Hundreds are expected to watch conservative commentator Matt Walsh take the stage at UC Berkeley Thursday.

In the weeks leading up to this visit, Walsh took to Twitter claiming he planned to make the left even more upset by bringing his screening to Berkeley, using past protest of his ongoing college tour to promote his visit.
