Penn State Cancels Event With Proud Boys Founder After Extremists Incite Violence Outside Venue [VIDEO]

October 25, 2022 Extremists, Trump cultists

The New York Times reports:

Pennsylvania State University canceled a planned comedy event on Monday that was to be co-hosted by the founder of the Proud Boys, a far-right group, after a demonstration against the speakers turned violent. Penn State officials had previously said they would host the event featuring the Proud Boys founder, Gavin McInnes, in the interest of supporting free speech — even as they criticized what they called the speakers’ “vitriolic and hateful language.”

But the university reversed course just before the event on Monday night, saying in a statement that the campus police had determined that it should be canceled because of the “threat of escalating violence.” The university’s president, Neeli Bendapudi, said in a statement that a peaceful street protest against the event had turned violent. She said it was her “understanding” that Alex Stein, a co-host of the comedy event, had entered the crowd and raised tensions.

As I’ve previously reported, far-right troll Alex Stein regularly wades into crowds of protesters to scream at them, once wrestling signs out of the hands of abortion rights activists. Stein earned national headlines earlier this year for catcalling AOC as he followed her outside the US Capitol.
