Exclusive Coverage of the Turning Point USA Event on Cook-Doug Campus

BY THE DAILY MEDIUM NEWS STAFF NOT ACTUALLY NEWS STAFF

As notable events occur at Rutgers University, it is the responsibility of The Daily Medium to record the dialogue being spoken around campus. During the recently held Turning Point USA: Live Free event at Cook-Douglass, we listened to what the audience members had to say.

The main objective was to find what the audience wanted to learn from the event, as well as their political identity. The first interviewee was a Rutgers alumnus from 1978, Jerry Attrick, who mumbled, coughed, and threw up a little in response to our introduction. After Attrick glared at us and undulated for approximately five minutes, we moved on. Rutgers Junior, Ken Servativ, stated he was only at the event because they “promised pizza.” We attempted to get him to answer more questions; however, he continued playing Flappy Bird. He did not look at us once, then began to salivate and cry. During this interview, a member of the far-right group, the Proud Boys, approached our cameraman by the entrance to the Douglass Student Center. He asked the team for directions to the event. After pointing to the sign by the door, he looked appalled and muttered something about reading being “cultural Marxism.” His identity was left anonymous by request.

Our last audience interviewee was a 4-year-old, Valerie Orant, who stated she desired to hear Candace Owens’ responses to opposing points. Her father jangled his keys and chuckled during this interview. In response to an inquiry regarding his political stance, he grumbled, “Cocomelon.” Turning towards the mother for her thoughts about the matter, she began to comment about the “Biden weather machine” for about five seconds before seemingly vanishing into thin air. Explanation of Mrs. Orant’s puzzling disappearance continues to elude the news team. We are still unsure of her whereabouts.

The Daily Medium took the opportunity to interview the speaker of the event, Candace Owens, a, right-wing politi- litical pundit and content creator under the conservative media company, The Daily Wire. Owens made controversial statements about Hitler’s invasions during World War II, which offended the Jewish community. Following our questions regarding this controversy, she remarked that “it is impossible for my words to be anti-semitic, as my favorite movie is 21 Jump Street.”
