‘The Gipper’ threw out Berkeley ‘street garbage’
(WND) – Radio host Michael Savage says it’s time to treat Donald Trump’s protesters the way Ronald Reagan did with UC Berkeley students in 1969 as governor of California.
Do you support Trump? Tell the world with this brand new bumper sticker: “DONALD TRUMPS THE REST”
“The Savage Nation” host told his audience on Monday that he is sick and tired of leniency shown to left-wing activists. He said America could learn a lesson from Reagan by revisiting how he squashed the “People’s Park” protests in the late ’60s.
“He was a law-and-order candidate who stood up to the street garbage,” said Savage. “There were no more riots in Berkeley after that. The professors shut their mouths and went back to their classrooms to molest the students. And the street protesters disappeared all of a sudden. The ‘We shall overcome’ crowd suddenly fled when there was a little reaction from the police.”
“Those people told you for days in advance that if the university sought to go ahead with that construction they were going to physically destroy the university,” Reagan said. “What is to negotiate? All of it began the first time some of you who know better, and are old enough to know better, let young people think that they have the right to choose the laws that they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.”
Berkeley was casting Reagan as a villain for restoring order as late as 2004.
“This was not a happy relationship between the governor and the university – you have to acknowledge it. As a matter of Reagan’s honest convictions but also as a matter of politics, Reagan launched an assault on the university,” said Neil Smelser, who was a Berkeley professor of sociology at the time, UC Berkeley News reported June 8, 2004.
