New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said House Speaker Mike Johnson should be focusing on Washington instead of 'politicizing' the ongoing crisis at Columbia University.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said House Speaker Mike Johnson should be focusing on Washington instead of “politicizing” the ongoing crisis at Columbia University.

“It seems to me there’s a lot more responsibilities and crises to be dealt with in Washington,” the Democratic governor said. “I’d encourage the speaker to go back and perhaps take up the migrant bill, the bill to deal with closing the borders, so we can deal with the real crisis that New York has.”on the college’s president to resign as pro-Palestinian protesters have set up an encampment on the campus and resisted calls from the president to disband.

Mayor Eric Adams has also strayed from joining the calls for Shafik to resign, and he said any police response — which last week included breaking up the Columbia protests at the college’s request — is limited to what the school wants.
