It is a truism of contemporary public life
that liberals are bullies.
And the bullying is worst on college campuses, which
are now, more than ever, islands of repression in a sea of freedom.
But some
brave souls, like Candace Owens, are willing to run the leftist gauntlet to
bring a dose of common sense to college students.
Candace was at the University of
Pennsylvania, which I believe was once a pretty good institution. She was
besieged and harassed by an Antifa group, augmented by the usual cadre of
liberals.
Candace’s tweet:
-----
Antifa is here!! Enjoy
this video of the neo-KKK stalking and harassing me as I try to invite a group
of peaceful black students into my event at UPENN. The Democrat’s domestic terrorist
arm strike again! Too bad we will NEVER BACK DOWN. WE WILL BE FREE. #BLEXIT
--------
Candace is right about Antifa. Antifa is indeed a neo-KKK organization because they are, as she says, “the Democrats’ domestic terrorist arm,” just as the KKK was for many years. Candace’s grandfather was besieged by the KKK, which, as I recall, fired shots into his house.
Two generations later, Candace is
confronting the same kind of pure evil. Thank goodness we have people with such
courage in our public life.

Two charged with assault, robbery after
allegedly beating man wearing 'MAGA' hat
BY JUSTIN WISE
| THE HILL
Two men in Maryland were arrested and charged with
assault and robbery last weekend after allegedly attacking a man wearing one
of President Trump's
signature "Make America Great Again" hats.
The Montgomery County Police Department said
in a statement Monday that the suspects, Jovan Crawford and Scott
Duncan Roberson, began harassing the victim about the hat as he walked in
an area in Germantown, Md., on Saturday. The suspects are accused
of beating the victim, Atsu Nable, after he told them he was
entitled to his own political beliefs.
The police said that the assailants repeatedly struck
Nable until he fell to the ground. They then "removed property from the
victim, and destroyed items of value."
Crawford and Roberson are facing charges of
robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and second-degree assault, as well as
related crimes.
Nable told
Fox 5 DC that he immigrated to the U.S. from Togo in 2007 and that he
is now a U.S. citizen. He said to the news station that he's been staunch
supporter of Trump since he launched his presidential campaign.
He added to WJLA,
a local ABC affiliate, that Trump's campaign caused him to register as a
Republican.
“I like everything that he does. Like, I came here
legally," Nable said. "Why can’t all people come here legally
then? I went through the right process, the proper channels and I’m here, so
why can’t they do the same thing?”
The caps with Trump's signature slogan have
been at the center of multiple altercations since Trump's presidential
campaign.
A woman in Massachusetts was charged in
February with disorderly conduct after confronting a man in a Mexican
restaurant and forcefully taking his MAGA hat off his head.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said
at the time that the woman was in the U.S. illegally and now
faces deportation.
That same month, a
New Jersey teen was arrested and charged with attacking an 81-year-old
man for wearing a "MAGA" hat.
