“It’s no secret that college campuses are bastions of liberalism.” - Chapter 9 of #leadingamerica is all about my experience as a conservative speaker on college campuses, below is an excerpt. Get your copy at the link in my bio to read more. 

In 2019, I was invited to Northeastern Illinois University to participate in a discussion with former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile. To say I wasn’t greeted with a warm welcome is an understatement. Multiple NEIU students and faculty members penned an open letter to the university president, demanding that she cancel my appearance at the school. Apparently, my mere presence was “an insult to all NEIU students and employees who are members of groups targeted with violence and vitriol by the Trump administration. . . . It would be an affront to humanity to host Spicer at NEIU. We urge you to withdraw the invitation immediately.” 

There’s a lot to unpack there. “Targeted by violence”? You can disagree with policies. That’s what makes our country great. But to claim they are being targeted by violence is insane. There is a new phenomenon whereby if someone on the left does not like the views of someone else, they don’t feel “safe” anymore. Seriously. I have heard this over and over that my mere presence on a college campus makes students feel unsafe. 
The letter prompted protests before and during the event and included an audience member storming the stage shouting “shut it down,” among other far worse chants and expletives. While I had been on several college campuses where people had chanted and screamed, this was the first time I had participated in an event where an individual rushed the stage. Thankfully, security immediately subdued the student and escorted him out of the facility.
