A conservative media personality Kaitlin Bennett didn't announce she was visiting Ohio University. But the students didn't need any warning -- hundreds of them showed up to protest her anyways

Conservative media personality Kaitlin Bennett didn't announce she was visiting Ohio University. But hundreds of students showed up to protest her appearance.

Bennett, a controversial activist who drew attention for taking graduation photos with an AR-10 rifle strapped to her back at Kent State University, said she was in Athens, Ohio, on Monday to film a video for Presidents Day.But as soon as students got word she was there, crowds of protesters descended on Bennett as she walked around the campus.

— Sarah Donaldson February 17, 2020 Read MoreBennett shared a video of students gathered around the orange truck she was in as it slowly drove through a parking lot, and some threw water at its windows while she filmed them. She accused students of throwing"projectiles" and dumping hot coffee on her."This is what happens when a Trump supporter goes to a college campus," she tweeted.

Why hasn't she been arrested for threatening to shoot students and Inciting riots. The liberals are not jealous of an out of control con-ser-a-rat who has mental issues. She crave's attention. She needs to leave students who are getting an education alone. It's

She needs to be arrested for inciting a riot.

Sick

Thing is.....their reaction to her coming proves her stupid opinions

She will eventually end up in a porn with a 90 year old Ron Jeremy

And no doubt the Marxists faculty who misinformed these students to begin with just stood back and watched...

Bwahahahahahaha, F democRATs!!!!!!!!!

Thats sad

Yeah. No need to let someone say something you might not agree with. Protest people’s free speech. Hate them for having thoughts other than what you find acceptable. Get your way and you will soon lose the right to protest at all.

And assault her.

Liberal brats attack her.... for no reason.

She just stopped by to use the toilet

The tolerant left again

The left is pathetic

Candy asses

Millennials turning on each other. Just another decision they’ll regret once they grow up and finally move out.

Poor snowflakes on the left.

No one should ever violently protest either party's ideas. What makes us great is the healthy debate and exchange of philosophies. We need more respect of each other. Unite people, we are better than this. We need open minds to create change.

Amazing! They can protest a conservative but no one can protest them! And besides, they knew she was coming! No one is allowed to speak if they disagree with them! No new ideas, no exchange of ideas, just constant hatred! And who keeps stir up the hatred?

Calling her a 'conservative media personality' is a misnomer. She's a YouTuber that targets a conservative audience by pulling stunts to go viral w/ her monetized content. She doesn't actually have a job. CNN is giving her money with this coverage. This is her only labor product.

The party of tolerance is only so when you have the same opinion

why isnt the gun rights advocate standing their ground?

Animals swarmed her

I couldn’t even imagine the amount of coverage and outrage if a liberal media personality got hot coffee dumped on them even if they were attempting to bait conservative students with words

She’s the girl that poop her pants KaitMarieox GunRightsAreWomensRights

If by protest, you mean a mob throwing cups of unknown liquid at her and shouting sexist, bigoted, obscenities...then sure.

She should of retaliated back.

She was so surprised by the protest she didn’t shit herself.

Should have read liberals allowed out long enough to let mummy pick up all their used tissues so there bedrooms get tieded uplol

This is getting waaaay more press than it deserves.

I would like to know where college administrators were? How and why was she allowed to walk around a college campus with an assault rifle? Please do not even try to tell me she felt threatened.

Not a big deal really... Ms. Bennett gets all the attention she is perpetually seeking... and conservatives get to whine and victim play. its actually a win / win situation. 😉

So nice of the left to show how nice they are.

Those weren’t protesters. That was a mob of thugs. Despicable behavior by despicable liberals. If that was done to a democrat and the DNC would be in an uproar.

Just curious did they show up with guns like this publicity hound advocates?

No one likes her. Think someday she would get the point

Lol mad

Most Americans want stricter gun control and a assault weapons ban.

Why are kids protesting gun rights? They're the ones doing all those shootings. Maybe they're the problem, not the laws.

WHO CARES, FLUCKOFF NUT CASE AND GO KILL A BEAR WITHOUT A GUN.

