From the November 10 edition of Courtside Entertainment Group's The Laura Ingraham Show:
LAURA INGRAHAM: So these individuals think it's unfair that a college president would not seek to do what, exactly? Because of two incidents that are, frankly, unconfirmed and they're certainly not caught on tape. They're not confirmed. They happened over a period of time, months and months and months.

This is all theater. This is the theater of the absurd. This is not about learning or justice. This is about rabble-rousing and division. And I believe this is one big set up to 2016. I'm going to pull this curtain back for you. I think a lot of what's going on in these campus protests are being used to drive the vote and to drive a further wedge between Americans of good faith.
Will there be mean, terrible people in real life? What happens when these kids get outside a safe zone, when they graduate, if they graduate? When they graduate, then, presumably, they'll be in the real world and things sometimes will not be pleasant. And things sometimes will not be fair. And where do they go then? Whose firing do they ask then? What safe zone do they ask for then? I always fast forward and I think who are these people? Who are these people, what are they going to be in the workplace? Who are their parents? What are they going to demand when they go into the workplace? Okay, I want this, this, this, this, and If you don't give it to me, I'm going to file a complaint with the EEOC. I'm going to claim that you said something about me. Because this just emboldens people.
Don't worry about studies. Don't worry about fairness. Don't worry about whether the people who were forced to resign under threat, whether they have families, whether they are people of good conscious, whether they actually deserved it. Who cares? It's another scalp. It's another trophy on the wall. And it makes y'all feel good for a moment.
And then at some point, you do have to go into the real world. You have to raise children, to live in a society where you're not always going to get your way. And screaming and wailing and doing your protests and the sit-ins starts to get really old. Maybe they'll grow up and they'll do the newer version of all of this, which is the Obama-style community activism, the community organizing. Which is just a shimmer. I mean, this is all geared toward 2016, turning out the vote and turning people against Republicans, if you ask me.
