Trump, on CPAC stage with Berkeley assault victim, promises executive order on campus free speech

Date:

President Trump announced Saturday that he will sign an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses.

Trump made the announcement at the Conservative Political Action Conference after he brought up to the stage Hayden Williams, the conservative activist attacked last month at University of California-Berkeley. Conservatives have accused some colleges of trying to supress anti-liberal viewpoints.

“He took a punch for all of us,” Trump said of Williams. “And we could never allow that to happen. And here is, in closing with Hayden, here’ the good news. He’s going to be a wealthy young man.”

The president drew cheers as he urged Williams to sue Berkeley as well.

Williams told Trump that students would continue to defend him so long as he defended them.
