Kellyanne Conway said that violent protests at the University of California, Berkeley, are the latest example of unrest partially fueled by the media. UC Berkeley initiated a campuswide lockdown Feb 1 after demonstrations broke out against a scheduled speech there by Breitbart senior editor Milo Yiannopoulos. “What’s going on out there is what’s going on all across the country,” said Conway. “You have protesters who feel very emboldened,” added Conway, who served as Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign manager. "They’ve got media cameras following them; they give interviews. I don’t even know if they know what they’re protesting. Really, what is it, the free speech? Having someone on your campus who has a dissenting point of view or wants to present an alternative point of view?”
