Jake Bequette: Calls himself Razorback; U of Arkansas asks him to stop

The University of Arkansas has asked Jake Bequette to stop calling himself a "Razorback." Bequette was a Razorback, a member of the Arkansas football team. The cut line for his campaign ads is "Jake Bequette. Patriot. Veteran. Razorback."

"We have asked the campaign to modify its ads related to the unauthorized use of the Razorback trademark for political purposes," a University of Arkansas spokesman said.

Bequette's campaign said "he will continue to proudly call himself a Razorback."

Those are the values that I believe in." Source: Daily Wire on 2022 Arkansas Senate race Jul 12, 2021

Jake Bequette: I'm a God-fearing Christian conservative

"Now more than ever we have to stand up and fight for what we believe," he added. "I'm a God-fearing Christian conservative who is 100% pro-life, and pro-police, and I will never apologize for being against illegal immigration.

Bequette said that track and field star Gwen Berry's decision to turn her back on the U.S. flag and the Biden administration's subsequent support was "very upsetting" to witness. Bequette concluded, "It makes me very upset to see some athletes and even President Biden blatantly disrespecting our flag and the great country that flag stands for.
