Jewish lawmakers on Capitol Hill are quiet on the antisemitic protests that have roiled Columbia University and other college campuses in recent weeks because their goal is to shore up support for the Democratic Party ahead of November, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., told Newsmax on Monday.
"I mean, look at Chuck Schumer," he continued. "Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader from New York, the highest-ranking Jewish official in America. It's often said the most dangerous place in America is between Chuck Schumer and a microphone and yet he has been utterly silent about these protests.
"You see the unrest that is happening, and it's part of the reason why they are trying so desperately to go after Netanyahu and why they are trying to placate these people — because they're concerned about the impact electorally," he said.
