UD Protest Over Appearance of Fox Pundit

Fox News

Last night a Fox News pundit got an unwelcome greeting when she spoke at the University of Delaware.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that around 80 students held a silent protest holding up a banner that read #BlackLivesMatter.

Pundit Katie Pavlich has called the Black Lives Matter movement a “violent hate group”.

She was invited by a university organization called Students for the Second Amendment that was formed earlier this year.

The News Journal reports that the audience was made up of about half protesters and half gun rights advocates.

Pavlich received $25-hundred for her address with $15-hundred for the hall -- all of which was paid for by the University.
