At the University of Washington, the College Republicans club is being accused of inflaming tensions by inviting a right-wing speaker for Jan. 20, Inauguration Day.

Those Republicans, however, say the timing of the appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart News, is accidental. Breitbart News publishes pieces that criticize and ridicule working women, Muslims and people of color.

UW’s College Republicans say Trump’s election has energized their group. But chapter secretary Kai Frenay said it’s also brought some dirty looks when people see the College Republican pin on his backpack.

“It’s kind of sad because they don’t know who I am as a person; they don’t even know if I voted for Trump or not," Frenay said. "Being a Republican on this campus has effectively become a label, ‘You’re the enemy.’”

Frenay sees Yiannopoulos, who has been visiting colleges around the country, as a provocative critic of campus politics.
