Cornell Prof. Compares Donald Trump to Segregationist George Wallace

On Tuesday, Cornell Professor Elizabeth Sanders, government, presented a lecture titled “Donald Trump: a fascist, populist or demagogue reminiscent of George Wallace?” at a meeting of the Cornell Political Union.

The event consisted of a speech by Sanders, followed by a group discussion. Her speech consisted of an explanation behind her label of Trump, as well as common leftist rants against money in politics and the Israeli “occupation of Palestine.”

Sanders began her lecture by mentioning the terrorist attacks that had occurred earlier in the day in Brussels, Belgium. The professor’s immediate reaction, however, was not condolences for the victims, but rather concerns that the attacks may help Donald Trump win the election in November.
