Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns spent more than 10 minutes of his Stanford University commencement speech Sunday demolishing everything about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. During his takedown, Burns made several stinging points without even using the candidate's name. At the top of his speech in Stanford Stadium, in Palo Alto, California, Burns noted he always strives for "conscious neutrality in my work, avoiding the advocacy of many of my colleagues." "For 216 years, our elections -- though bitterly contested -- have featured the philosophies and characters of candidates who were clearly qualified." "There comes a time when I and you can no longer remain neutral, silent -- we must speak up and speak out," said Burns, who is known for historical documentaries.
