During a September 22 appearance on Fox Business’ Varney & Co., conservative columnist Lawrence Jones said there is a great freedom to exercise free speech on Texas campuses because the students have guns.
Jones said this when asked to compare campuses in Texas to UC Berkeley.
The segment began with a guest host recounting the money Berkeley spends on security for conservative speakers on campus. The host pointed out that Berkeley “shelled out $300,000 in security costs for its Free Speech Week.” He pointed out that the $300,000 is in addition to the $600,000 the school paid in security fees for single speaker’s appearance at an earlier date.
The camera then shifted to Lawrence Jones, who joined the show from Dallas. The host summarized the $900,000 in security costs and asked, “What the heck is going on on college campuses?”
