‘The kids are alright!’: Hundreds of Cal Poly students sing National Anthem during Charlie Kirk TPUSA tabling event
Video footage shows a massive crowd of Cal Poly University students gathering around the table and singing America’s most famous song, the Star Spangled Banner.
California college students belted out singing the National Anthem on Thursday during a Turning Point USA "Change My Mind" tabling event featuring the organization's founder Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, who is the host of The Charlie Kirk Show, took to X to share a video of the moment that he described as "incredible."
Video footage shows a massive crowd of Cal Poly University students gathering around the table and singing America's most famous song, the Star Spangled Banner. Kirk explained that the singing was in response to a few protesters who arrived at the event.
"The kids are all right! A massive crowd has turned out at Cal Poly for our @TPUSA Change My Mind tabling event. In response to some protestors, a large group of students led an impromptu singing of the National Anthem. An incredible moment!" wrote Kirk.
However, not all students were receptive of Kirk on campus.
A small black-clad group concealing their faces arrived on campus to protest the event. They marched across campus bearing a large anti-Charlie Kirk and TPUSA sign that threatened physical violence, in addition to engaging in chants accusing the organization of being "racist," "sexist," and "anti-gay."
The sign displayed by the group of protesters that featured an image of an iron fist read: "TPUSA fascists off campus. Queers bash back. Kirk is a dweeb."
