MRCTV’s Dan Joseph visited George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, on September 11 in an effort to back up his suspicion that Millennials don’t exactly know about the threat of ISIS.
He asked students to sign a petition calling for President Obama to “support ISIS” and help the terrorists instead of launching airstrikes against them.
Though Joseph did engage some seemingly clueless students and recruited about 12 signatures for his petition in about an hour, the emotional and rather knowledgable responses from several students point to the fact that Millennials are in fact wising up about the terror threat coming from Iraq and Syria.
“What the f–k, man!” one angry student exclaimed. He said the reason that some students agreed to sign the petition is because “people … don’t watch the news and they vote uneducated.”
“You would think that people would understand what’s going on in the world instead of going to a f–king ballot box and casting their vote,” the student, who said he is a member of the U.S. military, continued.
Another student asked Joseph if he was “serious.”
“What if it was your family that was being killed?” he wondered, referring to the beheadings of two American journalists and one British aid worker at the hands of ISIS militants.
“We want to tell President Obama, instead of fighting ISIS, to support them, and then maybe they’ll be nicer,” the MRCTV reporter explained to one female student.
“I don’t think so,” she responded plainly, walking away.
Perhaps the most vocal and passionate student confronted Joseph at the end of the video.
“How can you stand out here and do that when they beheaded two Americans on live TV,” said the young man. “That’s f–king disgraceful. … You should be ashamed to even live in this country.”
Joseph’s video comes just days after the Young America’s Foundation released its own clip showing students at George Washington University struggling to remember 9/11 and answer questions about ISIS.
