Betsy DeVos Booed At Graduation Ceremony (VIDEO)

BETSY DEVOS WAS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT
COOKMAN UNIVERSITY, A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE IN
FLORIDA.
OF COURSE THERE WILL BE STUDENTS AGAINST HER SPEAKING.
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HER STANCE ON ISSUES CONSIDERING
STUDENT LOAN DEBT AND PRIVATIZING EDUCATION.
APPARENTLY THEY KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HER.
THAT IS ALWAYS
HILARIOUS TO ME.
JUST LET HER GIVE THE SPEECH.
WE HAVE A SHORT VIDEO SHOWING YOU WHAT THE SCENE WAS LIKE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND WE WILL DISCUSS IT.
>> LATER TODAY I WILL HAVE THE HONOR OF VISITING THE DOCTORS
HOME AND PAYING MY RESPECTS AT HER GRAVESITE.
I AM MOVED BY
WORDS IN HER LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.
SHE DESCRIBED WHAT
SHE HOPED HER LEGACY WOULD BE.
THE BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN
TESTAMENT CITED LOVE, HOPE, AND A THIRST FOR EDUCATION AS THE
IDEAL SHE WANTED PEOPLE TO EMBRACE IN HER MEMORY.
>> MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE CONTEXT.
DONALD TRUMP LAST FRIDAY SEEM TO SIGNAL THAT HE WAS GOING TO CUT
A KEY FUNDING SOURCE FOR SCHOOLS JUST LIKE THIS ONE.
YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE MIGHT BE A LITTLE UPSET.
ANYWAY, TO
BE
HONEST HE IS AN IDIOT SO HE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HE IS
DOING.
NO IDEA IF HE MEANT THAT OR IF HE ACCIDENTALLY SAID THE
WRONG THING.
ON SUNDAY THEY FLIP-FLOPPED AND PUT OUT A
STATEMENT SAYING THEY HAVE UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HIS REAL POSITION
IS?
NO.
NEITHER DO I OR YOU.
NEITHER DOES HE.
HE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.
CAN HE CUT FUNDING ANYWAY?
>>OF COURSE HE CAN.
OF COURSE HE WILL.
WHEN IT COMES TO BETSY
DEVOS A LOT OF THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION FOCUSED ON WHAT SHE
DID IN MICHIGAN WITH TURNING PUBLIC SCHOOLS INTO CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS ENDED UP FAILING SIGNIFICANTLY.
OF COURSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED.
THE ISSUE WITH BETSY
DEVOS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT SHE CAN DO TO OUR PUBLIC GRADE SCHOOLS,
IT'S ABOUT THE IMPACT SHE HAS ON COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
I'M
IN FAVOR OF FREE SPEECH.
I STOOD IN FAVOR OF ANN COULTER GIVING A
SPEECH AT UC BERKELEY.
BUT THIS IS A COMMENCEMENT, THIS IS NOT A
SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE SHARING IDEAS.
PEOPLE ARE
GRADUATING AND CELEBRATING.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT
THAT BETSY DEVOS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPEAK, THAT IS FINE ON A
COLLEGE CAMPUS JUST NOT DURING A COMMENCEMENT.
ALSO WHAT SHE
REPRESENTS FUNDAMENTALLY DESTROYS OR EXACERBATES THE
PROBLEM WE HAVE WITH STUDENT LOANS AND COLLEGES.
ALREADY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WITH BETSY DEVOS HAS DONE AWAY WITH CERTAIN
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS FOR STUDENT LOANS.
THE INITIAL REGULATIONS
WOULD PROTECT STUDENT BORROWERS FROM THESE LENDERS AND THESE
COLLECTORS THAT GO AFTER THEM AGGRESSIVELY.
TRUMP COMES IN AND
SAYS I AM DOING AWAY WITH THAT.
SHE IS VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF
FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES.
