Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes Gives Hateful Anti-Trump Graduation Speech at Wake Forest University (VIDEO) |

Scott Pelley, the veteran anchor of CBS’s 60 Minutes, delivered a rather incendiary commencement address at Wake Forest University in North Carolina this past week, targeting President Trump and the Republican Party with unambiguous disdain. Unsurprisingly, this is precisely what one might expect from a figure often labeled as a liberal voice in journalism.

The speech was laden with foreboding sentiments, punctuated by phrases such as “in times like these” and “our country is in peril,” which, while dramatic, could arguably serve as a rallying cry for any number of crises throughout American history. Yet, in this instance, they seemed more like a call to arms for a partisan audience.

Such moments often expose the subtle biases of those who claim neutrality. Pelley’s remarks suggest that he perceives himself not merely as a journalist but as a self-appointed crusader for progressive ideals—perhaps more of a Democratic activist than a dispassionate reporter.

NewsBusters provides a detailed account:

During his address last Saturday, Pelley unleashed an implicit barrage against President Trump and the MAGA movement, declaring that concepts such as “freedom of speech,” “journalism,” and “the rule of law” are facing dire threats. He portrayed a landscape of “insidious fear” infiltrating American “businesses,” “homes,” “schools,” and even our “private thoughts.”

He implored the graduates to rise to the occasion, likening their potential impact to that of Unionists battling the Confederacy, Allies confronting the Nazis, and activists in the civil rights movement challenging segregation. In Pelley’s view, it seems, Trump supporters are equated with Confederates, Nazis, and segregationists—an extreme analogy that begs the question of whether such comparisons serve to deepen divides rather than foster understanding.

This segued into Pelley’s assertion that America “needs you” to reinstate a culture where “[r]easonable people [can] differ about the life of our country” rather than resorting to “demonization” and “destruction.”

Here’s a snippet of the speech:

In his closing remarks, Pelley characterized graduates as “the fierce defenders of democracy, the seekers of truth,” and “the vanguard against ignorance” that he claims has spread across the nation (read: Trump).

He asserted: “In a moment… pic.twitter.com/EzFV79yJRR

It’s worth noting this speech when considering whether Pelley should moderate any future political debates. His stance has been made abundantly clear, and it raises questions about the objectivity expected of journalists in politically charged environments.
