Our top story here this Saturday night,
the University of St. Thomas is addressing a
viral video showing one of its students making derogatory comments.
Now, this happened outside
of a conservative event in Minneapolis earlier this week.
Our Mike Manzoni joins us. And Mike,
St. Thomas says it does not condone hateful language.
What more do you have for us?
Tim, this is that viral video
that they're talking about. The post on Instagram
now has more than 300,000 likes and more than 16,000 comments.
In the video, we see a woman telling someone
to go back to their own country,
but we never see who she's talking to.
And at one point, she sees the person recording
her and looks at the camera.
This all happened outside a Turning Point USA event
on the U of M campus on Wednesday.
Turning Point is the conservative organization
that Charlie Kirk founded.
Kirk, as you may recall, was shot
and killed at one of these events in Utah last year.
The University
of St. Thomas put out
a statement saying,
quote,
the language heard in the video is inconsistent
with the university's values and convictions.
It continues saying, as a Catholic university,
we have a responsibility to provide a welcoming
environment for all and do not condone hateful language being used
by anyone in our university
community. The school says it is now addressing
the incident in accordance with its student code
of conduct, Tim. Thanks, Mike.
