Susan Wild: “Thankfully, the protests on the campuses in my district…”

“While I understand that free speech is a critical tenet of our democracy, I think we all agree on that. I do worry about whether the campus protests we've seen this year veer into hate speech. Thankfully, the protests on the campuses in my district, Pennsylvania seven, which hosts a number of wonderful schools like Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College, Lafayette College, and so forth, the protests have been peaceful and respectful. and I'm deeply appreciative of our students for that. Let me also say that I commend the restraint shown by some of you in not creating a police state on your campuses.” (00:00–02:18)
