DESCRIPTION:Trump propagandist and former RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer will be 
 speaking at UC Berkeley on April 17th in Evans Hall.  Topic: How Media Bias 
 Threatens the Republic.\n\nThe campus College Republicans, a group of 
 Alt-Right provocateurs and extremists, have invited Sean Spicer to speak at 
 UC Berkeley. Spicer will speak in Evans Hall on the 17th of April. Spicer 
 was the chief strategist for the RNC leading up to the 2016 election, then 
 served as Trump's press secretary and communications director. According to 
 the press release for this event, Spicer will be giving a speech about 
 media bias against Trump, and "the threat" media criticism of Trump "poses 
 to our republic". This vague and open ended rhetoric against the press has 
 been, and continues to be, part of the Alt-Right playbook.\n\nSpicer spoke 
 at University of Massachusetts Amherst last November, having been invited 
 by the College Republican organization of that campus. The Amherst Graduate 
 Employee Organization (GEO) protested outside the event. Union members and 
 others also placed themselves in the audience to interrupt Spicer, singing 
 "Solidarity Forever", and questioning the speaker.\n\nBerkeley College 
 Republican events tend to draw in Alt-Right people from all over California 
 and other states. BCR has organized events with, or directly participated 
 in events with groups like Proud Boys, TP-USA, RAM, Identity Europa, and 
 others. Spicer will be speaking in the evening, but it is likely that 
 Alt-Right people will be wandering around Berkeley hours prior to the 
 event.\n\nTickets to see Sean Spicer at Berkeley are free and are available 
 online. Members of the public may also congregate outside Evans Hall.\n
