Two students who are part of the UC Berkeley College Republicans were attacked Thursday on campus, though not by anyone affiliated with the university. The attack happened the day after a group of protesters caused thousands of dollars worth of damage on campus protesting a planned appearance by the far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.
The university ended up canceling the event a couple of hours before it was supposed to start.
Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson speaks with Troy Worden, a junior at Berkeley and a member of the College Republicans, which invited Yiannopoulos to campus.
