Carr Offers Opinion on Protests at Columbia University

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr appeared on a News Nation broadcast Tuesday to opine on protests at Columbia University over the conflict in Gaza, according to a Carr X post Wednesday. On the broadcast, Carr said he was in New York for work and “thought it was important to express some appreciation for what the NYPD is doing out here,” and witness the protest. He said the First Amendment protects political speech but not violent conduct. “That includes storming buildings,” he said. “Everyone here has the right to express their viewpoints, however vile,” Carr tweeted.
