice.

“This is the only space dedicated to the commemoration and celebration of Paul Robeson, and y’all picked this spot?” one woman repeats over and over on a video Bennett posted to InfoWars.

Some of Bennett’s previous antics have drawn serious ire on the Internet. She posted a video of herself drinking from a gallon milk jug in response to a Twitter post from PETA that said, “Cows’ milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists.” And she taunted Parkland school shooting survivor and activist David Hogg, saying “Let’s arm wrestle. If I win, we get to keep the 2nd amendment. If you win, we turn in our guns. Deal?”

When reached by phone Wednesday, Bennett said someone called the police because they didn’t want her on campus. In the video, several officers can be seen talking to both Bennett and the students gathered around her.

A group of liberals at @RutgersU called 911 to try having me kicked off campus because they didn't like that a conservative was talking to students in front of a communist's memorial. 5 cops showed up because someone they disagreed with engaged in free speech.

Students asked her to leave the space and “take her conversations to a space 10 feet away.” She said she didn’t back down without a fight.

@KaitMarieox was asked repeatedly to move her interviews LITERALLY anywhere except for inside the newly created space dedicated to commemorating our notable Black alumnus, Paul Robeson. She later claims she respects the space, but stayed because she was being yelled at to move 🤔 pic.twitter.com/lAUvQMcV47 — Kaylin Nguyen (@kaylin_nguyen) April 30, 2019

While many said they disagree with Bennett’s stance, students denied her claims about why she was asked to move.

Fyi, she initially wasn’t asked to leave the campus. Nor was she asked to leave the memorial for being white, conservative, or having opposing views. She was asked to take her conversations to the grass 10 feet away from the space dedicated to honoring a deceased alumnus. — Kaylin Nguyen (@kaylin_nguyen) April 30, 2019

“We see this on college campuses all the time. The left will throw a temper tantrum, get their way, and then conservatives will feel like they are disenfranchised or underrepresented on their college campuses, in their classrooms, in their dorms because we don’t stand up for ourselves,” Bennett said by phone.

Junior political science major Mustafa Raza said Bennett is hated by both liberals and conservatives on campus, but he does not think Bennett should have been asked to leave.

“It’s a double-edge sword because they are inherently problematic, but it’s automatically problematic to ask them to shut up," Raza said.

But Rutgers officials said they didn’t kick anyone off campus.

“The video speaks for itself. Rutgers is committed to free speech and encourages respectful and vigorous discourse. Rutgers Police did not order anyone gathered yesterday to leave campus,” the university said in a statement.

The incident comes at a time when the U.S. is grappling with the intricacies of freedom of speech, especially on college campuses. High-profile conservative commentators such as Ben Shapiro have been banned from speaking at certain college campuses in recent years.

Bennett lives in Ohio and said she has already left New Jersey.
