But did he actually “appear” and, if so, in person?

It bothers me that Tech is taking flak for something that it may not have had the ability to control and that whatever did or didn’t happen may or may not be accurately described by what passes for the mainstream today.

You could have stopped at "prominent people on X"

I’m not concerned about myself.
Tailgate Guru • 05/03/26 11:52 AM ET
That's how it works

He was there but the University said it was not a sponsored event (link)**
Nortazhokie • 05/03/26 10:08 AM ET
He was not on campus. That's a really poor article with no sourcing...

There are many groups that are represented at VT. Not to get into debate,

There are no “sides” to advocating violence **
Tailgate Guru • 05/03/26 07:06 AM ET
EXACTLY!**
HOKIERIT • 05/03/26 08:30 AM ET
That is not what I said. I said there are many groups with different views
JM397 • 05/03/26 07:15 AM ET
He wasn't on campus, and this really had nothing to do with VT...
BB Hokie • 05/02/26 11:55 PM ET
If he wasn't on campus, why doesn't VT come out and announce that...
EDGEMAN • 05/03/26 07:37 AM ET
I agree with you..VT, of all places, should be extra sensitive to ANYTHING>
HOKIERIT • 05/03/26 08:35 AM ET
That’s my impression
Tailgate Guru • 05/02/26 11:59 PM ET
I think you know the answer to that question.**
MP4VT2004 • 05/03/26 04:24 AM ET
I don’t. **

Without getting political, let us just spit out the name. This is from AI

Tech issued a statement that the speaker was not an official speaker
WestyHokie • 05/02/26 11:11 PM ET
I saw something similar a day or two ago; needs reissued **
