Protesters walk out of Jerry Seinfeld's commencement speech

About 30 students, some holding a Palestinian flag, walked out of the Duke University commencement just after Jerry Seinfeld started his speech to the graduates. #CNN #News

"they just stood up, and walked out"! "They're walkouters Jerry! "Walkouters!"

[OhShiitakeMushrooms]

So where is the clip of the protesters walking out of Jerry Seinfeld speech?

[JFetch]

He has been trashing colleges for awhile now over political correctness. Why would he agree to do a commencement speech?

[windsongwong]

Choosing peace now in Palestine is not wrong.
Choosing to feed innocent children and women is not wrong.
Why is it anti semitism ?

"Whats the deal with genocide?"

Stop giving a rich country like Israel a $3b allowance, like a teenager with no responsibilities.

Israeli president said in the beginning that there's no uninvolved civilians in Gaza
Israel finance minister said that returning the hostages is not a priority

It was never about the hostages it's just meaningless revenge

[thecunninlynguist]

what's the deal with these protests and walking out on commencement? ~cue seinfeld theme~

[cococonlin]

Why is Duke using Jerry Seinfeld as commencement speaker? Aren't there any scholars worthy of that honor left in America? Celebrity makes good marketing. These prestige universities are businesses that enjoy the tax benefits of educational institutions.

No one who knows anything about Jerry Seinfeld likes him.

They walked about because of Unfrosted

[coleworld]

Soooo they won’t allow Pro-Palestinian speakers, but we’ll allow Pro-Israel speakers? Why not just stay away from people who proclaim support for either side? No need for any university to take a stand, honestly.

[GypsyRootsTarotTraveler]

Seinfeld is iconic as iconic as apple pie. So no soup for them who cares

[DeadSezSo]

To be fair, I'd walk out on Jerry Seinfeld too lol

[PerceivedREALITY]

More journalists have lost their lives in Gaza than in any other conflict. A crime against humanity.

[khyal_]

They couldn't handle his AIPAC noises

[retirosierra]

Since when is students walking out on something... news? It's what they do. The wonderful thing about this is, that so many went to search for Seinfeld's speech, it was great!

[active]

STANDING STRONG is what turned a grass roots movement of AMERICAN PATRIOTS into an INTERNATIONAL POWERHOUSE! They OWN the MAJORITY VOTE here at home with the rest of the WORLD on standby and they will NOT forget how the PEOPLE OF GAZA or themselves were treated! Ya'll BEST show RESPECT!

So Freedom of speech Jerry has His. Rights to speak to the ones who want to practice it

Seinfeld is championing free speech for comedians.He recommends not hesitating if comments might be offensive.
At the same time his wife bankrolled the violent attacks on ant-atrocity protesters.He also has no problem with offensives in Garza.
