Organizers of a scheduled talk at the University of Virginia (UVA) by Kellyanne Conway, former campaign manager and special counselor to former President Donald Trump, have met with repeated harassment and vandalism in recent days from unknown persons who do not want the event to proceed as scheduled or to draw significant attendance, the student group told The Epoch Times.

The talk, scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 29, is hosted by Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), who have put up posters around the UVA campus only to see them defaced, torn down, and covered with anonymous signs alluding to the events of Jan. 6.
