Cenk Uygur said, ‘I don’t care if I agree or disagree with her opinions. [Gaines] should be allowed to speak, of course.’

Gabrielle Eitzell:

On Tuesday night, progressive commentators Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian from the leftist outlet The Young Turks (TYT) condemned the violent protest and alleged assault against NCAA champion Riley Gaines that occurred at San Francisco State University (SFSU).

Campus Reform has extensively covered the events that transpired at the SFSU event on April 6, during which trans rights activists attacked and trapped Gaines on the California public school’s campus for three hours until San Francisco city police threatened criminal charges against those who did not disperse.

Although the university has called the protest peaceful, the event has been widely criticized, including by members of Congress.
