A number of Democrats in the Senate have joined their Republican colleagues in denouncing discrimination against Jewish students at the prestigious Ivy League Columbia University, where an anti-Israel solidarity encampment persists on campus, prompting the institution to move classes online on Monday. 'Every American has a right to protest,' Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement.
Fetterman, who has emerged as one of Israel's strongest supporters in his party, compared the demonstration to 'Charlottesville for these Jewish students.' Fetterman referenced the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally in Virginia that drew hundreds of white supremacists and ultimately turned violent, resulting in the death of one woman. 'President Minouche Shafik: do your job or resign, so Columbia can find someone who will,' Fetterman added.