SHE IS IN FAVOR OF THOSE COLLEGES, LET'S
DEREGULATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
SHE REPRESENTS EVERYTHING THAT
IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
WHAT I BE UPSET TO SEE HER IN MY
GRADUATION GIVING A SPEECH PRETENDING LIKE SHE CARES?
PRETENDING LIKE SHE'S GOING TO GO VISIT THE GRAVE OF THE
FOUNDER?
YEAH, SHE HAS NO BUSINESS BEING THERE AND ACTING
AS THOUGH SHE WANTS TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF THOSE
STUDENTS.
I'M GLAD THE STUDENTS ARE EXERCISING THEIR FREE SPEECH
AND BOOING HER WHEN SHE IS STANDING THERE LYING TO THEM.
>> I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF SHE DIDN'T THINK WHAT?
I AM JUST
TRYING TO REACH OUT AND TALK TO THESE FOLKS.
ALL THE POLICY
POSITIONS ANA LAID OUT IS WHY THEY ARE MAD AT HER.
HOW ABOUT
IF YOU MAYBE AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT GOT TOGETHER WITH
STUDENTS AND SAID WHAT IS IT YOU ARE UPSET ABOUT?
LET ME HEAR YOU
OUT.
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING, RIGHT?
THAT WOULD BE FREEDOM OF
SPEECH.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DEBATE, YOU CAN JUST HEAR THEM
OUT.
I KNOW SPEAKERS DON'T NORMALLY DO THAT.
YOUR POINT
ABOUT COMMENCEMENT, I KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO
CELEBRATE.
AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU DON'T WANT A CONTROVERSIAL
SPEAKER AT COMMENCEMENT.
BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GET VANILLA SPEAKERS.
>>HERE'S WHAT I PREFER A COMMENCEMENT.
KNOW SPEAKERS.
LET'S GO, LET'S MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES.
WE WANT TO GET HER
DIPLOMA AND GO.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING BETSY
DEVOS OR WHATEVER VANILLA POLITICIAN THEY WILL INVITE TO
PRETEND THEY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH.
>>THE LAST COMMENCEMENT I WENT TO WAS MY NEPHEWS AT
RUTGERS AND BUILD I SPOKE.
>>AWESOME.
I DON'T CARE.
I LOVE BILL NYE, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
I AM DONE WITH COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES.
I WOULD RATHER HEAR FROM THE ACTUAL STUDENTS THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT EITHER.
FINALLY THOUGH ON THE
BOOING, MY STANCE ON THAT IS I THINK BOOING IN THE BEGINNING IS
FINE.
BUT LET HER FINISH, AND I THINK THEY DID.
THEY MADE A
STATEMENT THAT THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR POLICIES.
AND
THEN THEY LET HER CONTINUE AND I THINK THAT IS RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
FINE.
IT'S LIKE THE EQUIVALENT OF AJIT PAI.
ESSENTIALLY DEREGULATING NET NEUTRALITY.
AND THEN HE COMES
HERE AND IS LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH YOU GUYS
AND EXPECT US TO PLAY PATTY CAKES WITH HIM.
NO PATTY CAKES
FOR AJIT PAI, NO PATTY CAKES FOR BETSY DEVOS.
>> THE GUY TRIED TO KILL NET NEUTRALITY.
WHAT I INVITE HIM TO
GIVE A SPEECH AT A YOUNG TURKS GRADUATION?
>>LIKE OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY?
GET OUT OF HERE.
I KNOW ABOUT HIS IDEAS, NOT INTERESTED.
>> PROBABLY NOT GETTING INVITED TO A TYT PARTY.
I WILL CONCEDE THAT POINT.
>> TAKE YOUR GIGANTIC REESES PEANUT BUTTER CUP, AND GET OUT
OF HERE.
>> WOW YOU REALLY KNOW THE LIFE OF PAI.
>> BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO BE COOL.
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU
COOL?
STANDING UP FOR THE PEOPLE.
