Reality TV star says UA ‘stifling’ conservatives during Turning Point USA event

Savannah Chrisley, best known for appearing alongside her parents in long running reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” spoke at the University of Alabama Wednesday evening for an event in the Student Center Theatre hosted by Turning Point USA.

This was Chrisley’s second time speaking to UA students this semester, following her appearance at a remembrance rally for TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk in September.

This week, Chrisley covered topics including “women empowerment” and “the issues in our American justice system,” campus paper The Crimson White reported.She specifically mentioned “the powers that be” on UA’s campus, saying they are “stifling” conservative voices

At a rally for Kirk, who died Sept. 10 after being shot while speaking at a campus event at a university in Utah, Chrisley and her brother Grayson, a UA student, shared a similar message.

“They were scared that he was making too much sense and that he was spreading God’s word, and by doing so, he would stop their agenda.

The Chrisley family have been outspoken supporters of Kirk and President Donald Trump, who pardoned parents Todd and Julie earlier this year and released them from prison.“We will not be silenced,” Savannah said previously.

“We will not back down…We love this country. We love faith, we love freedom, and we are not afraid to say it. And together, we’re going to make America strong again. We’ll make America free again. And yes, we will make America great again.”

Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Julie to seven years, and both were ordered to pay $17.2 million in restitution.Trump announced his intention to pardon them in May, saying the celebrity couple had been “given a pretty harsh treatment based on what I’m hearing.”In a speech at last year’s Republican National Convention, Savannah said her parents sentencing was a form of persecution because of their “public profile and conservative beliefs.”
