'For people to be buying tickets … and they’re not gonna come, so [fewer] people can actually hear him talk. I was not expecting that.'
Students at Amherst College, a private liberal arts school in Massachusetts, planned to protest former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ on-campus speech on Wednesday.
“Together, we will learn about how to oppose the racist, xenophobic, heterosexist, and otherwise cruel, oppressive policies that Sessions enacted as a senator and U.S. attorney general,” the event page said. Attorney General Jeff Session delivers remarks during a remembrance vigil for the victims of the 9/11 attacks in the Great Hall at the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building September 11, 2018, in Washington, D.C. On Wednesday, he will speak at Amherst College and despite protests, the Amherst College Republicans president said the attorney general's opinions could be beneficial to everyone.
McCone described himself as a southerner, having been born and raised in North Carolina, a deeply religious Catholic, the son of an immigrant and openly gay. His opposition to Sessions was both identity and policy related and McCone specifically criticized the “zero-tolerance” immigrant policy. “It’s the one way to be respectful of Sessions as a person, as difficult as that may be, while also actively protesting and making clear our stances against his policies,” the student said.
One student, Dalen Akker, posted on Facebook that while he disagreed with many comments Sessions made regarding immigration, he nevertheless respected the former attorney general’s perspective.
