Students at Georgetown University deemed a quote from Barack Obama to be racist because they thought it was said by Donald Trump.
Campus Reform reporter Cabot Phillips went to Georgetown University and asked students how they felt about the quote, which they near universally condemned.
The quote was from Obama’s 2014 address about immigration. He had said, “we are a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. That’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that’s why we’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security.”
The students were told the quote came from “a president,” but not which one. This lead them to believe it had been said by Trump.
“I think that policy comes from a place of white American nationalism,” one said, before another added, “Donald Trump has embraced this rhetoric of racism and xenophobia that’s not beneficial to our country at all.”
After the students provided their commentary about the quote, they were played the video of Obama saying it during his speech.
“I thought it was the Trump administration that said something like that,” one student said, another added, “I didn’t expect it to be Obama… it never occurred to me that it could be him.”

Just imagine how stupid they’d be if college was free.
Wait - are you saying Trump hasn’t been in office for six years? /s
The worst part is that they are all Still useful idiots.
Not a single flicker of understanding.
Attempting to wake the woke.
Propaganda works unfortunately.
Sounds like the 'university' is cooking the acceptance books with the idiot chldren of DC swells. Shame on Georgetown...

They are good little Obamajugend.
The Obama Youth were indoctrinated for 8 years in schools starting in 2009 with songs cheering Fearless Leader, Barack Hussein Obaam Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmmmm.
So now they are in college and something that was said 5 years ago, as these college students were in High School, wasn’t a concern. They were politically indoctrinated but not politically aware. They weren’t watching the news. They weren’t watching the debates. They weren’t watching his speeches. They didn’t need to. They were “life longs fans” because it was unthinkable not to be.
“...it never occurred to me...”
Imagine how much never occurs to our ignorant, indoctrinated youts.
Imagine how much they get flat out wrong.
Imagine how few would believe the truth without a video showing it.
And their vote counts as much as mine.
LOL, true!
Stupid shallow liberals showcased...
