Trump Threatens to Defund UC Berkeley After Violent Protest

In an early morning tweet on Thursday, President Trump indicated that public universities that did not allow free speech on campus could lose the financial support of the federal government. The message was sent in response to the chaos at the University of California, Berkeley the night before when liberal protests turned violent as a result of a right-wing speaker.

“If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Trump wrote.

Hundreds of liberal protesters gathered at the university on Wednesday night to oppose a speech by Breitbart News writer Milo Yiannopoulos, a controversial Trump supporter who prides himself on courting chaos. When the protests grew too large and violent for UC Berkeley officials to contain, the university canceled the speech.

“Of paramount importance this evening was the campus’s commitment to ensure the safety and security of those attending the event, the speaker, those who came to engage in lawful protest, as well as members of the public and the Berkeley campus community,” said a statement from the university.

Demonstrations turned chaotic late in the evening when some protesters, described as masked agitators by police, began breaking windows and throwing smoke bombs at the building where the event was scheduled to take place. Ultimately, they used a diesel generator to spark an enormous fire, endangering property and safety.

In their statement, university officials denounced the actions of the agitators, who are believed to be part of an Oakland group that calls themselves “Black Bloc.”

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the violence and unlawful behavior that was on display and deeply regret that those tactics will now overshadow the efforts to engage in legitimate and lawful protest against the performer’s presence and perspectives,” said officials.

“While Yiannopoulos’ views, tactics and rhetoric are profoundly contrary to our own, we are bound by the Constitution, the law, our values and the campus’s Principles of Community to enable free expression across the full spectrum of opinion and perspective,” the university concluded.

Yiannopoulos is no stranger to controversy, but he said in a Facebook video that he was nonetheless disturbed by the level of insanity displayed at UC Berkeley.

“I’m just stunned that hundreds of people were so threatened by the idea that a conservative speaker might be persuasive, interesting, funny and might take some people with him, they have to shut it down at all costs,” he said Thursday.

Ah, but with Trump in the White House, these idiots are starting to realize that the liberal America of their imagination is no longer reality. That realization has made them desperate and dangerous.

Whatever happens with the UC Berkeley situation, we should expect to see this kind of violence again. Until these leftists make room for the simple idea that not everyone agrees with their vision of the world, they are going to be trouble.

    Conservative speakers are closed down because it is too dangerous with liberal rioters? Just funny that they don’t shut down liberal protests when the rioting gets out of hand.

      We need an organization like the Patriot Guard Riders to attend events like this to show that free speech is not to be lightly restrained or coercively denied. A few hundred motorcycle mounted “demonstrators” would likely have a somewhat chilling effect on the poor uninformed “student”‘ demonstrators.

      This isn’t free speech – this is violent rioting and people are getting hurt, not to mention the property damage. Free speech is the “peaceful” way to air your concerns – not putting on black hoods and tear down a school’s property. This act of violence is under the guise of “free speech”, but you’d have to be an idiot not to see it for what it really is.

          Of course Debra Messing approves of it – another Hollywood liberal who doesn’t live in the real world. All these Hollywood people live in gated mansions with swimming pools and security. All they’ve been doing is inciting these riots. You’re right Bill – only the left are free to speak, but if Trump supporters even show up, they’re pepper sprayed and hit with bats. This is going too far and needs to be controlled.

    Had obie canobie been in the office he would have told the rioters keep on keeping on and told those of us who send in our tax monies to keep on sending it in so he can dole it out to the rioters. Berkley is not an inexpensive University to attend. The quickest way to shut this total absurdity and violence down is to quit sending them money.

    Why didn’t the “authorities” at UC Berkeley at least try to control the “protestors” aka Anti Civil Rights Types, which is exactly what they are. It seems to have gotten to the point where, in the eyes and minds of some, if they disagree with what someone else has to say, then that person’s Civil/Constitutional Rights are gone, sacrificed to the antics of a bunch of seemingly spoiled brats, as well as some long past the age of “brathood”. Tis a truly sad day, it seems.

    Words of condemnation fall on deaf ears. The modus operandi of these anarchist/fascists cum protestors should have been well known to campus officials and police in riot gear trained in special weapons and tactics should have been in close proximity to squelch this riot. Either officials weren’t prepared or weren’t prepared to unleash some head busting on the black masks. Only one reported arrest when there should have been dozens. As a result, this faint gesture at supporting free speech became both violent and farcical. I’m sure generous alumni took note of last night.

    You might want to extend second thoughts to the “shooting” that you suggest, as there are no doubt, people who do not think much of your view. By the way, have a look at my comment, where you might note that I don’t much care for these “liberal” types either. I would however, allow that they have the right to speak, so long as they do not deny the same right to others.

