TPUSA booked Lahren from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., and she was reportedly able to finish her speech. But during the question-and-answer session, around 8:00 p.m., law enforcement escorted her out of the back of the Student Union. Most of the event’s attendees were led out soon after, according to on-the-ground
reports.
