Schumer advised that “universities political problems are really only among Republicans”
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce report on antisemitism is filled with damning materials, but some of the most damning bits of it deal not just with the reality of campus antisemitism and how university leaders covered it up, but the complicity of the Democrats in those cover-ups.
The description of contacts between Sen. Schumer and Columbia University leaders has already gone viral.
On January 4, then-President Shafik explained to Shipman and her fellow Co-Chair David Greenwald that she had met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who advised Shafik that “universities political problems are really only among Republicans.”The Senator’s staff recommended the “best strategy is to keep heads down,” and when asked, Schumer and his staff indicated they did not believe it was necessary for the University’s leaders to meet with Republicans.Greenwald echoed this, writing in response, “If we are keeping our head down, maybe we shouldn’t meet with Republicans.”
Sen. Schumer had once claimed to be a ‘shomer’ or ‘protector’ for the Jewish community.
The report reveals that he was actually a ‘shomer’ for campus antisemites.
Columbia University leaders were hoping that Democrats would take the House to protect them from further congressional oversight.
Days later, Greenwald exchanged text messages with his immediate predecessor Jonathan Lavine, about the Committee’s investigation and how they hoped Democrats would retake the House. On January 7, Greenwald sent Chair Emeritus Lavine a recent New York Times article about the expansion of the Committee’s investigation into campus antisemitism. Lavine responded, “Let’s hope the Dems win the house back.Greenwald replied, “Absolutely.”
That’s damning when it comes to Columbia University and for Congressional Democrats who were seen as protectors and defenders of bigotry.

The fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, rightly and wisely, in a speech had declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Jim Harmon says
Schumer’s yella.

Appalling, Somehistory–thanks for that link.
Have you noticed that first you couldn’t say anything critical of Islam, then of any Muslims, and now *even open Jihad terrorists* are increasingly off-limits?

They are trying to make terrorism acceptable. But if they claim the that Israel oppressed them we should look at how (they all) have been oppressing every one of our nations they emigrate to!

College Presidents Turned to Sen. Schumer and Dems to Protect Them From Congressional Oversight on Antisemitism

It is ironic they call Trump Hitler all the time ,and try to paint him as a racist ,the leaders of the democratic party are running cover for the racist leading many of American colleges. They are providing cover for racist appeasers and terrorist groups who want to harass Jewish students enrolled at these colleges. How would Chucky Schumer react if these same groups where harassing him or his family or friends in their own community only because they where Jewish? Of course Orange man Hitler ,republicans are all bad ,but us democrats can not raise our voices up against the people running our colleges who appease and look the other way when Jewish students are harassed and threated by jihadist and useful idiots in their colleges why are these thugs enrolled in these colleges not expelled ? I am sure if the KKK try to set up a “club” and recruit on a college campus the leaders running the college who shut them down.

So, Sen. Schumer, current Senate majority leader, supports anti-Semitism on the Columbia University campus.
Let that sink in…

And he took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. He should be impeached for NOT protecting American citizens.
James Lincoln says
Agree, OLD GUY.