You mean she was swarmed by the liberal Mall animalistic CNN antifada Democrats

Protest her for what? Just because she disagrees with them? This is why Trump will win !!

'Protest'

Haaa yes the liberal left..F those people they dont have a chamce when the real fight starts

Only young, dumb kids will protest against guns because they have not experienced the possible tyranny of what a government can do. Always depend upon the majority of Uni students to be on the wrong side of history.

Which is what she wanted

It’s clear to see who you all agree with. The violent left of course.

She shit herself at a college party

Would say more threatened her

We can’t disturb the sensitive population that is the American college kid. People like the students in Ohio are the reason why there is so much violence over a different opinion. Sad we are incapable of of civility all beach use someone has their own mindset

Your education tax dollars at work. Doesn’t matter what the reason for her visit, they will protest. Just another bunch of close minded students.

The double standard is beyond belief here. If it was the other way around and the right treated a woman like that, CNN wouldn’t call it a protest, they’d call it a riot.

All those peaceful protesters.

As a news source you should be condemning this action by the students not promoting it. Silencing people because of opposite beliefs goes against everything the 1st Amendment stands for. Shame on you

Attention-starved instigator KaitMarieox is the definition of pathetic. Really, who cares about her dumb questions and obsession with assault rifles? She's one of thousands of Americans with an opinion. BFD. Not clever, not insightful, not worth another speck of interest.

Is t this bullying and misogyny? Or is that only when it happens to Democrats?

shouldn't these kids be in class?

This is who Bennett works for.

What exactly did you go there for

Well, her mission was accomplished. Way to feed the attention seeking beast. Fell right into that one...

Why would she announce she’s visiting? Deranged liberals and propaganda network. Shame on you for approving this type of attitude.

“Protest” is apparently what we’re calling it now 🙄 the video I saw was violent and disgusting

First of all why does she need to notify the university she is coming , does liberals notify anyone when they come , oops sorry they are already there! I thought they were diverse and understanding of everyone’s views. I guess not, cnn why don’t you explain why that is please.

Why is she going to college campuses anyway? She isn’t there to learn, her ignorance brings her there, her ignorance is her own downfall.

How is the gun flaunting co-ed a conservative?

Another left tilt headline by then media arm of the Democrat party. Here’s another angle:

Throwing things at people isn’t a protest. It is a riot, and an attack on someone, simply because of disagreement in thought. Signs of immaturity and lack of intellect by those attacking.

Terror-ists

Well aren't they wonderful! Stifling free speech. Yup what America is all about. Good job turning US into a commie marxist State.

'Protest' BKA acting like a bunch of wild baboons.

These were not just protesters. It was a frighteng hate mob!! Kaitlin was afraid 4 their safety!This level of incivility&lack of freedom of speech on college campuses should notBtolerated! StopTheHate love1another God please open the hearts of those filled w hate to your love!

Hi 'CNN!' W/ ToDay's Technology Being Even A Minor Public Figure! The Young Folke's Of ToDay Are Tuned To Who Pop'sUp In Their 'Space!' Oure Wolde Has Changed! 'AmigoDon!'

Wow. Peaceful If you call blocking her when she was walking, throwing things, like hot coffee at her and yelling obscenities in her face then yea it was peaceful. Wtf is wrong with people?

“Protest” as in throw hot coffee, rocks, and bottles at her.

Don’t be fooled, she’s doing this all for her own attention. Next...

CNN encourages this kind of behavior

Fake news CNN. They didn’t just show up and protest. CNNisTrash

Shes going to end up killing someone. And the law will be on her side.

Why do I get the feeling she instigated the whole event for publicity and propaganda?

CatherineJavel3 Verminous hairball.

Assault not protest

The libs do not believe in free speech. We took 8 years under Obama and behaved. It is their turn and they are failing

These attention-addicted conservatives pop up every so often just to maintain their media presence. This too will die down after a bit, a few months will pass, and then she'll do something else to attract attention. She needs it; it's her fix.

