Kaya Walker’s Resignation and the Barron Trump Controversy

Kaya Walker, former president of the NYU College Republicans, resigned after backlash over comments about Barron Trump. In a Vanity Fair interview, she called him an “oddity on campus” who “goes to class, goes home,” remarks that conservatives deemed inappropriate. Facing criticism, Walker stepped down on February 16.

Now, in a New York Post interview, she reflects on her experience as a Republican at NYU, the difficulties of leading a conservative chapter, and the fallout from her remarks.

Barron Trump, enrolled at NYU’s Stern School of Business, maintains a low profile despite intense media attention. His presence has amplified political tensions, making any commentary about him highly scrutinized.

Walker’s resignation highlights the challenges conservatives face on liberal campuses, sparking discussions on free speech and political polarization.
