College Republicans are fighting and the far right is benefiting: ‘It looks very childish’

College Republicans at Brigham Young University are in conflict after the county clerk hired Kai Schwemmer, a young right‑wing influencer, to help reach voters. Schwemmer is a member of the College Republicans of America and known for provocative livestreams. His hiring caused an uproar among moderate members who see it as a shift toward the far right. Observers say the infighting makes the group look childish and helps far‑right voices gain influence.
