He was not the only speaker, and he only spoke for 7 minutes. His flight, Hotel, Food and all other expenses were his. You watch too much of Greta on Fox News. She misreported this event the same way you are by suggesting that it costs Taxpayers $100,000 for his 7 minutes. This is not true.

To protect him from whackjobs who walk around with blinders on I'm sure. Agree with him or not, he has a right to say what he wants. Just like that idiot pastor in Florida who was going to burn the Qur'ans, he too had protection assigned to him. Outspoken speech is sure to upset the passionate and maybe push some over the edge.

Not at all. He made a mockery out of the incredible lack of response to the "Take our Jobs, Please" issue.
