Yeah, this is all too in keeping with American liberalism, so we shouldn’t be shocked. It is yet another reminder that the Left is unhinged and that they’re okay with resorting to violence. This brings us once again back to the UC Berkeley campus, where
Hayden Williams, a Leadership Institute field representative, was assaulted on campus for merely trying to get students to join Turning Points USA. It was filmed. There is an investigation, but that doesn’t mean these liberal pieces of trash were celebrating him getting punched in the mouth. Campus Reform, the media wing of LI, has more on the Berkeley assault, where even employees of the school were very pleased that violence was used to shut down free speech. This is America in 2019:
As the school began to investigate the incident of a conservative helping students recruit for Turning Point USA, university employee Yuvi Panda sent a tweet Wednesday night that read, “OH MY GOD THE MAGA PEOPLE ON UC BERKELEY CAMPUS YESTERDAY GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY SOMEONE THIS MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONALLY SO MUCH BETTER.”

He then thanked the “random stranger” for “not letting it go unchallenged.”
“Hope you aren’t in too much trouble. F**k you, Turning Point USA,” Panda added.

Panda is employed by Berkeley’s Data Science Education Program as a DevOps Architect, according to the university’s website. UC-Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof confirmed Panda's employment at the school to Campus Reform on Thursday.

UC Berkeley took a hard stance in condemning the unidentified assailant, stating to Campus Reform “in no uncertain terms” that it condemns violence “of any sort, for any reason.”
“This person does not speak for the university, does not represent the university, and does not share the university’s values,” Mogulof told Campus Reform. “The University has made clear through word and deed that violence and harassment are reprehensible and intolerable, no matter who the perpetrators and victims are, or what they believe in.”

Yeah, they may not tolerate it…on paper. They still allowed the campus to be absolutely trashed by crazy leftists when Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter were invited to speak. Ben Shapiro faced similar threats. This is absurd, but given that UC Berkeley is the home for the illiberal, it’s just another day that ends in “y.” We all need daily reminders of this: liberalism is a mental disease.
Here's the video of the attack [Warning: some very strong language]
