Chaos at the Criminal Justice forum over Pres. Trump, Harris appearances.
A planned series of events that took place at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina this weekend has led to political fallout as the school co-hosted the Second Step Presidential Justice Forum and welcomed the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center as well as city Mayor Stephen Benjamin.
“I’m not upset about [Trump] coming on campus, I’m upset about not being able to come and attend the event,” said Luis de La Mora, a 19-year-old sophomore at Benedict. He told ABC News that he was disappointed that weren’t more accommodations made for the students. “ I think every time you have the opportunity to expose more young people to public service, to politics, to new ideas, I think we need to avail ourselves to them,” Benjamin said.” I wish more had the opportunity to participate today.”
In a statement to ABC News, Columbia’s mayor, Steve Benjamin, said that Benedict College had taken “full operational control” of the candidate forum. After she agreed to rejoin, she thanked Mayor Benjamin in her speech for his leadership and his rebranding of the forum.
