University of Georgia Student Protesters Repeatedly Disrupt Talk by Republican Congressman Mike Collins
“How dare you come on this campus and exploit Laken Riley’s death to push your xenophobic, fascist, racist, agenda”
The College Republicans and Turning Point USA at the University of Georgia invited Congressman Mike Collins (R-GA) to speak on campus, but leftist students repeatedly disrupted the event, making it all about them.
This has just become the new normal. Leftist simply will not allow Republicans to speak on college campuses.

Student protesters disrupt conservative congressman’s campus speech: ‘You are a criminal’
Protesters at the University of Georgia disrupted a College Republicans and Turning Point USA event featuring Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA).
The University of Georgia Turning Point USA chapter and College Republicans hosted Collins for a speaking event on Wednesday night, but most of his speech was drowned out by protesters who had to be removed from the room.
One individual accused Collins of exploiting the death of Laken Riley, who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant while jogging at the University of Georgia.
”How dare you come on this campus and exploit Laken Riley’s death to push your xenophobic, fascist, racist, agenda…people are in this country legally and your f–king cops are gonna get them arrested and deported,” the individual said before being escorted out of the event by police.
”F**k you, you’re a b***h,” the individual said.
Another individual disrupted the event a short time later, reading what appears to be a script off her phone about abortion.
”Take your white supremacist rhetoric elsewhere, your neo-nationalist rhetoric elsewhere representative. You do not represent us, and you do not represent me,” one woman said while being escorted out of the event by police.
”You’ve demonstrated that you serve the genocidal state of Israel rather than the American people,” another student yelled at Collins while being taken out of the event by police.
The school newspaper ‘The Red and Black’ described this as backlash:
Mike Collins faces backlash at UGA visit
University of Georgia College Republicans and Turning Point USA at UGA welcomed Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins at the Zell B. Miller Learning Center (MLC) on April 3. However, he was met with students protesting Collins’ immigration stance outside the MLC and demonstrators inside vocalizing their disapproval of the Laken Riley Act and the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza Strip.
Collins authored the Laken Riley Act, which would require the detention of any migrant charged with theft or burglary and was recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, following the alleged killing of Laken Riley.
Alleged killing?

The only thing these leftists understand is force and intimidation. Until the tables are turned on them and they receive real world consequences from law enforcement and then DA’s for their actions, they’re not going to stop.
Absolutely. At least charge them with disorderly conduct. Make them lawyer up and go to court. At least.
Or getting their faces smashed into pulp by other students who are sick of their sh*t would probably work even better.
This sort of thing rarely ever happened on campus at the school I went to back in the 80’s for that very reason. With no cellphone to record it and no internet to broadcast it on, you’d receive an ass kicking in the parking lot for this sort of behavior, and that was the end of it.
“people are in this country legally and your f–king cops are gonna get them arrested and deported,”
The illogic BS is strong in this one Obi Wan.
Maybe the badly behaved children should be expelled and a summer term at the University of Hamas-Gaza Branch should be a precondition for them to be re-admitted to the University of Georgia. I’m sure they (particularly the LGBT kids) would find the experience educational.
Yes, good idea. And their certificate of completion will read:
Universitas Philista, Gaza
Defectum ac Mortas
The ushers at these events need to be younger, meaner, and more forceful.
Why do the organizers let people wearing masks into these talks? The mask wearers are invariably disruptors wanting to disguise their identities and laws against that are on most state codes The laws weren’t removed from the code due to covid, they just weren’t enforced.
https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-16/chapter-11/article-2/16-11-38/
“A person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he wears a mask, hood, or device by which any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer and is upon any public way or public property or upon the private property of another without the written permission of the owner or occupier of the property to do so.”
Yes!
I’m amazed that anybody even listens to a Congressman’s speech, let alone disrupts it.
Do you mean that you are also amazed that anybody even listens to a Congressman’s speech supporting Trump?
It’s all spin. What you want is somebody interested in apt analysis and description. Trump has some of that via a Don Rickles sense of humor, probably the only thing that can defeat the deep state.
Protestors would be good except they’re idiots at analysis and framing.
I don’t care for Trump rallies either, when he’s too much on stage, except for moments that offend the left.
Why don’t you two just get a room?
“apt analysis and description”
So pretentious, it’s borderline parody.
JFC. STFU.
Actually, both. Usually speeches contain little of value and that goes for both sides
The organizers, institutions, government and culture have lost the thread: being a good host means holding a space for your guests; being a good guest means behaving to suppor the host’s hosting.
Once someone there becomes disruptive, it breaks the contract of being a guest, and the host is obliged to hold the space. One person’s space is not another’s: you’d think the “safe space” people would get at least this.
These clowns are no different from sloppy drunks, messing up the party for everyone else. Yet, worse, as they’re not drunk, are purposeful, and feel themselves righteously entitled.
“What you are doing is unacceptable. If you can’t manage yourself, you can get out. If you won’t leave, you’ll be thrown out. Grown-ups get this. It’s a shame that you’ve come so far without learning civil behavior, but your remedial development isn’t my problem.
Straighten out, or get out. I’ve been as clear as I need to be…”
It’s one of the most basic lessons of high school debate club. If you have to repeat yourself while shouting down your opponent and ignoring the moderator, you’ve lost the debate.
Ah yes, slanderous references to the “genocidal state of Israel.” But, no condemnation of the genocidal Islamofascism and Muslim supremacism that lies at the heart of conflict in the middle east.
These wretches are stupid, but, evil nonetheless. Useful idiots spouting the vile Dhimimi-crats’ stock propaganda phrases, like trained seals or lemmings. Not an independent or an original thought to offer, and, certainly no sense of moral probity, despite their obnoxious, loud and self-congratulatory agitprop.
It will take immediate force to stop this. The protesters are brimming with the confidence that comes from moral certainty.
And certainty of no consequences.
Moral certainty is on both sides. The thing to look for is experience.
I prefer to look for laughable vapidity masquerading as profundity, And you’re by far the leading expert on that.
Quite interesting for a bunch of people who don’t possess morals
When these nitwits begin to get expelled this will come to a stop. Until then, if there are no consequences for their actions why should they stop doing what they are doing?
Protesting outside where decent people can ignore their Commie tripe—fine. Disrupting the actual event—expelled for violating the organizer’s efforts and free speech rights. The Big Lie from the left is disrupting your free speech is part of their free speech. That should be rejected as pernicious to free speech.
The heckling is protected free speech. The only way to change that precedent would be to have conservative students about down a beloved liberal
