Dozens of graduating students walked out of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) on Saturday after Gov. Glenn Youngkin took the stage to deliver a commencement address.
Video of the Saturday morning incident shows throngs of graduates getting up from their seats and leaving the Greater Richmond Convention Center as the Republican governor began talking.
A few could be heard cheering the students on.
The governor, who also received an honorary doctorate of humane letters at the commencement ceremony, kicked off his speech with a shout-out to all the mothers ahead of Mother’s Day.
He did not acknowledge those leaving and carried on with his speech.
“The world needs your music,” Youngkin said to those students still in attendance. “You, all of you, will be the symphony. Make it a masterpiece.”
Many who left during Youngkin’s speech showed support for Palestinians amid Israel’s ongoing war in the Gaza Strip against Hamas terrorists.
Others held signs signaling their opposition to the governor’s education policies, per reporting from local outlet WRIC-TV.

Cancel VCU.
In the meantime, we are doing nothing.
Beyond ostracizing the mush for brain students what can ya do ?.....
His words now sound prophetic:
And let me say this in English
so you can understand what I am saying.[Interviewer: I have translation.]
No, I know you have translation,
but I just want to make sure
you get it right.There will come a day
that we will see far more
radical extremists and terrorists
coming out of Europe
because of a lack of decsion making,
trying to be politically correct
or assuming that they know
the Middle East, and they know Islam
and they know the others
far better than we do.And I'm sorry, but that's pure ignorance.
"Dozens" is nothing... Hope the rest of the people gave them the finger as they walked out.
It's the protesters that won't leave that are the most annoying.

Eff ‘em!
Nobody should hire them for anything, let them starve.

Dozens walked out.
HOW MANY STAYED???
Before or after diplomas were awarded ? if before, I’d keep ‘em.
Is Youngkin a RINO?
Ladies and Gentlemen, a round of applause for our departing Democrats. May they acquire enough Wisdom to come back as Republicans!
Sure enough...brain-dead, non-thinking, immature, selfish, spoiled brat anti-semites supporting terrorists.

VCU should mail the maggots’ diplomas out to random U.S. taxpayers since the little azhos don’t want them.
I can’t find the size of the class but there are just under 20,000 students. Those that make it all the way through are fewer, so let’s say about 2,500 in the graduating class. Other accounts say about 100 walked out. That’s 4%, so it’s the a-hole tiny minority that governs the news cycle
*Is Youngkin a RINO?*
No but he kissed butt at his town hall with every questioner.
