Guised in language protecting free speech President Trump defended a self proclaimed white nationalist after his last leg of his tour was cancelled by UC Berkeley after protests against the appearance.

Angry student protests on Wednesday, February 1st, ahead of Brietbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. He was billed to perform the last leg of his self-titled “Dangerous Faggot Tour.”

At Depaul University, Yiannopoulos told the crowd”

“I’ve worked out why there are so many Black girls here. ‘Cause I f—-d their brothers” and “I give it 20 minutes; the statistics of Black incarceration are about to go up.”

He claims he is trying to counter political correctness but in all it seems he is craving attention. Along with these kinds of comments he has also recently started a scholarship only for white men!

Atlanta Black Start reported:

UC Berkeley ultimately called off Yiannopoulos’ speaking event around 6 p.m. PST, citing “violence, destruction of property and … a concern for public safety” for the sudden cancellation. Witnesses told NBC News they heard protesters shouting “No Trump, No Milo” after the cancellation was announced via megaphone and Twitter. University officials reported fires set across campus, including one sparked by a firebomb that ignited a generator-powered spotlight, according to NBC News. Cell-phone footage from the fiery protest also showed demonstrators launching commercial-grade fireworks at police.

“The violence was instigated by a group of about 150 masked agitators who came onto our campus and interrupted an otherwise nonviolent protest,” UC Berkeley said in a statement. “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.”

The fire is out now. People just milling around, listening to drummers. But this is what it looked like #MiloAtCal @UCBerkeley @nbcbayarea pic.twitter.com/lsIeNLNbBS

On Thursday, Feb. 2, in an extraordinary show of public support, newly elected President Donald Trump took to Twitter to defend the Breitbart editor. Trump threatened to pull federal funding of the public university for not protecting the “free speech” of Yiannopoulos. This show of support by the president of the United States for someone openly known as a hero of the white nationalist movement is breathtaking in this day and time.

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

Just last year, Yiannapolus was banned from Twitter after waging a racially offensive verbal attack on African-American comedienne Leslie Jones, calling her a “black dude” because he took offense at an all-female lead cast in the remake of “Ghostbusters.” He often used his Twitter account to mock liberal opponents of the alt-right/white nationalist movement.
