Officers at Rutgers University’s Turning Point USA chapter are pushing back against a petition from a technology developer calling for the conservative group to be disbanded, describing the effort as "blatantly defamatory."

"The petition to disband our Turning Point chapter is blatantly defamatory," Ava Kwan, outreach coordinator for the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"The accusations of ‘inciting violence’ and ‘making threats’ are complete lies," Kwan said. "The same people claiming we’re suppressing their free speech are actively trying to silence us for speaking the truth. It’s not just ironic, it’s hypocritical and absurd."
