The 60 Minutes correspondent never mentioned Trump by name, but his call to defend democratic institutions was apparently too much for the MAGA crowd to handle.
Reminds me of the time PBS spent July 4 posting the Declaration of Independence piece by piece, and Trump supporters got mad.
And finding out what PBS was doing didn’t change their minds. Nothing does. They have to be victims; that way they can “retaliate” as viciously as they like.
Yes, it was inspiring, wasn't it? I really appreciate the effort to be encouraging, a lot of liberal/lefty commentary I read these days leans more towards "We're fucked."
I was born autism spectrum disordered in 1948. In 1964 we studied 1984 and my classmate first learned I was not a deaf mute. I read Orwell and understood Orwell's Stalin: "All animals are created equal; but some are more equal than others."
I was born under the Laws of Rome and Canterbury. They say Jews aren't even people.
We read 1984 in 1964 in my English Protestant High School like the one Kamala, Captain Kirk and Leonard Cohen attended in Montreal, Quebec , Canada. I insisted 1984 was biblical allegory not Sci-fi or fantasy fiction
My Nashville born wife and I will die FIRST CLASS CITIZENS in Quebec, Canada under Bill21 that makes all citizens first class and makes healthcare, education and welfare human rights. Bill 21 affirms Gender is analog, race is the double oxymoron homo sapiens sapiens and Noah is ancient myth not historical fact.
Parker, you have smart followers. All comments are “spot on”. Thank you for bringing Scott’s speech to our attention. It was fantastic. Yes he will be fired! This is how things are now. The US is a disgrace.
In my time, a commencement address by George Wald had a similar unexpected resonance. <https://www.elijahwald.com/generation.html>. Strange how these can break through.

"On second thought, we've decided kings and tyrants ain't so bad after all."
Parker, thank you so much I found Scott's speech inspirational. I can't help but wonder if he will be fired by CBS. It was a very brave speech.

This is a great speech which should inspire these graduates to go forward in life with courage and conviction.
Holy Smokes. That is one for the ages. Thank you for publishing the text.

Sex is for recreation, procreation and remuneration between consenting adult hominids and is not for subjugation, humiliation or exploitation.
America's MAGA half is an abomination and has led to American degradation.
Whom Jupiter sought to destroy he first made mad.
The gods have not blest America.
These are the same people that were upset at the Statue of Liberty. Nobody should take any of these people seriously.
