His event Tuesday at Ohio State was part of his ongoing campus tour, which is sponsored by conservative student group Young America’s Foundation.

Outside the auditorium where the event was held, protesters also chanted “f--- Ben Shapiro,” according to video from Lantern editor Edward Sutelan.

Ohio State has an athletic rivalry with the University of Michigan.

Similar protests at Shapiro’s speaking events turned violent last year at University of California, Berkley, resulting in significant damage to campus and multiple arrests.

Shapiro previously wrote for Breitbart News and is now the editor-in-chief of the Daily Wire.
