President Donald Trump spoke out against the campus left, praising a young conservative student who stood up to “radical mobs” trying to shut down a speech at a public university in New York this November.
At the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit on Dec. 21, Trump referred to a protest that disrupted and ultimately shut down a Binghamton University (BU) lecture given by Arthur B. Laffer, a revered economist and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
