BREAKING: Antifa Attacks Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk's UC Davis Speech
Red State ^ | 03/14/2023 | Jennifer Van Laar

Posted on 03/14/2023 8:42:45 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Violent Antifa protesters are being arrested on the University of California, Davis campus after smashing doors and windows as they attempted to storm a speech by Charlie Kirk sponsored by the school’s Turning Point USA chapter.

Antifa activists have been attacking Kirk in the press and on campus in the lead-up to the event, and one of the largest newspapers in the state, the Sacramento Bee, ran a piece Tuesday falsely claiming that Kirk has “called for the lynching of trans people” and calling for the cancellation of his speaking engagement.

Charlie Kirk has called for the lynching of trans people, a comment that should warrant the cancellation of his speaking engagement at UC Davis. https://t.co/gKuXq38v0s

— The Sacramento Bee (@sacbee_news) March 14, 2023

The tweet, made at 9:02 AM Pacific, wasn’t deleted until around 8 PM, well after the Antifa scum attacked the speech — and after 111,000 views of just that tweet.


Now-deleted tweet from the Sacramento Bee about Charlie Kirk, March 14, 2023.

The Chancellor recorded a video saying he shares students’ “distress” that a student group is bringing a “well-documented proponent of misinformation and hate and who has advocated for violence against transgender individuals” to campus. He explained to students that UC policy doesn’t allow the administration to cancel a speaker invited by a registered campus group “even if the speaker’s intended speech is loathsome and hurtful to me and to others in our campus community, but that “UC policy permits denial of request of the speaker will present a clear and present danger to the campus,” and says that the administration will be closely watching what Kirk says to see if he crosses any line.

Nothing addressing the potential violence from Antifa against Turning Point USA speakers, which has been well-documented this year. And not for nothing, but who cares if a speaker’s words are “loathsome and hurtful” to a chancellor? At any decent institution of learning, many students every semester will say things that a chancellor finds loathsome and hurtful.

UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May took the time to record a bizarre video and slander me and our amazing students at TPUSA ahead of our event tonight, so I took the time to respond.

As Kirk says in this response video, he’s never advocated for violence toward trans people, and hopefully he will sue that chancellor, who should have been using his platform to tell the spoiled brats complaining to shut up.

As we now know, the speech was not canceled (probably because the University of California system has previously been successfully sued after canceling speeches by conservative pundits), but Antifa had already taken their marching orders.

Anybody that is to the right of Lenin needs to have security and be willing to “rough up” the domestic terrorists known as “Antifa”.

Antifa is the militia of the Democrats.

The Republicans do not have a militia.

Isn’t that special … government media collusion … the university president and the Bee. It’s time to deal with both sides of the equation. Kirk better sue both. The government should jail both.

“Police are carrying out Antifa”

That’s a good start. Now bring back billy clubs, smashing heads, and tear gas.

Charlie Kirk said he is going to sue the Sacramento Bee if they don’t issue a retraction.

Are they distorting something, or is it a *complete* fabrication?

Cops should have grabbed the men by their PRIVATE PARTS and thrown them over the line.

+++++++++

You may want to re-think that analogy. U.S. money is actually quite similar to monopoly money.

They keep using that word ‘fascist’ in a way that shows they don’t understand what it means, and how it actually applies to them.

He should. It’s liable/defamation. I can’t imagine why they thought it was ok.
