EXCLUSIVE: Violent Student Protesters Shut Down Tomi Lahren Speech at University of New Mexico

Fox News personality Tomi Lahren visited the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque Thursday to speak to the campus Turning Point USA chapter but had to be escorted to safety by New Mexico State Police after a violent mob shoved into the Student Union, past campus police protecting the doors to the auditorium where she was speaking, and nearly into the auditorium itself while chanting, “F**k Tomi Lahren! F**k Turning Point!”

Lahren, her father, and several members of the TPUSA chapter were barricaded in a back room in the student union for 45 minutes while campus police called in reinforcements from the Albuquerque Police Department and the New Mexico State Police, according to an Instagram Live video Lahren posted shortly after getting to safety.

Turning Point officials confirmed Lahren’s account and provided video from TPUSA chapter members exclusively to RedState.

Lahren’s appearance had been advertised by the group for weeks, and, as usually happens, the anti-free speech/anti-free thought crowd made their displeasure known and threatened to protest. In her video Lahren said she’d heard rumblings about a protest, but thought it would be the normal.

Usually it’s small, it’s manageable, just some rowdy people, disgruntled liberals, you know, the standard.

So, a protest started. We were in a room. They were outside, of course, screaming and chanting the F word, disgusting things. And then it turned violent. They started pushing the officers that were guarding the door, trying to bust in the door. I don’t know what they were trying to do to me and to the others that were there listening to the speech, but they tried to bust through the doors. Then at one point they almost made it through the door….

Not nearly enough officers were present. I don’t think anybody knew it was going to be this bad. But then somebody pulled the fire alarm. Alarms were going off everywhere and we’re all basically barricaded in this room, can’t leave. I was escorted away for my safety by officers. Then we heard reports of shots fired. apparently no shots were fired, so thank goodness for that.

And of course, I am quite sure that the administration will get right on it to ban these "protestors" and kick them out of the school.

There will be abject apologies from the supine administration, and sincere incantations to the new leftist race ideology (i.e., old-fashioned Nazism wrapped up in new-fangled duds).

Were these students fascists or just "semi-fascists"?

Full on fascists.  All they were missing were the matching brown uniforms.

Yep.  This is what fascists do.

If it walks like a fascist and talks like a fascist, it probably is one.

Fox News Media contributor Tomi Lahren evacuated as 'protesters' pound doors at University of New Mexico speech
By Rajan Laad

Political commentator Tomi Lahren, a Fox News Media contributor, was scheduled to speak at the University of New Mexico last week.

However, a large crowd of ‘protesters’ gathered outside the event, demanding that Lahren not be permitted to speak on campus.

Why?

Merely because Lahren has a different worldview than that of the ‘protestors.’

The ‘protestors’ banged the doors of the venue of the event and even attempted to break in.

They held placards with slogans such as “UNM has no room for racists” and “F*** white supremacy,” and chanted slogans like, “Shut it down,” and, “F*** Tomi Lahren.”

They were Brandonites, but had they been issued their brown shirts yet? They certainly earned them.

Hah! Had I but scrolled down one more comment, GMTA!

You're not going to like this post.

Maybe it's time for "the right" to start arming up (to the extent that can be permitted under state law), and putting on some "shirts" of its own -- and confront these antifas face-to-face, and weapon-to-weapon.

Until the right is willing to do that, the intimidation will continue.
Indeed it will get WORSE.

You say, "NO, don't do that, enforce the laws using the police!"
I say, that's working great so far, isn't it?
Just as it worked here, right?

I told you that you weren't going to like this post.

Fascists doing what fascists do.

The American variety seem to favor the Italian look and go for black shirts.  (Look at any video of an "Antifa" action:  pretty much a see of black shirts.)

Until we pull all federal funding for the schools that support this, nothing will change..

Fair point.

I think the current crop have a more Italian sense of fashion:  if you ever look at a "antifa" invoked riot they wear black shirts.

True enough.

Conservatives love to hear liberals speak, it make sit easier to use their own words against them and make them look stupid.
L:iberals are afraid to hear Conservatives speak, because it might make them think and realize they are wrong.
