Outrage at Stanford as Mike Pence Plans Campus Speech on 'woke Left'
College Republicans at Stanford University are concerned about attempts by "leftists" to undermine a visit by Vice President Mike Pence. But two protest organizers say they aren't looking for a confrontation.
The planned protests are the latest in what's been a contentious effort to bring the former Trump administration vice president and prominent social conservative to the the university in Palo Alto, California. The university's Undergraduate Senate had earlier blocked the Stanford College Republicans' request for funding to bring Pence to campus out of safety and other concerns, but the group later prevailed, according to The Stanford Daily.
"Resistance to our event is completely futile, and we look forward to having a successful event," the Stanford College Republicans said on Twitter Tuesday. The group has also complained on Twitter that "leftists have been ripping down our flyers in a desperate attempt to undermine the event" and its members have been "plastering the entire campus."
Pence's event speech is titled "How to Save America from the woke Left."
