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

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.

When I heard the term ANTIFA the very first time, it was described as ANTI-FIRST AMENDMENT!!! Which makes WAY more sense. Not long after, the MEDIA started calling it ANTI-FASCIST!!

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack your opposition by projecting your guilt onto them.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Declare that your destructive actions are creating a positive outcome.

The Left’s Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Repeat

Antifa is the militia of the Democrats.

The Democrats also have a propaganda arm that we're funding with our TV subscriptions.

The Republicans do not have a militia.

No but we have 80 billion bullets and some really funny memes.

I used to wonder how Hitler found people willing to kill for him.

Todays liberals seem like they would be gleefully willing to. All they would need is tacit approval from the Democrats and their media propagandists.

Antifa are the Democrats Brown Shirts.

Shouldn’t the chancellor and the presstitute that posted the tweet on behalf of the SacBee also be Arrested and Charged for this terrorist activity that they themselves set in motion through their deliberate false and inflammatory statements??

I think so.

Charlie Kirk is be a hyperbolic twit who found grifting high school and college kids easier than adults. That being said no ones speech should be shut down, especially by violent extremist groups.
