The College Republicans of America (CRA) has since released a statement addressing the situation.

The president of the New York University College Republicans has stepped down following remarks she made about Barron Trump during a recent interview.

Barron has been a student at New York University’s Stern School of Business since September, after graduating from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy in May.

However, on February 12, Kaya Walker, the president of NYU College Republicans, found herself at the center of controversy after commenting on Donald Trump’s youngest son’s presence on campus.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Walker referred to the 78-year-old president’s youngest son as “sort of like an oddity on campus,” explaining that Barron, 18, “goes to class, he goes home.”

She also mentioned that one of her professors had jokingly remarked that Barron “doesn’t really belong here,” alluding to the university’s traditionally liberal political environment.

A fellow student of Barron’s also shared an account of asking him to play basketball, saying Barron appeared interested but gave off the impression that “he wasn’t really allowed to do stuff,” as plainclothes Secret Service agents closely monitored him.

Following Walker’s remarks, the College Republicans of America (CRA) issued an official statement.

The statement begins: “In light of recent reports concerning the President of our New York University (NYU) chapter, College Republicans of America (CRA) wishes to address the situation directly.
