John David Rice-Cameron tells us to meet him outside the Hoover Institution. He’s there 15 minutes before we had planned, working in the deserted courtyard behind the Traitel Building. In the late afternoon sun, the president of the Stanford College Republicans (SCR) looks dignified, if a bit old-fashioned, in a button-down shirt tucked into khakis. He does not remove his large dark sunglasses until more than halfway through the interview, after the evening shade has passed over him.
While the person known around campus as “JRC” has a reputation as a vociferous right-wing agitator, the sophomore we sit down with is polite, amiable, and direct. Rice-Cameron is eager to talk about SCR and his time as the organization’s president. He’s excited to frame his conservative beliefs, which, as he speaks, develop confidently into a clearly ordered and coherent worldview. Much of what he says sounds like something he has probably said before, coming across with the easy elegance of a well-crafted stump speech. Like many campus political types, he tends to talk in monologues.
Rice-Cameron is also quick to lavish praise on Stanford’s “brave” campus conservatives. Sometimes, the subject of that praise is himself.
“There’s two types of people who enter politics,” Rice-Cameron says, a few minutes into the interview: “the people who only care about power — they only care about themselves, their brand, and they like the feel of manipulating people and whatnot — and then you have people who care about principles and care about ideals and care about making the country a better place or making it align better with those principles and ideals. I’m one of those people, I think.”
......
Some of these changes may seem distinctly Trumpian, which is not an association Rice-Cameron has shied away from. His first major undertaking as SCR’s newly-minted president is an upcoming event titled “Make Stanford Great Again.” The event’s Facebook page describes its political message unambiguously: “Trump is great. Build the wall. Deport criminal illegals. Guns save lives. There are only two genders. Abortion is murder. Defund sanctuary city San Francisco. Taxation is theft. Affirmative action is racist. White privilege is a lie.”
this photo tho... dude's hair will always tell on him.
