Now, numbers show these anti-conservative actions have tripled since the election of President Donald Trump.

Today, a whopping 46 percent of events with conservative speakers hosted by Young America’s Foundation (YAF) were disrupted. In the year before the election, this number was less than 15 percent.

The MSM are traitors to free speech values. They aligned themselves with the leftist propagandists for the power it brings. They sold their souls to satan.
