A far-right campaigner who started the ‘Twinks for Trump’ movement has been arrested following an assault.

Footage shows Lucian Wintrich in a heated altercation with a student at a university speech.

The 29-year-old was delivering ‘it’s okay to be white’ at the University of Connecticut when protesters started shouting ‘go home Nazis’, ‘black lives matter’ and ‘f*** you’.

It escalated when Wintrich left the podium, chased a student down the auditorium and grabbed her.


He was arrested by UConn police and charged with breach of peace. Wintrich was later released on $1,000 bail.

It's really unfortunate that some of the kids at @UConn felt the need to be violent and disruptive during a speech that focused on how the leftist media is turning Americans against each other. Tonight proved my point. — Lucian B. Wintrich (@lucianwintrich) November 29, 2017

Wintrich showed no remorse for his behavior, posting a photo of his mugshot on Instagram later that night.



He then posted on Twitter: ‘It’s really unfortunate that some of the kids at @UConn felt the need to be violent and disruptive during a speech that focused on how the leftist media is turning Americans against each other. Tonight proved my point.’

UConn’s president, Susan Herbst, said in a statement: ‘This was a very disappointing evening.

‘Thoughtful, civil discourse should be a hallmark of democratic societies and American universities, and this evening fell well short of that.’

Wintrich, a White House correspondent for The Gateway Pundit, started the ‘Twinks for Trump’ campaign during the 2016 presidential race.

The campaign included a series of photographs of hairless men wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hats .
