From the article: "I learned that they thought my vote was a hate crime,” Kathryn Townsend, who said she voted for Donald Trump in 2016, told Seattle's Q13 Fox.

Ms. Townsend is not exaggerating here. This is becoming standard thinking on the left. I'm hearing it from liberal acquaintances of mine. If you are a conservative, if you supported Trump, you are not just wrong. You belong to a hate group. And therefore you have no right to free speech.

It's time for Democrat leaders (Clinton, Obama, Biden, etc.) to stand up and speak out against this. It's time for them to defend free speech. But of course they won't. So this will not end well.

at least one American flag was burned Saturday

I'm sure the protesters would recognize the free speech right to burn a rainbow flag and a UN flag as well.

“It’s time for Democrat leaders (Clinton, Obama, Biden, etc.) to stand up and speak out against this. It’s time for them to defend free speech. But of course they won’t. So this will not end well. “

They can’t defend free speech because the Left has never allowed free speech. The Fascists sent people to disrupt other parties, including the Communist party. There can only be one voice, their voice. The Democrats are “community organizers.” Think about what community organizers do. They put a screaming mob in front of whoever they have targeted and intimidate until they get their way.

It's time for whites to stand up for themselves.

The students should have immediately switched over to a gun meeting.

Jordan Peterson has been so spot on about this. You cannot let the Left control speech, they would take us down a road to modern totalitarianism.

This interview with Mark Steyn covers this idea.

I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised to find that an American university has its own “Red Square”. Is that its formal name or a local nickname?

Yet again the Left uses terrorism and violence against us, and yet again there will be NO RESPONSE from Jeff Sessions.

If this was happening to the Leftists under a Rat administration they would be using overwhelming force to “protect the civil rights” of the radicals.

See any prosecutions for what happened in San Jose in 2016?

Nope. Sleepy Sessions trying to be a good little go along to get along.

These College Republicans are a brave bunch to be in the belly of the beast and wave flags and say prayers.

I reacted with a comment to a related story where the WU charged the student club $17,000 for ‘security’. A federal judge denied the billing to allow protest to proceed and have trial on the matter next week.

My comment was on the failure of WU to act civilly by their hiring practices of liberal lunatics as professors and failure to expel uncivil ‘protesters’ who are students. That might be grounds for a dismissal of the WU Board of Regents for failure to provide a civil, safe, unbiased, adult environment for learning.
