Video taken from Fox News. - Police are searching for the man seen punching conservative activist Hayden Williams on Berkeley's campus. - Shocking moment conservative activist is punched in the face on UC-Berkeley campus over sign reading 'hate crime hoaxes hurt real victims'.
An assault on a conservative activist on the University of California-Berkeley campus has been caught on camera. Hayden Williams was running a campus recruitment table for the conservative group Turning Points USA on Tuesday when he was approached by a violent attacker, video of the incident shows.
According to Campus Reform, the sign on the group's table read 'hate crime hoaxes hurt real victims,' a reference to allegations that actor Jussie Smollett staged a racist and homophobic attack against himself in Chicago. The man who attacked Williams shouted: 'Mother f**ker. You racist little inbred b***h. C**t!'
At one point, he also threatened to 'shoot' Williams. Williams said that as the attack unfolded, a number of people simply stood by and watched. 'Some students nearby tabling were laughing, even one guy was smiling while I was being attacked and trying to hand me his flyer as a joke,' he told Campus Reform.
'The idea is free speech has consequences.... which include you getting assaulted if they find you promoting ideas others don't agree with.' Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point, a campus group devoted to limited government and free markets, said that the incident highlighted a double standard.
'Imagine if the attacker was wearing MAGA hat, would be national news! This is the violent left!' Kirk wrote on Twitter.
