UC Berkeley: Antifa Attacks TPUSA Event

Violent “Antifa thugs” stormed a sold-out event for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA at the University of California, Berkeley, organizers said — with keffiyeh-clad protesters clashing with cops and attendees, leaving some covered in blood.

Turning Point USA leaders quickly blamed the bloody violence on anti-fascist agitators as footage showed demonstrators trying to break through police barricades after the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday.

As the violence erupted, one disturbing clip showed a man in a red “Freedom” T-shirt with blood gushing from his face.

Police were spotted pulling him and another man apart as anti-Turning Point demonstrators — including some sporting keffiyehs — tried to intervene.

At least two people had already been arrested, including one for battery, before the event got underway, police said.

As night fell, footage captured demonstrators chanting loudly outside as cops clad in riot gear formed a barricade and blocked them from getting closer to the event.

At one point, a sign-carrying male protester could be seen being dragged away by officers after refusing to move back.

Despite the chaotic scenes outside, organizers said the hours-long event — hosted by actor and comedian Rob Schneider and Christian author Dr. Frank Turek — went off without a hitch inside.

Riot police were still in place as attendees were spotted filing out of the venue.
