Axios reports:
The North Carolina-based Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier is facing misdemeanor charges for assault on a female and assault with a deadly weapon, law enforcement records obtained by Axios show.
Fournier, who studied at Campbell University in Raleigh, co-founded Students for Trump ahead of the 2016 election and now leads the group Radical Alert, which “exposes” radicals’ hate that has “taken over American college campuses,” according to its X bio.
Fournier, 27, was arrested in Johnston County last Tuesday for assaulting and striking his girlfriend by “grabbing her right arm and striking her in the forehead” with a handgun, according to the magistrate’s order.
Read the full article. Fournier last appeared here in October 2022 when he was charged with DUI for a second time after having attacked a GOP House candidate and lawyer for representing people charged with DUI.
As you may recall, the other Students For Trump founder, John Lambert, was sentenced to 13 months in prison in 2021 for masquerading as a lawyer with an Ivy League degree.
Fournier, who reportedly helped Lambert create a fake law firm, testified against him, presumably in return for avoiding charges. Fournier has nearly one million Twitter followers and is also a co-founder of Turning Point Action.
