In a speech that went past two hours at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC 2019), President Trump invited Hayden Williams—the conservative activist who was assaulted last month at the University of California in Berkeley—on stage and said he will soon sign an executive order protecting free speech on college campuses.
“Today, I am proud to announce that I will be very soon signing an executive order requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research funds,” he announced to enthusiastic applause.
