Riot police were called at the University of New Mexico (UNM) on Wednesday in response to protesters having a collective meltdown over Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s presence on campus.
The conservative firebrand posted video footage of the incident, which showed a mob of protesters wielding signs and shouting expletives, such as “Fuck Charlie Kirk,” and “Get the fuck off our campus.”

“I’m Lisa, I’m Antifa,” a drum-playing protester disclosed in another video clip.
Another protester can be heard threatening violence against a reporter through a megaphone in an expletive-laden tirade.
“Fucking coward. Fucking asshole. Fucking get the fuck off our campus. You don’t fucking belong here, you fucking pussy. Come up off the fucking line. Come on you fucking pussy. Fuck you up,” the protestor declared.
“Hey, the cops are telling you to get back before I fucking sock you, fucking pussy,” the protester added.
