WATCH: SJWs Protesting ‘Nazi’ Ben Shapiro’s Speech Are Confronted By Reporter. They’re Totally Clueless.

On Monday, about 200 SJW protesters took to the campus of UCLA in an attempt to silence conservative writer and commentator Ben Shapiro. The protest was unsuccessful and Shapiro gave his speech, which was, ironically, about creeping fascism on campus.

The protesters engaging in the sort of behavior that Shapiro was warning against inside the lecture hall were confronted by right-wing journalist Austen Fletcher, known as Fleccas. They were about as incoherent and clueless as you might imagine.

Flooding the venue, protesters chanted loudly, “Nazis go home!” — (Shapiro is an Orthodox Jew) — “Right-wing bigots go away!” and “It isn’t a debate when you’re just spreading hate!”

“I don’t think he should be able to speak. Ben Shapiro incites hate speech, he does not incite free speech,” explained one clueless female protester.

“Donald Trump is worse than Hitler!” screamed another anti-free-speech college student. As noted by Fleccas, this chant, like the rest of them, seems misplaced (and insultingly inaccurate) considering Shapiro did not even vote for Trump.

“Just because somebody is wearing a suit, just because he looks like Richard Spencer, is wearing a haircut like the Hitler youth, doesn’t mean they’re right,” said one male protester.

Yeah, apparently there’s a strong stereotype that a person who has a “Hitler youth” haircut is always “right.” Shapiro doesn’t even have that haircut. The protester was also completely ignoring Shapiro’s consistent condemnation of the alt-right, which has consistently targeted him.

“F*** Ben Shapiro and f*** Milo Yiannopoulos,” screamed another protester, apparently totally ignorant of Shapiro’s take on Yiannopoulos.

Other protesters trying to shut down Shapiro were confronted by pro-free-speech counter-protesters. When the protesters were asked what their beef was with Shapiro, they deflected to President Trump, gave no specific answer, and then fled the interaction.

Ironically, the students at the protest who were in favor of free speech were non-immigrants and immigrants, black, brown and white people, male and female, piercing a hole in the protesters’ weak narrative.
