On Thursday, a radical Antifa mob shut down a scheduled speech from conservative Tomi Lahren in front of the University of New Mexico’s Turning Point USA chapter on campus. The mob stormed the Student Union building, forcing security to escort Lahren to safety.
The unruly extremists repeatedly screamed, “Shut it down! Shut it down!” before breaching the event.

Afterward, Lahren wrote on Twitter, “Campus terrorists showed up at my @UNM speech tonight and UNM did not care. They shoved officers and tried to bust down the door to the speech room. These colleges are unbelievable. They don’t care about the safety of conservative students or guests. Sickening.”
She added, “New Mexico police are now dispatched to my speech to deal with these violent and abhorrent protesters. Over speech you don’t like? Freakin disgusting.”
U.S. Sen Ted Cruz reacted to the mob rule at UNM, writing, “Disgraceful. Yet another university ignores & condones leftist violence and censorship.”
ANTIFA domestic terrorists took credit for the violent attack on Lahren’s event, with Post Millennial journalist Andy Ngo reporting, “#Antifa & far-left accounts are taking credit for shutting down Tomi Lauren’s campus speaking event at @UNM. The extremist movement views freedom of expression as intolerable, & uses violence or threat of violence to suppress speech.”
A violent Antifa mob previously attempted to shut down an event in 2017 with Milo Yiannopoulos, where arrests took place of far-left rioters.
Sad.
Despicable that Antifa is allowed to freely terrorize conservative voices.
UNM is ruled by the Dems and bad side. Brain washed. Look at the hospital. They saved my life years ago. I would not set foot in there today.

Why do we keep sending our kids to these schools? Until enough people start responding in a way that hurts the other side financially, nothing will change.
No surprise here, this is why UNM sucks. In fact once again this would be a denial of 1st Amendments by the liberal democraps.
Inexcusable. But, hardly surprising.
The very people WHO CLAIM to be the most inclusive, simply are not. No civil obedience on that side either, yet it seems to be perfectly fine. Shame, as united we stand, and divided we will surely fall.
The use of billy clubs by security would have been justified.
Shame on you UNM. When your enrollment numbers take a nosedive. Go “woke” go broke.
Defund UNM!
UNM condones this type behavior. Free speech on this campus, no way!
Why would New Mexico parents send their children to this radical university to be indoctrinated in a socialistic radical education? What has socialism done for this world? Forget free open dialogue , it is dead on this campus.
ANTIFA IS BEING WATCHED…….THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT IS COMING THEIR WAY………TIME TO TURN NEW MEXICO RED AND CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION THAT HAS PLEGED THIS STATE FOR TO MANY YEARS…..
I know what you mean and I am with you. That is why Antifa does not leave the safe haven of socialist spaces.
Antifa and BLM terrorists are the strong arm of the Dems…UNM is complicit no doubt…
I work a a very large local engineering employer. Lets just say that we don’t hire UNM students. They are not qualified to do anything. The students only have time to protest, instead of late night studies. Dumb is my first thought when I see a UNM grad.
UNM has become another commie stronghold emulating the City of Albuquerque and this wretched State of NM . The city and State are dominated by Marxist leftist “leaders “ that ensure that we will be last in every good category. My apologies to Ms. Lahren for discovering this first hand. The disease of communism is alive and spreading in NM aided by the prostitute media.
Norteno said it all.
