I believe his complaint that Berkeley was being partisan.
After decades of institutionalized discrimination how could anyone even remotely defend whats been transpiring where the purported free speech movement began.
It is a victory for censorship, a victory for silence through fear and intimidation.
Good for you all. *applause*
A complaint about partisanship is a complaint about partisanship. When you single out one "side" from the other and use catch phrases and buzzwords, you're being partisan.

Yeah partisan.
When one side singles out another side.
See Berkeley.

You can't really believe that, right?
It's not their safety they are worried about. It's the safety of the students.
If they did this to
"use that to promote their own brand while convincing their followers that fellow citizens are the enemy"
Then it would make more sense to give the speech and record the riot.
I feel like your spending all your energy trying to defend something that should not be defended, instead of rationally thinking about the situation.
I don't mean that disrespectfully, either.

Don't forget that the mayor of Berkley is a supporter of BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), which is violent leftist cult.
Berkley Mayor Publically Belongs to Violent Leftist Group

Right!
Berkeley really has a 'concern' for safety.
Between the rioting, assault, and destruction of private property.
Maybe them Berkeley folks should start making their students attend anger management classes before graduating with honors in 'white privilege'.

With that logic, it was MLK's fault he got jailed in Birmingham. Why would he go to a racist city to speak about racism? He should have went somewhere else.
