A person at UC Berkeley apparently infuriated by a Turning Point USA table display criticizing gender transitioning aggressively poured tomato juice all over the group’s fliers and posters and used vulgarity and physical aggression against its members on Wednesday, several videos posted on social media show.
It is unclear if the vandal — a white person who appears to be in their 20s — is male or female, as they have a mix of feminine and masculine qualities; although the consensus among commenters is that it is a male dressed as a female.
Their target was a tabling display to promote a visit by Chloe Cole and Harrison Tinsley, who openly denounce the dangers of gender transitioning.
Videos show the person walk around the table and pour an entire bottle of tomato juice on various parts, including a large “kids can’t change their gender, change my mind” sign.
Other signs stated “He created them male and female and blessed them.”
“Are you worried I’m going to stain your fucking signs as you lie to people, aw so sorry,” the activist said while throwing the red juice all over the display. “I fucking tried to talk to you assholes. Enjoy getting this stain out.”

“Can you please not do that,” one student asked, according to a video posted on Instagram.
“Why,” the vandal replied.
“Because this is our stuff,” the TPUSA member said.
“Behold the tolerant left,” one student joked as the vandal stormed off.
Addressing the incident on X, Cole posted: “Just got tomato juice thrown at our booth at
@UCBerkeley with @TPUSA. He drenched a chapter member and his MacBook. You still canât change your gender, and you canât expect me to believe someone like this is mature enough to make life-changing decisions.”
The video posts of the incident have drawn much attention, including from conservative pundit Megyn Kelly, who posted on X: “Fake women get upset when the real ones say whatâs true.”
“These same people who throw tantrums over open discussion are being expected to have the mental faculties to make life-changing choices,” added Cole.

Police were called to the scene. The “change my mind” sign, although damaged and stained by the juice, remained up.
“It was unhinged but the sign still stands and you still cannot change your gender,” Cole posted.
