Mediaite’s Alex Griswold reports that former Treasury Secretary and U.C. Berkeley professor Robert Reich doubled down on his conspiracy theory that Breitbart News secretly plotted the Berkeley riots caused by violent leftwing anarchists who wanted to shut down Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ event.
