Twitter users clapped back at MSNBC host Chris Hayes after he said conservatives only care about free speech on college campuses because they use “grievance and persecution” as their “emotional fuel.”

“If you haven’t been paying attention to right wing media recently, it’s *amazing* how much attention current campus controversies have gotten,” the MSNBC host wrote.

Hayes then argued that conservatives only care about campus issues because their “emotional fuel is grievance and persecution, so they need to focus on Berkeley campus.”

But modern conservatism’s emotional fuel is grievance and persecution, so they need to focus on Berkeley campus. — Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 25, 2017

“You’d think liberal arts undergrads had the nuclear codes.”

Conservatives quickly fired back at the be-speckled host.

@chrislhayes If people at Berkeley didn’t lose their shit because somebody was invited to speak, it wouldn’t be news. — Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) April 25, 2017

@chrislhayes Remind me, Chris: when was the last time a liberal speaker, or their supporters, were attacked on campus? — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) April 25, 2017

Let’s hope Hayes didn’t get too triggered by the Twitter assault.