    The second the guys/gals dressed completely in black with masks and baseballs bats arrived, there should’ve been instant deployment of police with every single one of the rioters arrested. It was a peaceful protest before they arrived. I wonder who paid for their arrival.

    I have long championed the cause of freedom of speech, the right to lawfully assemble and the right to force the elected authority to heed the public collective voice, no matter what the complaint or indeed how reasonable that complaint may or may not be, in short, Voltaireian democracy. However, what we a witnessing here is a whole new standard in civil disobedience, this is no longer reasonable or democratic protest, this is unbridled and unconscionable rioting, looting, arson, criminal personal attack and life threatening endangerment; and what for? To shut down the other guy´s right to freedom of speech and all the other goodies included in the lucky bag of liberty. I agree wholeheartedly with a previous contributor here, this is anarchy and anarchists leave themselves wide open to lawful restoration of good order and discipline, they leave themselves on offer for even more violent means to stop their violence and that may mean shooting the ringleaders and even others who become over zealous in their protest. I have to wonder where the voice of reason is and why it does not seem to be carried on the lips of the Clintons or the Obamas, in truth I suspect, given some of the pre-election rhetoric which emanated from the liberal camp, if the aforementioned dignitaries are actually enjoying and supporting actions which otherwise, if it were in the midst of a liberal administration, they would condemn in short order. The President needs now to demonstrate his firmness of purpose and if that means putting the military on the street to shoot these thugs, then so be it and may God bless those who are charged with such distasteful duty.

    we all had enough of this. These are not protesters they are rioters and all they want to do is destroy other people’s properties and assault innocent people and, of course, police officers. All federal funding for not only Berkeley but other universities that are encouraging riots, assaults and destruction need to stop now. All federal tuition assistance to students in these universities who are nothing but a bunch of thugs/animals needs to end now. That is law-abiding taxpayers’ money and we refuse to continue to have our hard earned taxes supporting these universities and these thugs/animals any longer. Trump is absolutely right pull the plug on all federal money now.

    Again the left’s arrogant hipocracy shows itself. While liberal Democrats consider themselves civil to all, enlightened, open minded, and leaders in diversity, nothing could be further from the truth. They are demostrating that they are violent, closed minded, ignorant, bigoted anarchists who threaten, shout down, and shut down the free speech of anyone with different points of view from their own. This happens over and over. Last night UC Berkeley, today NYU. Students and staff of these universities should be required to get mandatory training in TRUE diversity appreciation and civic responsibility in order for their schools to continue receiving federal and state funding.

    Donald initiated physical violence when he had protesters taken bodily out of his campaigns speeches. He incited his participants to be mean to them and even suggested hurting people. Of course this would occur. Violence breeds violence.

    Amazing how much turmoil and disruption can be caused by one Socialist
    Billionare– George Sorros. He funds and dictates what tactics to use from within the Democratic Party. Indicting him for Sedition/Treason and stripping him of all funds/power assures the bought protestors will stay home. George Soros could be charged with Sedition and Treason for the damage he is causing the U.S. The goal was to discover if someone living in another country meddles into the affairs, security and destabilization of another country, specifically, The United States, could they face criminal charges based on that law?
    The definition of Sedition is “to speak or organize for the purpose of insurrection against established order.” It also lists, “subversion of a Constitution.” Sedition compliments treason. Then there is Seditious Conspiracy, which Webster defines as: “The crime of saying, writing, or doing something that encourages people to destroy the government.”
    The Law Dictionary states that sedition is: “The crime of creating a revolt, disaster or violence against lawful civic authority with the intent to cause overthrow or destroy.” Read this one carefully. George Soros is attempting to deconstruct the constitutional government of the United States and replace it with a Communist Controlled One World Order, destroying the structure of America that
    This is precisely what it taking place in America today under the direction of this billionaire Hungarian Jew, who betrayed his own people during the Holocaust, for profit. He is a leader of the One World Order campaign, in partnership with Communist Party USA (CPUSA), that provided the protest signs used in the riots of Ferguson, Baltimore and the other locations, plus paying the “protesters,” known to Stalin as, “Useful Idiots,” to do their dirty work for them.
    The world he wants to create will keep everyone in poverty while he lives in unspeakable wealth.
     Since the laws of Sedition and Treason seem to read that these laws pertain to those who are citizens of the U.S., can we figure a way to bring such charges, based on these laws, to an individual in another country who has imposed himself and ideals on ours in an attempt to overthrow an established lawful nation?
    Like many, it was assumed that his base of operations would be overseas, possibly in his home country, Hungary. To my utter astonishment, our research found that George Soros lives and operates in The United States!  No wonder he was able to get the anti-Trump riots going so quickly in New York. A US citizen for 50 yrs.

