Princeton professor calls Trump 'a racist, sexist meglomaniac' during commencement speech at Hampshire College

The Daily Mail reports:
A Princeton University professor giving a commencement speech at Hampshire College in Massachusetts accused President Donald Trump of being a 'racist, sexist megalomaniac'.

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, who is an assistant professor in African American studies at Princeton, delivered a roughly 20 minute speech to the graduating class of 300 students at the private liberal arts college on May 20.

'The president of the United States, the most powerful politician in the world, is a racist, sexist megalomaniac,' Taylor said roughly two minutes into her speech.


'It's not a benign observation, but has meant tragic consequences for many people in our country -- from terror-inducing raids in the communities of undocumented immigrants to his disparaging of refugees in search of freedom and respite.'

Taylor, who is the author of 'From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation', suggested that political activism is the reason why the federal court has struck down Trump's executive orders that restrict immigration from several Muslim-majority countries.

'When Trump's first illegal Muslim travel ban was attempted, thousands of ordinary people flooded the airports around this country,' she said.

'And because of those protests, and the defiance they represented, that ban was stopped -- not once, but twice.
Comrade Taylor is one angry Marxist.... Why should taxpayers be funding Comrade Taylor via Pell grants and student loans? As you can guess Comrade Taylor isn't a big fan of the rule of law. Attention Republicans on Capital Hill when you tax an institution that employees a Comrade Taylor: you'll probably get less Comrade Taylor's .
