College Republicans Banned from TPUSA Chapter Over 'Hate Speech'

With Charlie Kirk's shadow still looming large after his tragic assassination last month, the caretakers left holding Turning Point USA's reins are morphing into the very speech cops conservatives once railed against.

In a stunning betrayal of conservative principles, the TPUSA University of Florida chapter is threatening to purge dozens of College Republicans from its group, branding their vocal support for Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson as "hate speech."

It's a purge that reeks of the campus left's cancel culture playbook, now repurposed to police the right's own ranks.

The University of Florida College Republicans blew the whistle on X Wednesday, posting a screenshot of the TPUSA University of Florida president's edict.

"Our group is committed to fostering a welcoming and respectful environment for all students, regardless of political affiliation. As a non-partisan organization, we promote open dialogue and civic engagement grounded in mutual respect and shared democratic values," the message began, before veering into familiar authoritarian territory.

"While we encourage diverse viewpoints and constructive debate, we will not tolerate hate speech, harassment, or rhetoric that promotes xenophobia, misogyny, racism, antisemitism or any ideology rooted in discrimination or violence. Such behavior directly contradicts our mission and the values we uphold."

The hammer fell harder: "In light of recent concerns and communications from university administration regarding individuals affiliated with far-right extremist movements and their threats toward members of the UF community, we are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and integrity of our space. Any individual found engaging in or endorsing this type of rhetoric will be removed from the group me."

The missive invoked Kirk himself as a shield.

"As Charlie demonstrated through his actions and words, including his clear rejection of figures such as Nick Fuentes during his campus tour, there is no place for hatred or intolerance in civic discourse. Our group will continue to be a space for informed, respectful, and inclusive discussion that reflects those same principles."

UFCR fired back bluntly, warning on social media, "@TPUSAUFhas censored and banned a large number of our members from their chat, citing 'hate speech' for the student's support of Tucker Carlson and dedication to free speech. We are disappointed that a TPUSA chapter has decided to censor and cancel those who they disagree with."

The drama escalated with an "update" post hours later, sharing a fresh TPUSAUF statement warning, "Our movement is strongest when it is inclusive, disciplined, and productive."

The Florida University College Republicans then received an extensive, blistering warning from a TPUSA Florida chapter board member, doubling down on the orthodoxy test:

As conservatives, we need to remember what we stand for. Conservatism is founded on the principles of freedom, opportunity, and respect for everyone. Our goal is to educate, empower, and unite students who believe in limited government and free markets, not divide or tear others down. Lately we have seen messages in conservative group chats that are racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, sexist, Islamaphobic, and anti-Semitic. That kind of language and behavior has no place in our movement, on our campus, or in any community that values freedom and human dignity. It does not represent our movement or the values we fight for."If we defeat socialism and move our ideas forward, we have to do it by bringing people in and not pushing them away. The right had a big upset last night. Rather than being focused on canvassing and getting out votes. Some are engaging in mindless derogatory discussions that do nothing to help the movement. Extremism never wins. Hate does not persuade. Our rhetoric should focus on beating the left not engaging in derogatory meaningless and immature discourse.

Also women are an essential part of this movement. The conservative movement cannot succeed without their voices and leadership. Disrespecting or dismissing women goes against everything we claim to stand for such as individual liberty opportunity, and human dignity.

We also have to stay alert to voices that try to twist our movement into something hateful or divisive. Real leadership means standing up and calling out when things are wrong. We can debate and disagree respectfully. But we must always condemn any language or action that threatens others or encourages violence. That is not conservatism, and it never will be. I encourage all of you to be more open-minded and to seek out the facts, not just one extreme idea. Getting your information from one source or person is not helpful. We will be so much more effective if we approach issues from an objective perspective rather than just what we want to hear in an extreme echo chamber. That is how we grow and win people over.

Our movement is strongest when it is inclusive, disciplined and productive. We must focus on freedom, opportunity, and the fight for a better America, and reject anything that divides or distracts us from that mission.

UFCR blasted the TPUSA Florida chapter, warning, "The club is claiming to be inclusive for removing members they disagree with. Disgusting."

This intra-right crackdown lands amid a broader firestorm: Jewish voices in conservative media unleashing a full-spectrum assault on Tucker Carlson for hosting Nick Fuentes on his podcast last week.

The two-hour chat, where Fuentes railed against "Zionist Jews" controlling America, has ignited a MAGA civil war over Israel, antisemitism, and free speech.

Mark Levin, speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, thundered that politicians refusing to denounce Carlson and Fuentes "need to be afraid."

Ben Shapiro, in a blistering Monday episode of "The Ben Shapiro Show," torched Carlson as an "intellectual coward" and "the most virulent superspreader of vile ideas in America" for failing to challenge Fuentes' bigotry and instead "smoothing over his views, water[ing] them down and mak[ing] them far more palatable to a normal audience."

Rep. Randy Fine,R-Fla., wielding a "Tucker is not MAGA" sign at the RJC event, branded Carlson "the most dangerous antisemite in America" and accused him of leading a "modern-day Hitler Youth."

The backlash is fueling a vicious rebound.

Conservatives, long chafed by establishment tone-policing, are erupting in defiance—tipping sacred cows with ironic edginess.

Online, fed-up posters belt out mock "Heil Hitlers," sling N-words in meme wars, and even don blackface personas to troll the "respectful discourse" brigade.

"If they're gonna call us Nazis for liking Tucker, might as well lean in," one viral X thread quipped, racking up thousands of likes.

Extremism, they argue, isn't the problem—hypocritical gatekeeping is.

As Kirk's void widens, this Florida fiasco exposes the rot: post-Trump conservatism devouring itself over who gets to define "hate."

The First Amendment isn't a selective buffet, cherry-picked to shield favored narratives while muzzling the rest.

This wannabe thought police parade—dressed in red, white, and blue—is poison to the soul of conservatism, where rugged individualism demands no führer dictating your vocabulary.
