YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia on Wednesday to meet with Jewish students and deliver remarks on what his office called the “troubling rise of virulent antisemitism on America’s college campuses.” Johnson, speaking while overlooking the Columbia encampment, said if threats continue it may be appropriate for President Joe Biden to call in the National Guard.

“We can’t allow this kind of hatred and antisemitism to flourish and we must stop it in its tracks,” Johnson said, as some students booed and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans.

Johnson said the pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University should go back to class and "stop the nonsense."
