NEW YORK CITY — House Speaker Mike Johnson called on Columbia President Minouche Shafik to resign Wednesday over her handling of anti-Israel protest turmoil, declaring in an extraordinary visit to the Ivy League university that school officials have allowed “lawless agitators” to take over the campus.
He was joined Wednesday by several House Republicans, who often had to speak over the shouts and chants of campus protesters who sought to drown them out. The lawmakers earlier met with Jewish students and with Ms. Shafik. He also said he intended to call President Biden, and that there is “an appropriate time” to call in the National Guard to restore order if necessary.
