Penn State To Host Proud Boys Founder Gavin McInnes

The Huffington Post reports:

Students at Pennsylvania State University are in an uproar after thousands of dollars in student fees were allocated for a campus event later this month featuring Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys street gang.

The Oct. 24 event, titled “Stand Back & Stand By,” will feature McInnes and far-right media figure Alex Stein for a comedy hour in which the pair will riff on right-wing grievances such as “political correctness, gender roles, and immigration,” according to a pitch to sponsor the event from campus conservative organization Uncensored America.

On Tuesday, the university decried McInnes’s “vitriolic and hateful language” in a statement. Still, it announced that the event would be allowed to continue “because Penn State fully supports the fundamental right of free speech.”

In 2018, McInnes was invited to speak at a GOP event in Manhattan, and again he brought Proud Boys. His gang joined members of a local skinhead group, and they attacked protesters.

Two PBs remain in prison today over that attack.https://t.co/1es6bC8Egb

Should also note: Penn State blocked Richard Spencer after Unite the Right.

A bigoted fascist leader who promoted violence among his followers. A lot like McInnes. https://t.co/3TUCf4URqg
