Antisemitism at Columbia University 'pains me to see,' Patriots owner Robert Kraft says

New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft said Monday night he 'never thought' he would see such hate and vitriol against Jewish people ever in the United States. Kraft, who has announced that he is pulling support for his alma mater Columbia University, appeared on Fox News Channel’s 'Hannity' to talk about his decision.

’d never thought I’d see in America – what’s happening right now. And it really pains me to see,' Kraft said. 'We have our holiday going on right now, it goes back to memories of thousands of years ago where negative things were happening, and the same is happening now in this great country that offered so many opportunities to our families who came here as immigrants.' 'And we have to keep it open.

Look at America, we’ve done research, and it shows 90% of the people in this country are good people. They just have to be educated, and we can’t have them apathetic or misguided. We have to let them know, and they have to stand up and not be silent,' he added. 'It starts with the Jews, but then every group that feels marginalized, whether it be Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, gay people.
