The College Republicans at the University of Washington decided to host the group Patriot Prayer on-campus. The group is known for being pro-Trump and hosting rallies in liberal cities.

According to Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson, the group’s goal is to be non-violent and to gather peacefully. They merely want to come together and share their common beliefs in individual freedom.

Here’s what one participant had to say (and it’s rather blunt):

You can’t blame her for being upset with these idiotic protestors.

The College Republicans issued a statement to their members, reminding everyone to be peaceful and non-violent.

Prayer to campus. Currently lots of yelling from counter group, but no clashes so far. #KOMONews pic.twitter.com/zjoZCNP0hM — Morgan Chesky (@BreakingChesky) February 10, 2018

The university received numerous complaints and issued the following statement:

As a public univ., we have free speech obligations. This includes for groups invited by recognized student organizations, like College Republicans and their invitation to Patriot Prayer. Out of abundance of caution, organizers of other campus events chose to cancel/postpone. — U. of Washington (@UW) February 10, 2018

A public university has a responsibility to make sure all student voices are heard on campus. Part of going to college is exposing yourself to other ideas and viewpoints (including the conservative view).

UW was advised by law enforcement canceling the event, if not done voluntarily by organizers — which they declined to do — would likely pose greater safety risks, as both supporters of Patriot Prayer and counter-protesters were likely to confront one another elsewhere on campus. — U. of Washington (@UW) February 10, 2018

Of course organizers declined to cancel their event. Liberals have taken to threatening conservatives and conservative speakers as a way of scaring them into canceling their events. It’s a scare tactic that has been used to stifle the conservative viewpoint. And guess what? Conservatives are saying no more.

The @UW’s commitment to inclusion and equity remains steadfast, and our efforts to advance that cause will continue. https://t.co/O8bZLnvJdc — U. of Washington (@UW) February 10, 2018

At least UW learned from the mistakes of liberal campuses like Berkeley.

Of course, people were upset by the decision.

You have failed all of us, UW. You chose to protect violence over the rest of your community. And then have the nerve to say you promote inclusion. Disgusting. — Marie (@kagegetsuoni) February 10, 2018

By allowing EVERY voice and point of view on campus, UW IS being inclusive. But to liberals that generally means shutting down conservatives, doesn’t it?

As a university, you have the responsibility to provide a reasonably safe experience for your students, faculty and staff. Allowing organizations well known for inciting violence to congregate is a an abject failure ofnthat responsibility. — Brandy Donaghy (@Scatterbrandy) February 10, 2018

What makes you think this group incites violence?

You should really go look at what they're saying so you understand the horrible optics this had for the U, not to mention the implications it has for marginalized students — Orlando Garcia (@landodiazmusic) February 10, 2018

Translation: WOMP. WOMP. WOMP.

Everyone is “marginalized” these days.

It really just appears that the university protects racist groups over events put on by students of color. — rachel (@Rocknrollclub) February 10, 2018

Oh, yes. I forgot. Liberals automatically assume Trump supporters are racists.

And in typical liberal fashion, if you don’t like something, yell “RACISM!” or “RACIST!” and everything will be fine…NOT.

So what you are saying is you purposely sabotaged a black history month event by knowingly inviting a group to your campus that poses immediate danger to your black students. — Tallalalalala Says Throw The Nazis in the Trash (@VestaDear) February 10, 2018

Actually, the College Republicans invited the group, not the university. Just because the university didn’t shut down the event doesn’t mean that they’re putting it on. Learn how these things work.

Words that incite violence are not protected speech — Lumbervore (@iwooll) February 10, 2018

Except when it’s ANTIFA, right?

Free speech my ass! Trump is the Pied Piper of Nazis, luring them out of their hidey holes, and you are aiding and abetting this! Shame on you! Or, like Trump, have you no shame? — Diane Powell (@Brunhildagis) February 10, 2018

Free speech is great when you agree with the messaging, right Diane?

The poor police had to anticipate what these idiots were going to do.

Seattle SWAT fueling up with about 30 min before the #PatriotPrayer rally begins. They have a plethora of zip ties stuffed into their bulletproof vests. #UWRally #UW pic.twitter.com/GzNxQ1A921 — nathalie graham (@gramsofgnats) February 10, 2018

At least they got their Starbucks in beforehand.

Here’s what the Patriot Prayer participants looked like:

Sadly, Seattle is representative of a lot of other states. The big city ruins things for the other 98 percents of the state.

Joey Gibson: "if the world hates you then you're doing something right for the man upstairs." #PatriotPrayer #uwprotest — nathalie graham (@gramsofgnats) February 10, 2018

Ain’t that the truth?

"So many people are triggered about being an American these days… these politicians don't want us talking about freedom." #PatriotPrayer pic.twitter.com/Xa4QCQonV0 — nathalie graham (@gramsofgnats) February 10, 2018

YES.

We shouldn’t have to be ashamed to love living in America.

And, just like every American-loving rally begins, the Star Spangled Banner was sung.

David didn't want to give me his last name but he's out here for freedom of speech. Even hate speech should be protected. He just started a chant of "My speech, my choice." #uwprotest #PatriotPrayer #UWRally pic.twitter.com/G6uChCQVta — nathalie graham (@gramsofgnats) February 10, 2018

Give me liberty or give me death.

Give me liberty or give me death!

Here’s what counter protestors looked like:

UW Speech: The counter protestors to Patriot Prayer have arrived at Red Square. #KOMONews pic.twitter.com/TpmTPjEQ8M — Morgan Chesky (@BreakingChesky) February 10, 2018

“Racists are not welcome here.”

Good to know.

“Hey hey, ho ho, Patriot Prayer has got to go…” Counter protest at UW’s Red Square. #KOMONews pic.twitter.com/2NqPu8tcV5 — Morgan Chesky (@BreakingChesky) February 10, 2018

Ever notice that liberals use the SAME chants for EVERYTHING?

“Hey, ho, Trump has got to go.”

Sound familiar?

Nothing screams “backed by the Democrats” like pre-printed signs.

UW SPEECH: Counter protest doing their best to drown out message from Patriot Prayer. Police keeping a heavy presence to maintain barricaded buffer. #KOMONews pic.twitter.com/IyFufFGaNJ — Morgan Chesky (@BreakingChesky) February 10, 2018

Can we take a moment to define Fascism? Because lefties throw this word around just as much as they do “racism.”

Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

How the hell is Trump trying to centralize the government or be a dictator? If anything, he’s PUSHED for the republic we live in by encouraging individuals to get involved in politics.

This is what police were forced to do:

But remember, these counter-protesters are “peaceful” and are here to “stand up against hate.”

So these are the people who started the riot?

College kids are so intimidated by other people’s thoughts that they have to basically riot. Isn’t that great?

Bottles thrown at cops. Proud Boy group being escorted back to designated area. It appears two more people arrested, though side is again unclear. #uwprotest pic.twitter.com/NdFD9asyKM — Mitch Pittman (@Mitch_Pittman) February 10, 2018

NO ONE should throw bottles at cops. NO. ONE. They’re there to protect you idiots.

UPDATE: February 12, 2:30 p.m. EST

A video of Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson’s speech has surfaced
