An associate and organizer of campus tours for white nationalist Richard Spencer sued Ohio State University in federal court on Sunday after school officials refused to rent campus space for Spencer to speak. An Ohio State spokesman declined to comment Sunday about the lawsuit. Michigan attorney Kyle Bristow had been threatening to sue Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati on behalf of Padgett if they refused to rent space for Spencer to speak. Bristow successfully sued Auburn University in Alabama to allow Spencer to speak there and has filed lawsuits against Michigan State University and Penn State University that are pending. "I guarantee that wherever I am, whatever circumstances may arise, the Alt-Right shall enjoy the right to free speech," Bristow said Sunday.
