The head of the New York University College Republicans has resigned after comments she made about Barron Trump during a recent interview.<\/p>\n

Barron has been attending classes at New York University’s Stern School of Business since September, having graduated from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy in May.<\/p>\n

But last week, (12 February), New York University College Republicans president Kaya Walker landed herself in hot water when she commented on what\u00a0Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0son was like on campus.<\/p>\n

Walker described the 78-year-old president’s youngest son as ‘sort of like an oddity on campus’ to Vanity Fair, adding that\u00a0Barron<\/a>, 18, ‘goes to class, he goes home’.<\/p>\n

She also\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the outlet that one of her professors joked that the teen ‘doesn\u2019t really belong here’, making a reference to the school\u2019s historically liberal\u00a0politics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of Barron’s classmates also recounted an anecdote of asking to play basketball with him, claiming he seemed interested but got the sense that ‘he wasn\u2019t really allowed to do stuff’ as plainclothes Secret Service officers kept a close watch.<\/p>\n

Since Walker’s comments, College Republicans of America (CRA) has issued a statement on the matter.<\/p>\n

It begins: “In light of recent reports concerning the President of our New York University (NYU) chapter, College Republicans of\u00a0America<\/a>\u00a0(CRA) wishes to address the situation directly.<\/p>\n

“We have been made aware of a statement made by the NYU chapter President that does not align with the values and principles upheld by our organisation.”<\/p>\n

Accusing Vanity Fair of ‘unfairly framing what was said’, the CRA noted: “Upon review, we still found it to be inappropriate. The NYU chapter President submitted her resignation last night.”<\/p>\n

The statement, posted to X on Monday (17 February), went on to state: “CRA broke with 100 years of precedent when we endorsed President\u00a0Trump<\/a>, being the first national College Republican organisation to endorse a candidate before the beginning of the primary season.<\/p>\n

“CRA proceeded to make more than one million voter contacts throughout the primary and general elections, sending hundreds of our students wherever the Trump campaign needed them.<\/p>\n

“Our support for President Trump is, and has been, a pillar of our organisation.”<\/p>\n

In response to recent events with our NYU chapter, College Republicans of America formally invites Barron Trump to join us in reshaping the Republican Party. https:\/\/t.co\/ydxk0gVC9x<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/P56fNsFqyU<\/a><\/p>\n
