‘Malicious misreading’: College Republicans president pushed to resign following Barron Trump comments
This article discusses the President of NYU’s college republicans, who resigned last Sunday after calling Barron Trump “an oddity on campus” in an interview with Vanity Fair. The former club president Kaya Walker told the magazine that “He goes to class, he goes home,” and that “he’s sort of like an oddity on campus.” She also mentions “I was merely describing the ugly side of our culture on campus and worldwide that delights in forming parasocial relationships with celebrities,” and that her words were taken out of context. The article goes on to say “Rather than saying something along the lines of ‘Barron is quite normal under the circumstances,’ she chose poor wording, and the media ran with it.” In the end Kaya Walker’s interview had gained million of viewers since she stepped down as president.
