Yeah, both those moments sent a shivver of embarrassment up my spine. As I said, I liked where the girl was going with it, but when challenged you’ve got to have more than chants and “pay me first” to rise up to it.

In the full video, there are some decent back and forths that go on. That said, it’s a seasoned public speaker going against college students that are passionate, but still finding their voice, and i’d like to think it was a learning moment for her.

The chanters and bottle shakers though, I dunno, I doubt they learned anything.
