Washington, D.C. — Today, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) released a video statement praising the University of North Carolina’s response to a pro-Hamas mob that disrespected the American flag and trespassed on campus property this week.
Senator Budd said:
“Right here in North Carolina, we saw a true act of leadership. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a pro-Hamas mob briefly took down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag. Within an hour, Chancellor Lee Roberts personally walked Old Glory back into the center of campus and raised it back up. He did so with help from members of law enforcement and patriotic students who stood watch and made sure our flag did not touch the ground. What happened at UNC is a model for other universities and for other leaders across the nation. Moral clarity, courage, and patriotism should always guide our actions.”
