Later that day, Hopper commented on an incident involving students at UNT. In a post timestamped 19:54 UTC, he wrote: “Watch @UNTsocial students destroy Turning Point UNT (@point_unt) materials on campus today. I am told there were NO UNT Campus police officers nearby, which is shocking to me given what has transpired. https://t.co/N4onGSxV6n”.
In another post at 20:34 UTC the same day, Hopper expressed appreciation for media coverage related to student conduct at UNT and called for university leadership to act. He stated: “Thank you to @CSalcedoShow for highlighting the plight of Mary Catherine, a student at @UNTsocial who stood up for civilized behavior against students who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk.
UNT leadership needs to take decisive action on this matter. https://t.co/gVMu4QgieH“.
Hopper was elected in 2025 to the Texas State House from District 64, succeeding Lynn Stucky. His comments reflect ongoing debates around free speech and campus safety at universities across Texas.
