Tucker Carlson was invited by a student to speak at his high school alma mater, the St. George’s boarding school in Middletown, RI, but he says the administration first gave him the runaround, then flat-out said he was not welcome.

Ever notice, “comments are disabled” appearing more often?
If they’re talking about such fear then the problem isn’t him but the violent people making threats.
Bowing to their whims isn’t American.
The liberal elites who are the alumni, parents, and teachers hate Tucker, are embarrassed by the connection to him, and there would have been a negative backlast from other liberals if they had allowed him.
Fear of words and ideas is not the stuff of liberty. That said, I am disgusted with drag queens who entertain children in public libraries.

Who would be killing people? Leftists or those on the right?
It would not be the latter.
Submitting to terrorism and terrorists breeds more terrorism and terrorists.

He should rent out a venue close to the school and invite all the students.
They should relenquish their status as a school and adopt socialist-baby-sitting-indoctrination as their mission.

All this being surmised from what?
Some mean tweets?
Hard to believe that part of the country is where our rebellion began. Now it’s a Mecca of cowards and commies. RI makes MA, and CT look like OK.
“All this being surmised from what?

The really worrisome aspect to this, even if the threats are made up, is the polarization this indicates. If leftists and traditional citizens are that far apart, how can CW2 not be on the near horizon?
