“We’re being a little bit too tolerant” said GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson of the recent college student protests on The Kelly File Wednesday night.
Carson was of course referring to the protests that started at the University of Missouri following the walkout by school staff and a strike by the football team that led to the University president’s resignation over cried that he didn’t do enough to combat racism on campus.
The show began with the breaking news announcing “new evidence that what started with a campus protest in Missouri, may be spreading to more colleges and universities” referring to subsequent protests that had popped up on the campuses at Yale and Ithaca College.
Carson, a Yale alum, responded to Kelly’s probing about today’s youth who run to “safe spaces” when they feel something has “triggered” their beliefs and offended them.
