2020 Contenders Bad College Commencement Speeches

College commencement speeches usually consist of uplifting oratory on what graduates will accomplish or advice for entering the real world. However, 2020 Democratic hopefuls took a bit of a different route:

“Elizabeth Warren told Lesley University graduates in Massachusetts that she suspected they were hung over and actively swiping for dates on Tinder.”

Inspiring.

The America Rising team created honorary degrees for these Democrats that we think best highlights their strengths.
