Woke University of Michigan student goes ballistic on right-wing activists sparking arrest in campus blowout

A woke University of Michigan student was arrested after she was caught on camera attacking right-wing activists ahead of a contentious United States senate race in the state.

The unidentified student was seen confronting two men sitting at a table with a sign reading ‘Is Islam Compatible with the West?’ on Sunday, and clapping directly in one of the men’s faces, causing him to recoil and put his hand to his face.

‘This is f***ing stupid, bro,’ she said in the video, before pestering the man about whether he had a permit to be on campus while he tried to end the conversation.

He could then be seen turning to a campus police officer off-camera, informing the cop that she smacked him – which she promptly denies even as others inform her they have the entire incident on camera.

‘But I have several f***ing eyewitnesses, I didn’t do f***ing s**t,’ the student insists, saying that the right-wing activist was ‘victimizing himself as a fully-grown man.’

Soon, the woman starts railing against ‘anti-Muslim people here who want to say I put a f***ing hand on him, bro.

‘You can see me put a hand on you,’ she then said as she approached a woman standing nearby, who was later identified as Lizzy Benichou, a conservative influencer under the Instagram handle @basedinmalibu.

The student calls Benichou a ‘b***h’ as those around her start to make comments about her attire, saying that she would have to cover up if she were in Iran.

At that point, Benichou got involved, asking another bystander if they thought she would be allowed to wear her short-sleeved black shirt in Iran.

The comment apparently left the woman irate, prompting her to push Benichou to the ground.

A police officer could soon be seen running up to the student and forcing her to the ground as he handcuffs her, telling her not to resist and to ‘stop fighting back.’

But the student seemed incredulous that she was being arrested, as she asked the police officer: ‘What the f**k are you going to do to me? Because I hit a dumb a** b***h in the face?’

After hearing the snide remark, somebody off screen could be heard telling the student: ‘You can’t attack somebody because you don’t like their politics.’

Soon, a police van could be seen pulling up to the scene, and another police officer started to assist the first cop in leading the student to the van.

Yet even as she was being escorted to the police vehicle, the woman doubled down on her attack.

‘I’d do it again every f***ing time, you stupid f***ing c**t,’ she told Benichou. ‘I should’ve f***ing killed you when I had the chance.’

‘Are you kidding me?’ one of the bystanders then asked.

‘No I’m not kidding you,’ she replied, prompting one woman to say: ‘You’re sick, you’re sick. Go to a mental hospital b***h.

‘I’ve already been to a mental hospital,’ the student hit back. ‘And I’ll go again if it means killing you.’

In a statement to the Daily Mail, University of Michigan police said officers were responding to an unpermitted event on campus just before 5pm when the chaotic scene unfolded.

‘As the group was packing up to leave, officers witnessed a University of Michigan student assault a woman not affiliated with the university,’ campus police said.

‘The student was taken into custody, processed and released pending warrant authorization. No injuries were reported.’  

Benichou has since also released a statement on social media, saying she was ‘physically assaulted simply for showing up and exercising my First Amendment rights.

‘Political violence has NO place in the United States of America,’ she said.

‘I am incredibly grateful to the law enforcement officers who acted immediately to protect me. I am now in a safe location receiving care and I am going to be OK.

‘If the intention was to intimidate or silence me, it will not work,’ Benichou said. 

In a video posted shortly before the attack, Benichou said she and another conservative influencer, Emily Saves America, were on campus asking students who they were voting for. 

Michiganders are choosing between leftist Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Representative Mike Rogers in the US Senate election on Tuesday.

In an unusual move on Sunday, Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens announced that she was supporting Rogers over her party’s candidate.

Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel has since made it clear that Stevens is no longer welcome in the party as he compared her endorsement of Rogers to a high school clique fight and said she ‘abandoned’ her constituents at the worst possible moment.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said he would welcome Stevens to the GOP.
