College Students Oppose Obama Remarks When Told They're From Trump
Fox News ^ | 02/05/2018 | As Seen on Fox Friends

Did college students give Trump's State of the Union address a fair chance? Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips talked to students at NYC's John Jay College, reading them quotes from Trump's address. What they didn't know was the lines were actually taken from some of Barack Obama's addresses.

Students were given quotes (from Obama) about going after ISIS and countering China on trade. But most were opposed to the ideas when they thought they were coming from Trump.

"He doesn't think before speaking," one responded.

"The way he approaches things is very aggressive," another argued.

"He should mind his own business and focus on America," a student said.

Phillips said on "Fox & Friends" it appears many students are just "committed" to being against Trump no matter what. "They were quite shocked [when told the quotes were from Obama]," he explained, recalling one student even threatened to beat him up.

Phillips previously discussed the State of the Union address with NYU students, who came out against the speech even though it hadn't happened yet.

He said students face consequences on liberal-leaning campuses if they support Trump, including socially, in the classroom and even through violence.

"Students should be able to have a discussion about what the issues are and not feel pressured one way or the other," said Phillips.

The real funny part in this is the fact that those folks are “college students”.
Sounds like college entrance standards are....well, not standards at all.
Of course, the fact that the majority of college courses are not even fifth grade level helps.

They’re effing stupid. I graduated 09’ and my batch were mostly idiots but there were some like myself, who were smart and conservative enough to dissect thru the stupidity.

And all of those suckers... I mean parents, are paying thousands and thousands of dollars for their children to be made complete ignoramouses, incapable of independent, critical thought.

“And all of those suckers... I mean parents, are paying thousands and thousands of dollars for their children to be made complete ignoramouses, incapable of independent, critical thought.”

Unfortunately, those parents are likely ignorant themselves to send their kids there in the first place....

After the interview they probably ran to look up some real Trump quotes to hate on!

I have a website I am developing. It includes a “Who said that?” Area that does this.

Sadly, in some cases, you and I are paying for their education through out tax dollars that pay for financial need loans, and in some cases, grants/scholarships.

Truth, it's a helluva drug!...

When it is unpleasant and spoken about the "protected" classes, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