It’s “anyway” CNN

Shit her pants at a party though

She pooped her pants at a feb 2019 party and now doesn’t want to discuss it lol

“Protest” makes it sound like the students were peaceful. This was not a “peaceful” protest. They were violently threatening her and throwing objects at her. Totally unacceptable behavior from the students, they are trying to silence opinions they disagree with.

Useless hack printing emotional hate pieces.. Daily distributing StupidBread

We saw the videos already CNN, nice try. They threw projectiles, threatened her, and it wasn’t water they were throwing at the truck (unless water is brown now?). Good freaking grief. At least TRY to be somewhere in the middle.

She's a provocateur promoting the right, she already has, to own a piece of metal to kill.

Will CNN show video

You call that a protest?

CNN loves to show conservatives and Trump supporters being harassed by the Democrat mob.

'Protest'

I bet she wished she had her rifle at that moment.

Shits her pants when she's drunk. Her opinions are instantly invalidated. To anyone that.. Well, doesn't shit themselves.

When you wear an AR-10 strapped on your back in a Kent State University graduation photo, it clearly shows she has zero respect for historical significance. It was in poor taste and all it proved was she’s incesiative to victims & her 2nd amendment rights are above human decency.

“Anyways” is inappropriate grammar for a news organization.

Good to see 'liberals' being all liberal and stuff and being open and accepting of different ideas and beliefs.

Will Trump give her a University?

The tolerance of the left is inspiring

Let’s see—-what did conservatives refer to Greta Thunberg as? Oh yes, that ‘child actor.’ Pretty much the same here. 🙄😆

Protest * and assault her

It’s “anyway,” not “anyways.”

You get what you give

Defund Ohio U and any other college or University that discriminated against conservative people. NO MORE FEDERAL FUNDS.

a conservative mindless personality......

Amazing she went to an extremely historically liberal college for a visit and it didn’t go well. It’s almost like it was for clicks

I have a better headline: Hundreds of violent thugs attack a young girl for walking on campus as police officers watch and do nothing.

It was presidents day, school is out so the students are in the bars. There is 5 bars per street block.

Good! Make the murder mongers feel uncomfortable and unwelcome!

This woman is no media personality. She's an opportunistic attention seeker. Try to maintain some standards in your profession, .

It’s super important we don’t challenge college students with anything outside their comfort zones. College is a time of conformity. Radical ideas nor free speech should be permitted on college campuses.

This is why forgiving student debt is a joke. Theyre not there to learn, theyre being indoctrinated. These kids would have been better off going to trade school and acquiring some skills to further them in life. School has taught them nothing.

Protest ! Are you joking. Where were her rights ? It was a mob attacking 1 person ! Utterly disgusting,they force their rights but do not value her freedom of speach & more,they should be ashamed.

Cowardly leftists. Typical though.

Yeah for bullying, now ho back to teaching children how wrong it is unless unhinged leftists do it

Trying to get educated 😂it’s never to late.

that was not 'protest' - THAT WAS ASSULT!!!

They assaulted her get the headline right smh

Media personality?

Good for Ohio State students.

Good

Protest? They threw things at her and her vehicle. They were like a mob. There’s video all over the internet you fools.

Got the storyline wrong. Should have been: Fascism is ugly. Or: University mob suppresses different opinions.

How dare she have an opinion

she's so proud that she's thick in the head. Sad, really!

They was on her ass EARLY 💪🏽

At least the Big Show was there to protect her

Where does one rent an 11ft tall bodyguard? Asking for a friend.

...get used to it honey! You wanted publicity, you wanted to talk all high & mighty whenever anyone 'bit' at your teasing to pretend it was some kind of test...and putting you in your place was falling for your trap! Now this is all you'll get for the rest of your miserable life!

Good. Vile woman

Feels like 50 years ago!!! Go students!!! Please be the conscience of America once more!

Why don’t you guys show the video of her being yelled at and have drinks thrown on her cnn , I thought the left were the tolerant side , I’ve never seen a video where the republican students were harassing the left and throwing crap on them , explain why is that

Looks like freedom is the next American thing that will be axed.

