[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So dumb.  “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue”’

The government isn’t saying that.  No one is forcing Harvard to do anything.  They have a billion dollar endowment and can do as they please.

What they can’t do is foster an educational atmosphere of harassment and expect the taxpayers to finance it.[/quote]

Trump wants to limit free speech that he doesn't like. Does anyone remember, "there were very fine people on both sides?" He had no problem with the Proud boys and their vile "free speech".[/quote]
You're propagandized and don't even know it. Don't quote things you hear on CNN. Listen to the full uncut speech and you'll see that's not what he was talking about. [/quote]

Fact:  In a news conference after the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters. He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally." <--- from the full uncut speech

Given that virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right rally concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, Trump's statement did in fact amount to him saying that neo Nazis and white nationalists are "very fine people."

The anti-semitism angle is just bizarre for this administration, and reminds me of the exact propaganda Putin used. Putin claimed that he was invading Ukraine to liberate them from their Nazi oppressors. Despite the fact that Zelensky is Jewish. Trump seems to be following the same dictator playbook and borrowing similar propaganda tactics.[/quote]
