A conservative microcelebrity’s upcoming open-carry gun event at Kent State University has support from fringe militias, including members of a hate group, who have pledged to attend, according to social media posts.

Kaitlin Bennett became a Fox News favorite this year after she posed with an AR-10 rifle in her graduation pictures at the Ohio university still infamous for the 1970 killing of anti-war protesters by National Guard troops. Despite graduating, Bennett has hung around Kent State, and is this weekend hosting an open carry event on campus.

The event’s Facebook page reveals support from members of far-right groups that have recently collaborated to form a series of ad-hoc militias at public demonstrations.

“Kent State is in no way sponsoring or endorsing this event, nor did we invite any outside groups to campus,” the university said in a Thursday statement.

But as a public school, they can’t do much to stop it, either. While school policy prohibits students and faculty from carrying guns, guests are allows to carry guns openly on campus.