CNN is fake news

Protest? That’s what you call it?

Good

Securing Trump for 2020 one video at a time.

Leftists mob harasses young girl and stops her from speaking you mean. cnnisfakenews

The left always tries to shut down different opinions

Stop giving this dumb chick publicity.

Yay!! I love it when my faith in humanity is restored!! standUp GunReformNow GunControl gunsense

Lol. They didn’t know she was there and still showed up to protest Just like the main stream media didn’t know stone was going to get raided but Criminal News Network showed up with a full filming crew?

'ANYWAYS?' Nice to see CNN is STILL upholding journalistic integrity. You are such a joke.

A university....that does not even entertain a different point of view? I think it's more an 'indoctrination facility'.

They didn’t protest her, they assaulted her. Tolerance, unless it’s against something they believe.

Shouldn’t CNN be renouncing the violence of the protesters, instead of trying to make them heroes? Smacks of a liberal propaganda spewing media not news. Always taking the side of liberals is getting old.

That wasn’t protesting. That was pure vulgarity and violence.

Got nothing to do on a Monday afternoon? Bored because you're an upper-middle-class white liberal and you're studying for a degree in made-up nonsense? Go Protest a Conservative™! It's all the rage these days!

She got what she was looking for. NoMorePussyDemsJustPussyRepubs

LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

They threw things at her, screamed, cursed...out of their minds! Didn’t look much like a protest; more like a crazed mob!

Women should be proud of Kaitlin for defending their right to defend themselves

Thoughts and prayers.

The real Nazi's make their appearance, so brave of them to swarm and harass a woman because of her views.

Thanks for the turnout, our govt is not gonna do anything with guns or trump, its time the people do somthing

A bunch of naive liberal hypocrites cowards commenting here. If a liberal personality had been treated this way — you 2 faced liberals would be calling for investigations and arrests.

They didn’t protest, they ASSAULTED her

So free speech is dead at places of higher learning

Terrible! She has the right to talk! Who are the haters? Who are the intolerant?

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! 'Personality' is a pretty strong word!

Now show the video of people blocking her, throwing things at her, getting in her face, screaming profanities. , threatening her with violence. Oh wait, this is the liberal media arm of the Democrat Party. Sickening.

This looks like the pictures of the white people attacking and protesting black people moving into their neighborhoods back in the day. It’s a shame.

Crazy people brainwashed by the left! Is what you should call them!

Liberals are very open minded until you disagree with them. They get violent. They do not respect the first amendment. Hypocrites!

She saw what real America thinks of that rally crap

All the future Starbucks workers couldn't handle it...oh well

When did bullying begin? We’re they liberals..

We are seeing the end of civility. Regardless of what you believe or which side of the political spectrum you reside, this is not healthy. Always taught to discuss differences and take high road. Treating people the way you want to be treated is no longer accepted in this nation

Love this girl. My kids are getting ARs as grad gifts now!

“Protest”. No they threw coffee and drinks on her. They intimidated her and ran her off campus which is exactly what Mao’s Red Guards would do to anybody opposed to the communist takeover of China. If they stand on principles why not debate her in a civil manner.

BudGothmog44 Party poop girl is a professional victim. She can go away now.

I mean right or wrong just remember she shit herself at a party 🤷🏻‍♂️

Regardless of your political preference, this behavior should never be acceptable! ohiou should be embarrassed!

Once again promoting the hate-filled left.

Students, as they did in the 60s-70s, are wont to act out of emotional conviction of their own righteousness. What works far better is stone cold silence, but a silent student is hard to find, except in class.

Wounder what cnn headline would be a liberal media personality just curious, kinda like all your hard hitting reporting on the guy that drove a van into the trump voter both

Quit broadcasting this nothing

Young and conservative.. just don't understand.. maybe inside she is a grandma in a young lady body..

You now need a warning if a Conservative is visiting a college campus? CNNisTrash College liberals have become weak minded lemmings, attacking violently anything they don’t understand or agree with.

