Notre Dame’s stern rebuke of former football coach Lou Holtz’s
speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night
was a warranted stiff-arm.
Given Notre Dame’s political straddling as a Catholic
university, it was extraordinarily bold for the Rev. John
Jenkins, the university president, to release a statement
distancing the university from Holtz, who endorsed President
Donald Trump for reelection.
Holtz, of course, has the right to endorse any candidate he
likes. Holtz’s background as a successful coach is the reason he
was invited as a noted speaker to back Trump.
But when Holtz blasted protesters against police brutality, he
criticized many of his former players.
“There are people today, like politicians, professors,
protesters and, of course, President Trump naysayers in the
media, who like to blame others for problems,” Holtz said in a
recorded RNC speech. “They don’t have pride in our country and —
because they no longer ask, ‘What can I do for my country?’ only
what the country should be doing for them — they don’t have
pride in themselves. That’s wrong.”

journalism travels. It's affected her brain.