These are NOT “peaceful protests” or “free speech” THIS IS ANARCHY… No MONEY …no “funds” for these “professional protestors” to be bused around and doing their destruction is implemented, this will stop.

The nation is in desperate need of pervasive accountability in all aspects of our national life. It is ironic that leftist reactionaries are opposed to accountability regarding immigrants and refugees. But, given the fact that they are opposed to accountability, in general, it is not surprising.

    I am appalled at the lack of justice for these thugs who were allowed to destroy property. Is this behavior condoned by University of California officials? Do they think we taxpayers should fork over thousands of our tax dollars so that thugs can disobey the law and cause harm and STOP free speech? This is CRAZY thinking and whoever made the decision for thugs to continue to destroy for hours and hours should be held for questioning and responsibility for damages and for the threat made upon the life of an innocent speaker-to-be, Mr.Yiannopoulos. The attack made was upon free speech; it is an attack upon us all. U.C. Berkeley officials responsible for allowing this carnage to continue on for hours and hours I believe are not capable of making a wise decision. Can’t help wondering if anybody on that staff may purposely have condoned and encouraged this attack upon OUR state university?
    WHO announced to those attacker-thugs that Mr. Yiannopoulos would be on campus?

    WASHINGTON – Everyone knows about the tens of millions of dollars various George Soros front groups poured into Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential efforts in 2016, but the Republicans he supported – from Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and his predecessor, John Boehner, have received less attention.

    Republican presidential candidate John Kasich was also a big recipient of Soros largesse – to the tune at least $202,700. That makes Soros one of the Kasich presidential campaign’s top funders.

    While the Soros Fund Management, just one of the Hungarian billionaire’s political tentacles, spent $224,300 on Democratic Party congressional campaigns in 2016, it also spent $31,400 on Republicans, including $10,800 on Ryan – the most of any member of the GOP, the same as it invested in Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, a Democrat.

    What do YOU think? Sound off on Republicans accepting cash from George Soros. Take part in the WND Poll!

    Other GOP congressional recipients of Soros contributions include Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., ($2,500); Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. ($2,700); Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev. ($2,700); Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio ($2,600); Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif. ($2,500); Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla. ($1,000); Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa ($1,000); Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. ($1,000); Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. ($1,000); and Rep. Dan Donovan, R-N.Y. ($300).

            Who is the weak minded person? I don’t know how much more clear I can be. I think it was good that the university gave the stage to Milo in the interest of free speech. I think the 1500 people had the right to peacefully protest Milo as well, again in the interest of free speech. Those peaceful people were not shutting him down they were protesting his message. I am in no way supporting the 150 rioters. It is unfortunate they even showed up but they did and created a situation unsafe for Milo to speak. They were the unlawful ones! IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU FEEBLE MIND??? The University was in no way connected to of responsible for the idiots who rioted!

    UC Berkeley’s failure to use campus police to protect students and businesses on or near the campus is enough proof despite their after the fact condemnation of the actions of the “protesters” This is a civil rights issue in that the university acted in concert with the protesters by withholding the police who could have prevented the violence. The effectively advocated for the protesters in violation of the free speech rights of students and the speaker. I support any action by the government to withhold federal funds from this university. The university president is equally culpable in this case because he failed to protect the interests of all of his students. The property damage to university buildings should not be covered by any insurance because the damage was the result of the university’s failure to act to protect those businesses. The actions of the protesters were criminal in nature and the university is criminally liable. The university president should be charged as an accessory. Also the group that organized this riot should face federal charges and their leaders and funding source should be brought to justice. Law abiding citizens are tired of rioters going free and not being charged with criminal offenses. Innocent people and their businesses should not have to bear the burden of the cost of cleaning up after these criminals. Rioting is not a protected free speech action.

    Berkeley needs to loss all federal funding since it has come out that Berkeley employees (educators) were not only involved in the rioting but seem to have been the ringleaders.

    So why don’t your students just shut up and let people express different views? Why is it necessary to stage a protest to tell the world that Berkeley students are intolerant Stalinists who do not believe in free speech except their own? I’m with Trump. Cut the funding. God help America if its security ever depends on these disloyal students and the equally disloyal teachers who train them in the ways of tyrants and totalitarianism.