Remember that time she shit her pants... hate to see it PFTCommenter BarstoolBigCat

TolerantLeft Never forget San Jose 2016.

Protest? Terrorists, is what they acted like

DemonRATS are VIOLENT BIGOTS

So much for free speech and kindness to others. I keep wondering...will these students (when they actually grow up and become adults) be ashamed of their actions toward others as college students? Will they ever understand 'do unto others as you would have them do to you?'

Wasn’t her 15 mins of fame over years ago?

catalishus2 Alternate headline: Curly-haired gun girl experiences karma.

Waiting for the day when reality chin checks these “protestors” in the mouth. And it’s going to start to happen. Especially after this election.

why should she have to announce?...sounds like you don’t support civil discourse and freedom of speech...

So called “conservatives” up in arms about a “mob” running out a nuisance from their community but the mobs with tiki torches are fine

When you have nothing else but to flaunt your White privilege

But I thought she wanted attention...

- One thing is for sure, her Security Guard is TALL! -

Wait...what happened to dont pick on minors? Oh that only goes for your activist uh? Hypocrites!

2nd Amendment rights!!!!!👏👏👏👏

KaitMarieox please don’t return to do your open carry walk? As gun owner myself this will just fuel more of their hatred and force an accident. You made and showed your point. Stand down for now.

'Protest' or throw all kinds of shit at her, insult her, push her. This is the mob mentality of the left. They are so indoctrinated that they're incapable of listening to opposing views without having a temper tantrum and resorting to physical violence. Sad.

Parents and Students don’t pay tuition for someone to come on campus and harass students unannounced. She’s an obnoxious bigot who should’ve stayed in school instead of be a public nuisance. I don’t feel bad for her, she brought this on her on herself. 🤷🏾‍♂️

She’s the worst!

America the land of the free as long as you’re a leftist

'Anyways'? Has the world gone completely mad?!

Shit pants!

Pay no attention to someone who really wants the media! Nothing to see here

If by protest you meant assault then you would be accurate for once

EnoughIsEnough

This illustrates how colleges and universities are encouraging elitist, narcissistic, disrespectful, snowflake behavior towards those who have a different perception. The left hypocrisy is clearly displayed watching these “scared, tiny, closed minds” act like rabid animals. Pfft.

'A conservative media personality Kaitlin Bennett didn't announce she was visiting Ohio University.' Ummmm, she was not required to. Where's the law that says you need to tell OSU you're visiting? Nowhere that I'm aware of.

You mean NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH ASSAULT by Marxists Commie Leftist.

Got what she deserved

Gun girl!! 🙄

Did she poop her pants again?

the outrage and censorship culture is going to kill the Democratic Party.

“Anyways”? Did the copy editor have the day off?

Please hire me to proof read your tweets .

Do you think Kaitlin Bennett got the memo AR 15s are not an appropriate fashion statement!

colleges used to be where you went to learn about different views of the world and a place that you could exercise free speech now it's a place of Safe Spaces, banning of free speech and violent attacks on Conservatives by Liberals

Hordes of little college lefties.

Of all places to promote gun rights, a school where you're not wanted bc students are tired of being shot up in class is super evil

She is NOT a “conservative media personality” she is a young woman who carries around assault weapons&films the reaction she gets for doing this.I don’t know if she is paid? But I can’t imagine not needing a real job(after completing my college education?) So I can support myself

She pooped herself at a party. She’s literally a party pooper.

🚨CRAZY LEFTIST ON COLLEGE CAMPUS🚨 Watch as a tolerant leftist threatens to “slash the throat” of realDonaldTrump and every Republican. We will NOT let the left silence us! TrumpStudents KeepAmericaGreat 🇺🇸

Don’t cover her. That’s what she wants. Just like a shock jock. She’s dumb.

Good little Antifa trainees getting their 'I hate America' on.

haha

Didn't learn your twenty five million dollar lessen yet, did you?

Assualt and batter* Fixed it for you.

Why are you always misleading? Why aren't you reporting on the vicious assault she endured?

She has great boobs
