"I must be doing something right because woke mobs are coming after me for being a champion of eliminating radical DEI scams on college campuses. So bring it on."
"What we saw, with hundreds of people coming together, yelling and chanting, is a mob."
"I've never seen a commencement speaker coming to fight the honorees. What are we doing here? She has even created an ad to incite the controversy."
"Out of an abundance of caution for safety and with careful consideration, the university has decided to move in a different direction."
South Carolina State University canceled the commencement speech by Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette following student protests. Students opposed her support for Trump and her stance against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Evette labeled the protesters as 'woke mobs' and used the controversy to promote her gubernatorial campaign. University President Alexander Conyers stated the decision was made for safety reasons. The situation raised questions about the appropriateness of a speaker who incites controversy at a graduation ceremony.
