Leftist Vandal Steals CSULA YAF's Trump Flag, Flees on Foot

Leftist Vandal Steals CSULA YAF’s Trump Flag, Flees on Foot

Once again, leftists on the campus of California State University-Los Angeles have proven just how limited their idea of ‘tolerance’ can be. While the CSULA Young Americans for Freedom Chapter was tabling Thursday afternoon to promote their upcoming campus lecture with Rachel Campos-Duffy, a leftist snatched the chapter’s Trump flag and took off sprinting in an attempt to flee with the flag. Kevin Amador, secretary for CSULA YAF, wasn’t going to let that happen and gave chase. In the video shot by Kevin while he chased the thief down, you’ll see the vandal running headlong across campus with the YAF chapter’s flag clutched in his hand, shouting “F**k Donald Trump!” repeatedly. Another member of CSULA YAF, Derek Peyton, joined the chase and demanded the thief drop the flag. Before the thief slipped into a building, Amador boldly called the vandal out for what he was: an intolerant individual who does not stand for free speech. CSULA YAF reported the crime to campus police who took statements and is investigating the matter. This is not the first time CSULA YAF has had their property vandalized. Last year ahead of their lecture with “The Factual Feminist” Christina Hoff Sommers, vandals tore down and defaced their posters advertising the event.
