Kyle Rittenhouse scheduled to speak at Kent State University tonight, groups protesting his visit

Hours before Kyle Rittenhouse is expected to speak to the Turning Point USA chapter at Kent State University on Tuesday evening, a protest is scheduled with multiple organizations condemning his visit.

Rittenhouse made headlines several years ago as he faced charges connected to the shooting deaths of two men, which happened during a 2020 protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

He was later found not guilty as his trial concluded in November 2021.

Now, Rittenhouse is scheduled to speak at 6 p.m. from the Kiva Auditorium at the Kent Student Center as the event’s listing says he will discuss “the importance of the Second Amendment.”

His visit to Northeast Ohio comes just weeks after protests were held at the University of Memphis when Rittenhouse came to speak on campus for their local Turning Point USA chapter.
