“Last week, anti-fascist protesters at a university in California even shut down a panel on – that's right – free speech.” 

That’s right. This actually happened and it happened because the Berkeley event was a platform that sought to use  ‘free speech’ as a means for expressing white supremacy. So yes it was vigorously protested by anti-fascists. It is entirely revealing of Wente’s fascistic inclinations that she would choose to overlook this fact in her defence of ‘free speech’. 

Here’s a thought that might offend the tender ears of those on the right who so vigorously defend free speech: the far right has constructed an entire fascist social movement around the notion of free speech. Those who organised the event at Berkeley did so because they knew it would be shut down thus affirming the sense of victimhood that fuels the right (including Wente). FS is never the point of these events. The only purpose they serve is to cultivate  white victimhood.
