Last night hundreds of protesters at University of California in Berkeley smashed windows, set fires and clashed with police as they forced the controversial "alt-right" speaker and Breitbart News editor, Milo Yiannopoulos, to cancel his appearance at the liberal-leaning institution (we covered the madness here: "Trump Threatens To Pull U.C. Berkeley Funds After Violent Protesters Cancel Yiannopoulos Speech").

In response to the demonstrations, this morning Kellyanne Conway took to Fox News to blast the mainstream media for "emboldening" protesters by implicitly supporting their violent and destructive actions. Per The Hill:

“What’s going on out there is what’s going on all across the country,” Conway, a key aide to President Trump, said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” Thursday. “You have protesters who feel very emboldened,” added Conway, who served as Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign manager. "They’ve got media cameras following them, they give interviews.” “I don’t even know if they know what they’re protesting. Really, what is it, the free speech? Having someone on your campus who has a dissenting point of view or wants to present an alternative point of view?” Conway said students lashing out at Yiannopoulos, who is a popular figure with the alt-right, are in for a rude awakening upon graduation. “In the real world, when these kids grow up and try to find jobs – which they will in the Trump economy – [they’ll see] life doesn’t work that way, folks.”

Here is Conway's full interview with Fox:

Yiannopoulos, whose appearance was canceled just two hours before he was set to take the stage, blasted the hypocrisy of the Left saying they are "absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down."

Yiannopoulos blamed the cancellation it on “violent left-wing protestors.” “One thing I do know for sure: The Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down,” he wrote on Facebook.

And, as usual, President Trump didn't mince words in expressing his opinion and solution to the violent Leftist protesters.
