Students at Columbia University heckled Speaker of the House Mike Johnson during his speech on Wednesday, addressing the rise of antisemitism on college and university campuses in the past week.
“We are standing here right now on the steps of the Low Library. In this very building right behind us, Columbia University once awarded Winston Churchill an honorary degree,” Johnson said. “And, it was Churchill who said, ‘It is manifestly right that Jews should have a national home where they may be reunited.’ We believe in that principle.
Columbia students heckle Speaker of the House Mike Johnson at his press conference: “Get the fu*k off our campus!”The Speaker of the House’s visit to Columbia University comes as, a week ago, anti-Israel protesters took over the lawn of the university and established an, were arrested, and a handful of students were suspended from Barnard College, including Hirsi, for their involvement in the encampment.
Since then, anti-Israel encampments, protests, and rallies have sprouted up at universities and colleges across the nation such as Yale University, theJohnson continued to address a statement issued by Hamas, a U.S.-designated Islamic terror group, calling the anti-Israel protesters on colleges and universities “the future leaders of America.”
“It is detestable,” Johnson added. “The cherished traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies. They place a target on the backs of Jewish students in the United States and here on this campus, a growing number of students have chanted in support of terrorists. They have chased down Jewish students, they have mocked them and reviled them.
