Awesome! About time they pick someone worth listening to!
Great. One of the handful of token black republicans to speak at our graduation. Please, mr. republican, reinvigorate my passion for the American dream.
He’s an impressive dude. Interesting choice for VCU though. UR had Ed Rendell years ago and he got booed at commencement as he railed against the electoral college. Politicians and Commencements shouldn’t mix.
