You know, these fucking pussies don't impress me with their rudeness one bit.
Pence sticks with faith and family, as Notre Dame grads walk out on his commencement speech
Published May 21, 2017 Fox News
Vice President Mike Pence forged ahead Sunday with his University of Notre Dame commencement speech as some in attendance walked out, encouraging the graduates to keep their religious faith, value the freedom of speech and saying “the future is yours.”
Pence, a former Indiana governor, was the most recent college campus speaker to face backlash or protest from students, faculty and others over ideological differences.
He was invited to speak at the Catholic school, in South Bend, Ind., after students and faculty objected to a prospective invitation to President Trump, who would have been the seventh U.S. president to give the commencement address.
Trump has faced harsh criticism for his anti-Islamic rhetoric during his presidential campaign and for his administration's efforts to impose a travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries.
Pence didn’t acknowledge the planned walkout, in which dozens of students and family members reportedly left at the start of his speech and were booed.
But he alluded to clashes at campuses elsewhere that have derailed appearances by controversial speakers, such as conservative firebrand Ann Coulter at the University of California at Berkeley.
"This university (Notre Dame) is a vanguard of the freedom of expression and the free exchange of ideas at a time, sadly, when free speech and civility are waning on campuses across America," Pence said.
The rest of Pence’s speech also focused on faith and conservative principles like protecting Notre Dame and other groups from having to go against their religious beliefs to offer birth control coverage to employees under ObamaCare.
“Just as Notre Dame has stood strong to protect its religious liberty, I’m proud that this president just took steps to ensure that this university and the Little Sisters of the Poor could not be forced to violate their consciences to fully participate in American civic life,” Pence said.
All I have to say about this is that it really reflects badly on the institution of Notre Dame and that these little assholes and their families can kiss my ass.
