President Donald Trump threatened to take away federal funding from the University of California at Berkeley the morning after violent, fiery protests prompted the cancellation of a speech by a provocative Breitbart News editor. Police canceled a Wednesday night speech by Milo Yiannopoulos ?amid an apparently organized violent attack and destruction of property,? according to a statement from the university. Yiannopoulos, known for making critiques on political correctness and being barred on Twitter for his role in the trolling of comedian Leslie Jones, was invited by the Berkeley College Republicans, the university said. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?? Trump said in a post Thursday morning on Twitter, ahead of his planned appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. Keep up with the best of Bloomberg Politics.
