The problem is Trump and Pence are preaching a message of intolerance, so why should they be afforded any? You get what you give.
Actually, no one is taking anyone's rights away. Ever since Trump and Pence stepped into the White House, not one non-white person has lost their civil rights, not one woman has lost her rights, not one gay/LGBT person has lost their rights. Not one. But the fake news fools you to believe that Trump/Pence are racist, sexist, bigoted, etc...

They are ALL of that.
But our system of government does not allow them to impose their beliefs on the rest of us. Yet.
Donald Trump happened. The most disrespectful person to ever grace the public stage. He normalized absolute and total disrespect with his own words, actions and attitude.

Interesting you should mention that particular speech and a condescending woman thinking her daughter deserves an award for sitting through her commencement speech. I know someone who was in the audience at that ceremony, sitting directly behind two guys who saw fit to wear gun-nut 'second amendment--don't tread on me' t-shirts, I assume to make a statement and also annoy the 'liberal' crowd. Every time Warren said something they didn't agree with, they pointed their fingers at her and made a shooting gesture. Lovely tolerant people--very respectful. Give me a break.

It seems that the primary source of intolerance these days is on the left. Too many leftist students today are choosing to live in an echo chamber where there is no diversity of opinion nor tolerance for anyone who disagrees with them.

Trump has defended the NC anti-LGBT bathroom law, they've supported Texas's stop anyone who looks Mexican policy, and they've supported Marine Le Penn.
Most of the United States isn't oblivious to what Trump and Spence stand for.
When my son graduated college the keynote speaker was Teddy Kennedy. My son, his mother and I and his grandmother were not fans of his, but we all sat quietly and were respectful. We'd of been very disappointed in our son had he walked out. He was our Senator and his office deserved the respect of our sitting quietly through his speech. Many others in attendance were fans of his and it was their graduation ceremony too. Never would we have assumed that we had a right to disrupt or otherwise mar the graduation ceremony for them. The protestors at Notre Dame may have left quietly, but they marred the ceremony nonetheless.
Whether it was 1 or 1,000, it only matters that some people are standing up for their convictions and doing what they think is right. Don't know if someone posted this video, but here it is:

Here's a shocker for you. The majority of Americans don't want unisex bathrooms and it doesn't make a person evil if they support Marine le Penn.
That's the problem with some people. You think everyone needs to think like you do. Every poll shows that most Americans consider themselves more conservative than liberal but I guess you can't understand that nor tolerate it, but that's your personal problem.
