ISU Says Students Not Involved in Criminal Activity
Iowa State University s College Republicans stated last week that they were fighting on the front lines of D.C. as brave patriots during the U.S. Capitol insurrection. But this week, officials at the school told The Gazette they have no knowledge that those students broke any laws.
ISU spokesperson Angie Hunt told the Gazette, At this time, there is no indication that any students were involved in criminal activity related to the U.S. Capitol breach. We continue to monitor the situation. The group College Republicans at Iowa State tweeted on January 6th that they were in D.C. and Des Moines fighting for America. They also tweeted out that people fighting on the front lines in DC (many are members of our club) are brave patriots. That was before rioters breached and entered the Capitol building.
