The Charlie Kirk Cake Controversy: Rylie Barnes & Riley Beesley Speak Out | PoliticIt

So, you know, it's kind of interesting because, you know, last year and a couple of years ago, we actually had bills on institutional neutrality.

And that has to be the position of the university itself.

So it's interesting that they would take sides in such an issue.

Well, John, that's actually really interesting because when you think about what a university is supposed to be, it's a place of learning.

At the end of the day, We're supposed to go in there and try to get a degree at the end of the day and enter in a field or industry that will hopefully help America and help Utah.

But in this case, we haven't heard of anything being done towards, one, the student who came to us who baked a cake celebrating murder.

We haven't heard anything, maybe potentially her facing any consequences for that.

And, you know, I don't know if I have a strong opinion whether she should or shouldn't.

But it's really weird when you're having the institution single out two specific students, both of one party, one political affiliation, and both who did nothing of what they alleged.

And eventually, that's why the case was dismissed.

Right.

And they even say it themselves, lack of evidence.

They had no evidence that we had done anything wrong.

And then, too, we had great legal services, too.

We had some experts helping us.

These attorneys that we had were great.

And I want to thank Erica Kirk.

uh for putting on retainer these these lawyers these attorneys they did an amazing job and we couldn't have done this without your support and also the support of all the the individuals online

you actually had some attorneys that were paid for by erica

Yeah, it was amazing.

It's really something that you could only imagine maybe like in a story, right? It's insane to think that you can make a social media post that can go so large.

And it's even crazier to think that you can have a university going against you in a case like this.

And then you can have someone as great as Erica Kirk see this and then be willing to support us with attorneys to make sure that the right thing happens.

And that's what happened.
