In the face of a strong police presence, dozens of protesters shouted and held signs outside the University of Minnesota building where conservative commentator Ben Shapiro was speaking Monday night.
Police blocked off roads near the St. Paul Student Center and U Police Chief Matt Clark was one of about a dozen officers at the scene.
Many protesters held up signs and shouted “Ben Shapiro has got to go” or “Racist, sexist, anti gay, Ben Shapiro go away.”
“We are here to support the community who feels threatened,” said Jackson Bianchi with the Students for a Democratic Society.