    Don’t u remember the video that was shown about rioters being organized and paid either $ or IPhones at trump rallies?? I’m not saying there weren’t any college students there, but I do believe there were paid rioters and not protesters. Shame to damage the college . Bet some of these parents aren’t too happy with all the $ for an education. When my son went to college my husband told him ” just because a professor says something doesn’t mean it true” why do you think Soros gave Hillary so much $?

    It sickens me that President Trump has been treated with such disrespect and contempt from both the liberal media and the violent protesters like the vermin that got out of hand over at the Berkeley campus. all these people just don’t seem to want to except the fact that Trump is our new president now,and to all these sour liberal sore losers,its time to get your heads out of your asses and start acting like Americans instead of anarchistic thugs and
    and other deplorable characters,because all of you are acting out of great stupidity! the Berkeley college certainly doesn’t deserve any medals for allowing protesters to disrupt its campus and causing all the calamity,and if anything,they’ve earned their defundments for failing to keep these out of control protesters in line! this isn’t the 60s people,this is 2017 and we now have a better president then Obama,and if any of you don’t like that truth,then
    piss on you! live in Canada or Mexico,,see how long any of you will last there! that sentiment goes for all the angry liberals crying like whining little babies because Queen Hillary didn’t win this election-Too Bad,,get over it,and act like sensible Americans instead of criminal anarchists,because all many of you will accomplish is imprisonment!

    The schools of today don’t teach civics’ our the history of our country but instead to teach liberal ways and take away free speech unless you are a liberal, Schools that choose to go this way should lose all their federal funding because they are not for all Americans that attend their schools unless you believe their way.

    The protesters who are identified as participating in destroying property should be prosecuted and spend a year in jail. Allowing people to get away with this kind of conduct only encourages others to do the same. What if no one was ever prosecuted for bank robbery? Would you want to work in a bank, or put your money in it?

      Many of these are the ones demanding rights for certain groups and specific individuals; but what do they do – destroy personal property of people who have noting to do with their problem. This is the kind of people we have allowed into our country, this is the kind of people who are tearing the sole out of America.
      And they get away with it as mayors and governors turn their backs on it.
      Why do you suppose that is? Pay offs, politics, fear of consequences? We learned the Democratic party was contracting to a group to create disturbances at the Trump campaign rallies; maybe it is the same group pushing these disobedient events!

    Who, if anyone , investigates these activities? I assume they get permits ; if not then they should be arrested on the spot. If they do there has to be a record of who applied for and received the permit.
    Being in California it probably makes no difference anyway; they have such a foul environment there it is almost unsafe to be in any of the more populated areas. Obama made it perfectly clear if you are Hispanic you pretty well get a free pass to do what you want . His first Secretary of Homeland Security (Janet Napolitano) has established herself deep in the California educational system and continues to carry out the Obama agenda of hands off the illegals, a passive approach patronizing the illegals and appeasing them in anyway they want – – it is no wonder our society is falling apart.

      A news article quoting an Eastern Senator, Rep. Robert Nardolillo , is quoted as saying, ” “If you’re not residing
      here lawfully, then you shouldn’t be offered the opportunity for employment.
      It’s just that simple!”
      The interesting thing about the senators comment is the fact that it is almost the exact thing Senator Obama said before becoming president. Sure changed his stand after he got elected!
      Obama also said if we stop allowing illegals to work in the United States they would leave the country as they are here for the work; that was said about two years ago! He also told the Ameriacn people any illegal immigrant who commits a crime in the United States would be deported; we have thousands of them (maybe millions) who have committed serious crimes in the United States and Obama did nothing about it – – including working in the United States in violation of federal laws + the lady who was caught several years ago using another persons name and Social Security number and illegally buying thousands of dollars worth the stuff. She was caught, tried and was to be deported but has remained in the U.S. for years until she was deported last week – AND OF COURSE, we (U.S. citizens) are “tagged” as the bad guys because she had kids here and WE BROKE up the family.
      How much longer are Americans going to be the fall guys in this pampering, coddling and appeasing illegals in this country. It is costing the Ameriacn tax payers billions and billions of dollars and millions of Americans are out of work because the illegals are being allowed to work in the United States! Remember too, the cost of allowing the illegals to remain here is coming from the TAX PAYING Americans not the millions of Americans who are being kept out of work by the illegals working here; some illegals getting unearned income tax benefits as they do not make enough to pay taxes, and studies a little over a year ago showed 62% of the immigrants in the United States, including illegals, are benefitting from Tax Payers supported Social Support programs.

    If I were to throw a brick through a storewindow, or smash a car, I would be in jail facing fines and probably jail time. Why can’t these rioters be identified from photos and prosecuted? If several of them had to do jail time and pay fines, it might slow the destructive facet of protests. Are there any prosecutors out there with guts?
