Thank God for the Proud Boys
Ann Coulter Dot Com ^ | 24 Feb 2021 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 02/25/2021 9:05:56 AM PST by Rummyfan

A little more than a year ago, 2,000 antifa tried to shut down my speech at UC Berkeley, according to police on the scene. The Berkeley police chief had ordered her officers to stand outside the building like mute ninjas, and make no arrests, unless they personally witnessed a felony being committed in front of them.

So barring a bank suddenly popping up on the sidewalk and an antifa attempting to rob it, I had no official protection from 2,000 violent, mentally disturbed thugs.

Thank God I had the Proud Boys.

There had been no warning of the antifa mobilization against me until an hour before the event, when they showed up, with a thousand of them at each entrance to the building where I was to speak.

Luckily, I’d invited about 20 Proud Boys from northern California chapters to attend my speech. If I hadn’t, I might not have made it to the campus at all. (If antifa had won, at least you would have heard about my visit to Berkeley, because the media would have reported on it triumphantly.)

The College Republicans had booked a private room for dinner in an Oakland restaurant for earlier that evening, so I invited the Proud Boys to meet me there 45 minutes before the students arrived. We all had to recognize one another, in case they were needed to help deal with any violence during my speech.

Thank you for what you are thinking of doing. I know several Proud Boys and was protected by them during 3 rallies.

They are genuine heroes in my eyes.

“I couldn’t find any info that came directly from PBs individuals or groups.”

Gavin McInnes was the founder (he voluntary stepped aside after he was involved in some lawsuits and he thought they would be better off without him), so if you really want to find out the story from the source, he talks about it quite a bit on his old podcasts.

If anything bad had happened then Anne would treated like Mick Jagger at Altamont. I wonder if she gave that any consideration? Gutsy move. Worked out.

Yessir, my most fervent wish is to wade into antifa and beat some heads, but I am too old now for that.

I think us old farts should make a white hair brigade and march around the country. Sing songs, and allow the cameras to see 55-85 year olds getting attacked and bloodied. TAKE THAT MSM.

To divert the course of our country, what we need is for Middle America and Democrats too, to see what the Libtards represent on National News.

Ann Coulter is correct, and not afraid to go against the grain of either side. Love her or hate her, she is standing while others recline.

What happened to Milo Yianoppolous? sp

20 PBs to 2000 Antifa?

Good odds!

Thank God Ann Coulter is on our side.

And I wish everyone here would stop with the knee-jerk hate on Ann. She’s right far more often than she’s wrong.

You don’t have to agree with somebody 100% of the time.

Speaking of knee-jerk reactions, there is one now...

I disagree with the part about only 29% of Republicans voting for Trump.

Trump could run on any ticket and probably still get all 75 million Who voted for him last time.

If you voted for Trump in 2020, would you vote for Bush or Kasich?

Them is fightin' words. Never.

Just joking but you have a point. Who exactly is the hidden "shy" voter contingent for the wimpy two-faced RINOs? Such fools would vote Dem and be patted on the back at dope parties with their Dem friends.
