House speaker to announce ‘crackdown on the virus of antisemitism’ he claims is spreading on college campuses amid pro-Palestinian protests
Pro-Palestinian protesters take over Columbia University building
Republican House speaker Mike Johnson continues to direct his ire at the students and leadership of Columbia University, accusing them of antisemitism for their protests against Israel’s invasion of Gaza:
The protesters at Columbia say they’re outraged by Israel’s invasion of Gaza, and are sparring with university administrators, including president Minouche Shafik. Columbia’s leaders yesterday began suspending students who remained at a protest encampment after an afternoon deadline to disperse, and hours later, dozens of protesters took over a university building on Columbia’s Manhattan campus.
