4:25Now PlayingThe President of the Boy Scouts of America has a lot of reasons not to criticize Trump’s speech. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Randall Stephenson is probably best known in corporate circles as the chairman and chief executive of telecommunications giant AT&T, but he has also been president of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) since May of 2016.
The two roles are suddenly presenting him with an unusual conflict. Some parents are angry at the scouting group’s management after US president Donald Trump gave a political speech at the scouts’ “annual jamboree” on Monday in West Virginia. The tens of thousands of boys in attendance, aged 11 to 17, booed Hillary Clinton and former president Barack Obama, and cheered as Trump derided the Washington, DC “cesspool” and “fake media.”
The BSA’s Facebook page has been inundated with comments by parents threatening to pull their children and donations from the 2.4 million-strong organization unless the group denounces the speech, which they say was not in keeping with the group’s values of kindness and courtesy. The sitting US president is traditionally the honorary president of the BSA, but past presidents have generally kept politics out of speeches to the scouts.”
