GEORGE MASON STUDENTS PROTEST DECISION TO HOST YOUNGKIN AS COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

They don't even go to the university, so we have to understand, who are these voices that want to speak for us? They don't speak for us. We here in Virginia will make these decisions, and this is about life. You are going to find yourself in situations, soon-to-be-college graduate, that you don't like. And you know what we have to do? We tolerate everyone. This is America. We tolerate those views we don't like. You live your life, and you let everybody else live theirs.
