Lucian Wintrich

Lucian Wintrich, White House correspondent for the far-right, pro-Trump website Gateway Pundit, was arrested by UConn police Tuesday evening after a walk-out of his event, “It is OK to be white,” gave way to an altercation.

“I can confirm that the speaker has been arrested and he is in police custody,” said UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz. “There are no other arrests and no injuries.’’

Reitz said Wintrich was held by UConn police and will be charged Tuesday evening. For one hour, about 100 students waited outside the Andre Schenker Lecture Hall to see Wintrich brought out by police. When he was eventually brought out a back entrance and placed into a police cruiser, many of the students chased after it.

Wintrich was subdued after he allegedly pursued a woman and grabbed her after she took papers off the podium. The incident occurred shortly after Wintrich spoke before a boisterous and hostile crowd.

1. Im torn between protesting these assholes

Or just stop giving them attention because they thrive on it. Usually only a handful of students show up to actually listen to their speeches.
