  Speaker 1: commitment speaker at SC State University. Okay, bought the students
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of but she was scheduled to be the commissment speaker
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of SC State University with the students of SC State
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: University said man watch, Okay, let's go to CBS in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for the report police.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Well, honestly, she just doesn't align with our values here
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: South Carolina State University. She speaks against DEBI which every
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: HBC you honestly, every school benefits.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: From student government leaders and seniors saying their concerns focus
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: on whether the speaker reflects the values of the university community.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Students say commencement should be about a moment that reflects
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: their experience and their future. During a press conference Wednesday morning,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Lieutenant Governor Pamela Vett says she was invited months ago
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and plans to deliver a positive message.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: The college called and asked if I would be their
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: commencement speaker and was happy to do that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I'm always happy to share a positive message.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: She also called to end diversity, equity and inclusion, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: she also pushed back on criticism, pointing to what she
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: calls a broader issue on college campuses.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: We have to get rid of DEI and college campuses.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: We've got to get rid of in doctrination by professors
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: on college campuses.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: By ending tenure, she's no longer a commitment speaker. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I have zero problem with this. Okay, Why because commencement
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they should be all about the students. Okay, that's what
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: commencement ceremonies are ford to celebrate the students their accomplishment
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of graduating. It's about reflection for the students, closure for
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the students, the most importantly, recognition of their academic journey. Okay,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Commitment ceremonies honor the hard workers students are the personal
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sacrifices and students and the achievements of the students who
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: are now graduates. And it's also an opportunity for families
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and loved ones to share and the pride of the moment.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That moment does not need to be overshadowed by someone
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: who is in opposition to the values that these students
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: believe in. Okay, Lieutenant Governor. Lieutenant govern on the Pamela
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: evi Ittt has publicly opposed DEI programs. That's her right
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: as an American. But who in the hell would invite
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: someone who is against DEI to speak at an HBCU. Okay, Pamela,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, but when the Trump
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: administration attacks DEI, they are attacking HBCUs and HBCU students
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: as well. Okay, because without DEI, HBCUs aren't in shored
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: funding for infrastructure in student programs, they're access to top
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: employers are halted. Basically, DEI initiatives help, you know, close
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: these gaps that exist in regards to access to opportunities
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for these black students. Not to mention, they combat systemic
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: racism in hiring an education. All that progress black people
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have made rolled back because of your boy, and you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are in public opposition to DEI programs. Okay, that attack HBCUs,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But you want to come speak at an HBCU. That
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. Also, SC State University President
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Alexander Kanyas, why would y'all want that her views don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: politically align with the school's history, They don't align with
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: SC State's mission, They don't align with the history of Orangeburg.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Do I have to remind you of February eighth, nineteen
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: sixty eight? When students from SC State and Clapland were
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: protesting segregation, and after days of demonstration, law enforcement confronted
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: those students and let off shots, opened fire on a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: bunch of unarmed students to Orangeburg massacre. Those protests were
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: organized by SC State students. Okay, the confrontation happened near
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the campus grounds. Okay. Samuel Hammond, Junr. Who was killed
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was an SC State student. Henry Smith, who was killed
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was a se State student. Rest in Peaces Delano, Middleton
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: as well. I think he was in high school at
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the time. But dozens of SC State and Clapland students
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: were injured. Okay. The same spirit of those kids who
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: are out there protesting segregation in sixty eight, that was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the same spirit that we saw the past couple of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: days protesting against Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evatt in twenty twenty six.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what President Conye's was trying to say when
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he was speaking yesterday, because he seemed to be concerned
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: about how the students of SC State would be perceived.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Let's listen.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: We can't pull back what's out on social media. We
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: can't pull back what people think. But I certainly don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: want people to think that the students here at South
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Carolina State University, future educators, doctors, lawyers, attorneys, scientists, business owners,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: are thugs. I've made the decision to rescind the imitation
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: to the Lieutenant Governor to speak at your commencement in light.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Of the history in Oarsburg. I can understand the trauma
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that he may be feeling. I don't want to speak
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for him, but it sounds like something like the Orangeburg
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: massacres in the back of his mind. But let the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: record show protesting is not an act of terrorism, okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: but rather a constitutional right. Those kids at se State
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: exercise their right to peacefully protest. So anyone who looks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: at those kids as thugs, that says more about them
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: than it does those kids. Those are prib Proably, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: same people who called January sixth insurrectionist patriots will call
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of young black men and women at SE
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: State University protesting thugs in a woke mob. Oh yes,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Pamela Ever called him a woke mob.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Let's listen, well, I was at the White House today,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I heard about what's happening on the campus of SC
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: State University. Let's be clear facts Trump feelings. In the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: real world, President Trump and conservatives have done more for
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: HBCUs than any administration in history. I must be doing
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: something right because woke mobs are coming after me for
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: being a champion of eliminating radical DEI scams on college campuses.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So bring it on.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Just like President Trump, I'll never back down or bend
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: a knee to the woke radicals. I'm ending de high
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: on campuses.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Once and for all.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, the hellman's was heavy in that statement. Wipe the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: mayonnaise off your fingers. Okay. All she proved to me
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: with that statement is that SC State University made the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: absolute wrong choice to have heard the missment speaker, with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the absolute right choice in removing her. Okay, those young
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: men and women at SE State were one hundred percent
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: correct in their right to protest. They have the right
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to say who gets to represent their HBCU on its
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: biggest stage now, SC State, if you are looking for
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a new commencement speaker, look no further than one of
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: your own right there on campus. Nakira Nakira Marie. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: believe that's her name, and I watched this clip of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: her speaking like about four times yesterday. Let's listen.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I want to be clear about this. This is not
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a black and white issue. This isn't a political issue.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It's not a Democratic or Republican party issue.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: It's not about that. It's a morality issue. We're here,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: we've been here for four or five years, commencement.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: We should have someone who's going to celebrate us. How
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: can someone who goes against.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Everything that we stand for and believe in morally? Why
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: how can that person uplift me with in the real world?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: How can I don't feel supported?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It's nothing that she can say that will make me
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: feel encouraged to step out into this society, a society
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: where the America, in the country that I believe in,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: she don't have that same agenda.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: And I want to say something. Being conservative is.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Not it is you.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: That's all right, we all have our own political right.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: But she's explicitly said I am a Trump concern.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, if you believe in Trump, you support pedaphilia, you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: support niggotry.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: You support racism. What else pro pop police the.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Same police as killing our people the same And also
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: she also supports ice.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: We don't believe in that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: State has a history of an activist and being pro
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: ideam and standing up and believing and.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: What's rights say if you're looking for a mismis speaker
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: as she go. Now hear of Marie dropping the Cleves
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Moms from the care of marine Okay, Pamela Evit, If
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you had no idea why they didn't want you, she
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just told you. Okay. Also, you canrtry for to your
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: critics as a woke bob and double down on your
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: positions because all you did was further alienate students and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you're in force their concerns. And guess what concerns when
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: managed effectively, turn into actionable steps. And the students of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: SC State respectfully manage their concerns. And they told you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to get to step in. Please let Chelsea Handler give
