At a Tuesday event at the University of Washington where Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was a liberal reporter and several other attendees, reportedly by Antifa members, were attacked.
As the writer, Jonathan Choe, and his security team attempt to flee, and a part of his team is later identified as having blood dripping down his face and throat in the aftermath of the invasion.
Choe and “his safety were attacked by people of ANTIFA near the anti- Israel camp at the University of Washington”, reported Frontlines, a media channel for TPUSA. ” Officers were called to the scene and are now investigating”.

Campus authorities “are active keeping the Turning Point USA function and other areas of school as safe as possible,” according to a statement from the University of Washington, according to a statement released to Forefront. We take any assault seriously, and UWPD may be investigating these occurrences, gathering remarks and digital images that may be available”.
According to several videos posted on social media, the assault was just one of a much larger set of melees in which alleged Antifa members have regularly jumped Kirk and TPUSA supporters. In some cases, it’s unclear who started throwing punches first and who is who is all involved in the fights.
Choe continued to report from the scene, telling X that” students leaving the Charlie Kirk event in Seattle were greeted by a mob of Antifa lunatics who flooded the Quad.” They engaged in numerous fights and carried weapons.

After a successful evening event and day of tabling, ANTIFA is trying to intimidate our attendees as the event wraps up, Kirk also made a comment on X. The university should deal with them right away because they are primarily non-students but who are forced to roam freely and bully the class for a reason.
One social media post claimed that some Kirk supporters attempted to make an apparent joke about a push-up contest between activists at one point.
