BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- Another conservative speaker plans to come to UC Berkeley.

VIDEO: Trump supporter pepper sprayed at Milo protest

A Trump supporter was giving her statement to ABC7 News when someone pepper sprayed her on camera. Violent protests moved through downtown Berkeley Wednesday night after an event featuring Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled.

It was announced Wednesday that the author and political commentator Ben Shapiro is scheduled to speak at Cal on Sept. 14.

Two other conservative speakers never had the chance to talk.

Milo Yiannopoulos' speech was canceled when protests turned destructive. And Ann Coulter's speech was scrapped after University officials said there was no secure venue for her.
