Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted administrators at Penn State on Tuesday night in the wake of an incident where a student spat on a comedian.
“Yesterday our friend Alex Stein arrived on the campus of Penn State — Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA. He was there for comedy night,” Carlson said. “He’s hilarious. But comedy is no longer allowed at Penn State, so angry students, very angry students shut it down. Then they began screaming at Alex Stein, and then one got so overwrought that she spat on him. Now, if you haven’t seen this video, pay close attention to the girl who spits on Alex Stein and ask yourself if you can’t picture her wearing a Khmer Rouge uniform executing people. You probably can.”
Stein, a personality on Blaze TV, and Gavin McInnes, a co-founder of Vice and the Proud Boys, arrived at Penn State for a planned event Monday, the New York Post reported. College administrators denounced Stein and McInnes prior to the appearance hosted by Uncensored America.
The event was canceled by university officials “because campus police were concerned about escalating violence and public safety,” Penn State University President Neeli Bendapudi said in a statement released Tuesday. The video shows Stein engaging with the protesters, with one screaming obscene wishes for Stein to die.
After Stein makes a comment to her, the protesting student spits on him.
Thank you so much @TuckerCarlson for letting me come on and honor my Mother tonight and remember we have nothing to fear except fear itself! ❤️?? pic.twitter.com/jvw4VhhUy5

“The hate. So is that OK, at Penn State, spitting on people? Well, we asked the president of Penn State, Neeli Bendapudi, who makes $1.3 million a year at a public university, about that. Seems like criminal behavior, on her campus,” Carlson said. “What do you think of this? But she wouldn’t say. She’s taking a pass. Apparently she endorses it. Neeli Bendapudi, $1.3 million a year. This is happening, and she can’t say word one about it, and yet Penn State tells us that Alex Stein doesn’t share their values.”
Should universities discipline students who engage in protests that include assaults?
Carlson then asked Stein about the incident.
“This is an indoctrination camp from middle school to high school to college,” Stein said. “These kids are radicalized to have these leftist ideologies that are not beneficial to society. So these people actually, literally spit and assault us in public, and they’re defended by their administrators. So, this is the sad reality in which we live in.”
Stein revealed that his mother passed away in 2021, alleging she had been given Remdesivir without his permission, saying he felt there was “nothing scarier than that.”
“So me, seeing a bunch of idiot college kids spit on me and yell at me, I have no fear, and that’s what I want to try to express to the people out there,” Stein said. “She spit on me, but the government and these people that are in power are spitting on us every day and telling us it’s raining. So all I want to do is try to wake people up to the harsh reality in which we live in, Tucker.”
Penn State did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
