DAVIS, Calif. — A conservative speaker event at the University of California, Davis was canceled after a fight between about 100 protesters and counterprotesters broke out near the venue, university officials said.
The event Tuesday evening was put together by a student organization affiliated with Turning Point USA, a group that organizes young people on college campuses to engage in conservative activism, UC Davis officials said in a statement Wednesday.
The university said the brawl began before a speech by Stephen Davis, who is known as “MAGA Hulk.”
It said that according to reports, some of those who took part in the melee wore apparel labeled “Proud Boys” and that witnesses reported people with antifa, a contraction for anti-fascists, were also involved.
