The White House correspondent for a prominent right-wing website was arrested Tuesday night after allegedly accosting a woman at the University of Connecticut.
Lucian Wintrich, the White House correspondent and Washington, DC, bureau chief for the Gateway Pundit, was at the university to deliver a speech titled “It’s OK to Be White.” The speech drew a large group of protesters, who verbally sparred with Wintrich, before the blogger moved into the audience and grabbed a woman, the Hartford Courant reported. —Buzz Feed
The altercation was captured on video from multiple angles.

It's really unfortunate that some of the kids at @UConn felt the need to be violent and disruptive during a speech that focused on how the leftist media is turning Americans against each other. Tonight proved my point.

Adding irony to the entire ordeal, I was arrested for "Second Degree Breach of Peace." Apparently, "Peace" is anything far left students don't agree with. SAD! Plenty of great young conservatives in the audience – disappointed that the left wouldn't let this happen as planned.
