A series of last-minute changes at Turning Point USA’s event left the press sidelined and attendees “disappointed.”

After a low in-person turnout and even worse online viewers at TPUSA’s event at the University of Georgia earlier this month, the right-wing organization denied all press credentials for its Wednesday event at Baylor University, a private Baptist school in Waco, Texas.

Turning Point Senior Copywriter Sha Cathey told Baylor’s student newspaper, https://baylorlariat.com/2026/04/22/tpusa-tour-denies-all-press-pass-requests-pivots-to-private-event/" rel="">The Baylor Lariat, that the no-press policy for the event was made “in the best interest of our students.”
