Wednesday’s destruction grabbed headlines around the world, prompting debate over the handling of the event by the university and outrage over the actions of the anarchists.
The destruction led a range of conservatives — including Yiannopoulos and President Trump — to denounce UC Berkeley and its students. A day after the protests, Trump used Twitter to threaten to pull federal funding from the university, even though the university had allowed Yiannopoulos to speak before the violence occurred.
