During a typically free-wheeling two-hour speech at CPAC on Saturday, President Donald Trump invited UC Berkeley assault victim Hayden William up on the stage. Williams was the conservative activist from the Leadership Institute who brutally punched while recruiting on campus for Turning Point USA. Calling the assault disgusting, Trump praised Williams, noting that “he took a hard punch in the face for all of us…and we can never allow that to happen.” The president advised him to sue all all potentially culpable institutional parties affiliated with the so-called birthplace of the free speech movement in addition to the alleged assailant. (Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who is fired Google software engineer James Damore’s legal counsel, is representing Williams in whatever civil claims he may pursue.) Williams pointed out at conservative students across the country “are facing discrimination, harassment, and worse” if they exercise their free-speech rights. “If socialist progressives had their way, they would put the Constitution through a paper shredder in a heartbeat,” he added.

Ever notice how the left actually engages in the very behavior that it accuses the right of doing? It’s happened again. Police at the University of Berkeley, the “birthplace of the free speech movement,” say that have identified an individual who is suspected of physically assaulting a conservative activist who was recruiting for Turning Point USA.
