A MAGA influencer claims he was attacked again in California — this time on a college campus by a masked transgender person who was seen throwing a bucket of mystery liquid on him as he spoke with two students.
In a video posted on Instagram, Ryley Niemi and “Off The Record USA” were shown on the University of California Santa Cruz campus speaking with students when a black-clad person he claimed was transgender tossed the liquid and ran off.
People in the background could be heard clapping and cheering after the attack.
One person shouted, “Get the f—k off this campus” while others yelled obscenities at Niemi as the influencer took off running to confront the suspect.
The incident echoed an encounter last month between Niemi and a gay couple in West Hollywood about adoption rights.
Their conversation erupted into violence soon after Niemi said, “gay men are statistically much more likely to commit child molestation,” and asked if the two men had paid $50,000 to a woman to get her pregnant.
One of the men charged at Niemi, hitting him several times on the back of the head and pushing him into the camera, video of the confrontation showed.
Niemi has since launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking support.
“Ryley was physically assaulted, and the situation became serious enough that over a dozen emergency responders arrived at the scene,” the fundraising message read.
“We are currently taking the appropriate steps to pursue justice through the proper legal channels,” it added.
The couple at the center of the run-in claimed that Niemi and his show exploited their story to chase viral fame and internet clout.
David and Anthony Vullin allege that Niemi and “Off The Record” came to their neighborhood to rile people up.
“When someone inserts themself into a specific community with the intention of triggering people, it’s not freedom of expression. It’s exploitation,” David Vullin told CNN.
A booking log from the West Hollywood Sheriff station showed that David Vullin was arrested and charged with a felony for “vandalism with loss valued equal or greater than $400.”
The California Post reached out to Niemi and UC Santa Cruz for further comment.
