Leftist protesters interrupted a College Republicans meeting Sunday night in the library at the University of California, Santa Cruz, calling members “fascists,” “racists” and “white supremacists” during a lengthy demonstration that ended in three arrests.

Though the College Republicans initially offered to speak to the protesters, those demonstrating refused to leave and demanded instead the Republicans end their meeting. One person in attendance, a Democrat, stood up, however, and defended his right-leaning fellow students.

“I immediately stood up and confronted them,” Phil Leonard told Fox News. “I was the only one to stand up and confront them.”

The school’s director of news and media relations, Scott Hernandez-Jason, expressed disappointment in the episode.

“It’s unfortunate and disappointing that a few students disrupted their meeting and refused repeated requests to leave,” Hernandez-Jason told Fox News in an email. “UC Santa Cruz vigorously supports our students’ rights to peacefully and lawfully assemble.”

The demonstration came about when a far left activist found out the College Republicans were meeting on the ground floor of the library – in a small rectangular room with one entrance and bad cell service – and posted the details to a UCSC Facebook group with nearly 20,000 members, Leonard said.

“They put out a dog whistle for any crazy or deranged person to stop white supremacy,” Leonard said.

A core group of three protesters, joined by a few others, showed up, shouting chants such as “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!”

Leonard said one protester looked at him and told him: “Your existence is a disturbance to every marginalized person in this country.” –> Read the full story at FoxNews.com!
