A University of Utah student was arrested by campus police Monday after threatening the school’s College Republicans chapter during an event.
Dean Stewart, whose LinkedIn page invites people to refer to him with “any pronouns,” was charged with threat of violence, interfering with a police officer and disorderly conduct after the incident. Vice-Chairman Riley Beesley of the Utah Federation of College Republicans said in a Tuesday post on X that Stewart referenced the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.
“He says: ‘I’m going to Kirk you,’ ‘you should die,’ and motions as if shooting a rifle toward our neck,” Beesley, who later recounted witnessing Kirk being murdered, said. “Democrats want us dead, and universities are responsible for radicalizing them.”
