Donald Trump threatens to withdraw federal funds from Berkeley University after Breitbart editor talk cancelledPolice say agitators smashed windows and started fires before Milo Yiannopoulos talk

Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw federal funds from the University of California at Berkeley after protesters caused a talk by the senior editor of Breitbart News to be cancelled.
Demonstrators hurled smoke bombs, started fires and smashed windows ahead of Milo Yiannopoulos scheduled visit on Wednesday.
If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS? the President tweeted. It was unclear how the threat would be carried out.

I don't think his tweet would read the same if protesters stopped a pro Palestinian speech from happening.
The white house supports white supremacy!
