    Planned Ann Coulter Visit To UC Berkeley Has Organizers Fearing Another Backlash

    March 29, 2017 6:48 PM By Jessica Flores

    BERKELEY (KPIX 5) — The planned visit by firebrand conservative commentator Ann Coulter to the University of California, Berkeley has officials and organizers worrying about a repeat of the rioting which greeted Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos.

    Coulter’s visit to UC Berkeley isn’t for another month. But student organizers of the event say they are nervous that the visit from the outspoken conservative will spark another massive backlash.

    “We are pretty apprehensive right now about everything,” said Pranav Jandahyala, president of the nonpartisan student political organization BridgeCal. “But at the same time, what’s pushing us forward is our optimism. We truly believe we can put on a great event.”

    In January, college Republicans cancelled a talk by right-wing commentator Yiannopoulos after violent protesters smashed windows and started a fire outside the event.

    This time, the college Republicans are working with BridgeCal which says it’s hoping the university has a stronger security plan.

    “This time we are definitely going to push them to provide more security than they did last time,” said Jandahlyala. “More officers on the ground instead of in the balcony.”

    Coulter is expected to talk about immigration. Critics say she is anti-immigrant and her views racist.

    UC Berkeley said it is committed to free speech, but in a statement it said, “The administration wishes to make clear that an invitation of this sort in no way suggests our endorsement of a particular point of view, and we will continue to affirm our commitment to the values of diversity, equality, and tolerance that underlie the greatness of Berkeley and, indeed, of our nation.”

    The conservative group Young America’s Foundation will pay the majority of Coulter’s $20,000 speaking fee.

    Student organizers say the April 27th event will have a question-and-answer session, and they hope instead of explosive protests, the event ignites heated discussions.

    “So what I challenge you to do is actually confront her,” said Jandahyala. “If she comes to speak on campus and there’s no challenge to her viewpoint and people resort to violence and maybe she doesn’t speak, her views go unchallenged.”

    This is pretty weird, first we have Yiannopoulos, a homosexual and now Coulter, a surgically enhanced transvestite getting reactions out of Berkeley, you would think they were right at home.

    Notice also the absence of attention from other conservative bloggers.

    Strange times - isn't it?

    I've never been a fan of Coulter's. She seemed to be too much of a fan of Pres. Bush when he was in office, and I suppose that colored my opinion of her.

    That's "him", not "her". Coulter is a man.

    Hard to tell if you're being serious. If so, please provide your liberally progressive source. It's no secret that the liberal left will stop at nothing to viciously attack a strong conservative black man or a strong minded conservative woman.

    Are you serious? You didn't know that Coulter is a "transgender" male? Ann Coulter is a man with radical cosmetic surgery done on the genitals and other body parts and dosed with a regular supply of female hormones to induce breast growth.

    Still waiting for your source. My google search showed nothing but a bunch of liberally progressive rumors with no actual documentation or proof. I did, however, find where Ann Coulter adamantly denied the rumors.

    No need to fear a backlash. Just instruct the police and campus security to do their job to protect our Universities and Constitutional freedoms from violent thugs. End of story. Thugs show up, thugs act up, thugs go to jail, Ann Coulter speaks!

    She will be speaker at a Republican benefit dinner in Modesto on April 28th. Tickets are going for $250-$10,000. There is supposed to be a protest from the left, with protestors being brought in from Southern Cal. The local right news talk show host has been calling for Conservatives to show up to counter protest.

    Sorry, but if you can't tell a transgender male just by looking at one, your confusion is beyond curing with documentation.
