"First of all, Columbia should have never put the custodians or the security officer in that position, and that's at the heart of the matter," Samuelsen told co-host Ainsley Earhardt on Thursday. "Columbia showed an epic disregard and epically failed to protect the workforce. They knew that this was a potential. They knew that that building was likely going to be stormed and taken over, and yet they assigned the work there anyway."
"They should have never done it," he continued. "It's been an epic failure, and I think it's part and parcel with the overall Ivy League snark that Columbia demonstrates over and over toward the blue-collar workforce."
