US EditionTurning Point USA event prompts protests, arrests at UC Berkeley
- On Monday, a brawl broke out near a Turning Point USA event on Bancroft Way at the University of California, Berkeley, featuring comedian Rob Schneider and Christian author Frank Turek.
- Amid heightened tensions, protesters wore keffiyehs and chanted 'No Trump, No KKK, no fascist USA,' following Charlie Kirk's assassination exactly two months ago.
- Video from Fox News Digital showed two men fighting as police moved in to break up the confrontation sparked by a man selling Charlie Kirk memorial 'Freedom' t-shirts clashing with protesters.
- Two people were arrested for fighting and charged with battery by the City of Berkeley Police, and Dan Mogulof, assistant vice chancellor for communications and public affairs at UC Berkeley, said the university supports speakers' rights but he did not know the incident specifics.
- Event organizers required strict entry rules—no bags, photo ID matching tickets, and no signs—and speakers Rob Schneider and Frank Turek signaled confrontation beforehand.
