At a March 2019 CPAC event, President Trump expressed concern that a conservative activist had been violently punched while conducting grassroots mobilization activities at UC Berkeley.

While recruiting students for the organization, Williams was accosted by another man, pushed, and punched in the face. Police arrested the alleged attacker a week later.
At the CPAC event, President Trump invited Williams to the stage. Williams jumped to the podium, shook hands with the President and proceeded to give a brief address. He talked about his perception of liberal bias on American college campuses, highlighted the work that the Leadership Institute was carrying out in response, and pledged to keep supporting the President.
