CNN and PBS host Christiane Amanpour stopped by the Harvard Kennedy School on Wednesday to deliver what was billed as a commencement addressed, but was really just a plea for the graduates to find the courage to fight back against nameless forces—but understood to be President Trump and people who support him—who are pushing America into a 1984 or Mussolinian state of affairs.
Amanpour began by alluding to Trump’s battles with Harvard and suggested people who support Trump are simply against education, “I am delighted to be invited to the Kennedy School of Government, to Harvard, which is leading the struggle and scoring significant gains in this current battle for academic freedom, and make no doubt about it, make no mistake about it, academics, education are on the front lines in the current struggle between the two halves of America.”
