Masked Antifa protesters disrupted a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at UC Davis, taking apart the organization's setup. The incident occurred during a TPUSA "Prove Me Wrong" event featuring former police officer Brandon Tatum. Protesters dismantled the tent and banners and attempted to seize personal electronics from the organization’s representatives.
Reports indicate that local police were present but did not intervene to prevent the vandalism and assaults on students. The actions of the protesters included ripping down the TPUSA canopy and attempting to steal devices such as an iPad and laptop from a TPUSA field representative.
During the event, protesters chanted, "Antifascista! A! Anti!", while engaging with the TPUSA staff and students. In one altercation, an Antifa activist seized a sign from a TPUSA supporter and struck her on the head. The aggressor reportedly shouted, "Get out of the way, bitch!"
In a related incident earlier this week, TPUSA Chapter President Paige Neumann and her secretary Grace were attacked at the University of Texas at Dallas. A transgender individual allegedly assaulted them with a metal bike lock before fleeing the scene on a bicycle.
