Wake up! This policy is from a left winger on the Alabama campus. The state is so solidly red that it would take a decade's worth of illegals headed nowhere but Alabama to make it change hue by a degree.
Everyone knows that Trump would be well received in Tuscaloosa period.
So this is about 1 of 2 things:
1. Alabama realizes that if students did protest that conservative donors would demand changes in the faculty at Alabama because it would royally piss them off.
2. The only way the left can get anything out of this visit is for some putz to issue such a statement so that the press has a reason to make it seem like Trump isn't well received even in the deep South.
That SOB Finebaum is making it the subject of his New York based show this afternoon and it is nothing more than to make it look like Trump has a crisis of support in Alabama.
This is a classic disinformation ploy. There was practically no threat of a poor reception in Tuscaloosa, and if a few students had raised an issue they would have been shouted resoundingly down by the other 80,000 at Bryant Denny. This is nothing more than a sinister twist on more Fake News.
And shame on anyone who takes this B.S. seriously.
Remember the way it is painted it means if there is no demonstration it is painted by the MSM as "repression of freedom of expression". And since no demonstration was the most likely outcome anyway, if there is one they will crop the Shout down that is sure to come and focus on the initial moment of the disruption and the carrying out of whoever it was that participated in it and claim some ideological coup for it. But most importantly it falsely puts in the public's mind that there was a problem or issue where in reality none existed.
I can't believe how damned stupid and naïve so many on this board can be.
This is day 1 stuff in Alinsky training for how to frame an event's media portrayal. And it is designed to ruin what would have been a successful visit for the their target, our President.
