Others shouted out ‘Get the f–k off our campus!’ in videos posted by Kirk and other conservative media personalities.
Eventually, riot police headed to the scene with clubs to confront those protesting the event.
TPUSA claims its mission is to: ‘Educate students about the importance of freedom, free markets, and limited government.’
The police formed a barrier between protesters and the student union at University of New Mexico where kirk was speaking.
At least one protester was caught on video being arrested by the police officers who’d turned up.
The event had already been rescheduled after Kirk tried to speak at the university before the November elections.

Earlier this year, fellow conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren was forced to flee the campus via state police ahead of a planned event.
The event was eventually canceled after Lahren was barricaded in a back room for 45 minutes, and she left under police escort, according to the Post Millenial.
TPUSA released a statement at the time: ‘Sadly, what happened in New Mexico is far too common. The students and community organizations responsible for this mob that caused damage to the venue – and forced Tomi and her father to be barricaded in a safe room for 45 minutes – must be held accountable.’
The local chapter promoted the event with a video on Instagram showing protesters accosting a previous event with the caption: ‘We will not back down.’
