An unidentified male was caught on camera harassing conservative students and attacking a pro-life table at a University of Iowa student engagement fair.<\/p>\n

According to Campus Reform<\/a>, the male first flipped over the Campus Republicans table before trying to attack the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter’s table. He then headed to the Students for Life table, where he became violent.<\/p>\n

Sophia Claus, the chapter president for Students for Life, told Campus Reform she watched him harass the other tables and prepared herself when he headed her way. \u201cOnce I saw the boy coming over, I just thought, \u2018I am not letting him flip this table,'” she said. But when Claus kept him from flipping her table over, he became violent.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce he was unsuccessful at flipping the table he started smashing it with his helmet,” she said. “I put my arms out trying to stop the helmet from hitting the table, but he just kept swinging it into my table and part of my hands. He then tried flipping the table again, but I put my body on it once again trying to push it down.\u201d<\/p>\n
